About Me

Hello, my name is Jack and I am originally from West Yorkshire, England. Outside of an academic setting, I gain a strong sense of fulfilment in teaching something to someone. I enjoy seeing them grow, and chartering the progress they make. Having recently graduated with a BA in English Literature from University in Bristol, my subject expertise will match the content of my classes. The best teachers I have had in the past are the ones that inspire, or instil a deeper appreciation for learning. In my case, it was the love of literature that was sparked. I aim to do the same.

My academic journey has fuelled my passion for working with children, as I am deeply committed to supporting their development and making a meaningful impact in their lives. I believe that education should be both enlightening and enjoyable. Whilst teaching a syllabus, I will strive to create lessons that inspire curiosity and foster a love for learning.

Education

BA (Hons) English Literature
I achieved a high 2:1 degree

3 A-Levels in English Literature, Geography, and Chemistry

11 GCSEs including Maths and English (6-9)

Experience / Qualifications

Ghyll Royd Private school, Burley-in-wharfedale

I worked as an After school club leader at this school. Responsibilities included:

-Assisting the children with homework
-Participating in outdoor/indoor activities
-Preparing food
-Regulating behaviour and ensuring pupil safety


My mum is also a fully qualified, professional tutor who has over 30 years experience. Much of the knowledge she has, I have inherited, and aim to instil within my lessons.
I will instruct non-native speakers in English, focusing on language acquisition and communication skills. I aim to improve grammar, and monitor grammatical errors. I will also inform why these errors are commonly made. Assisting with the formation of sentences and improving overall writing ability, will also be a focus.
As an English Literature tutor, I will help students improve their understanding and skills in literary analysis, reading comprehension, and essay writing. I am most familiar with the AQA teaching syllabus. Ultimately, I want to provide personalised support to help students: -Understand classic and contemporary literary works -Develop critical thinking and analytical skills -Prepare for GCSE, A-Level, and other academic exams -Improve essay writing techniques Specifically this might include support with some of the following: -Breaking down literary texts -Analysing themes and literary devices -Practicing close reading techniques

Russian Language A1 - C2 / Русский язык и литература
Hi All, thank you for checking out my course. This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul. I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work. You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!

Learner English for beginners and all other learners
Acquiring additional languages will broaden your horizons; it will enable you to interact with a greater number of individuals and enhance your social network, while also enhancing critical thinking skills from diverse perspectives that may result in significant career opportunities. Cultural awareness, improved communication skills and enhanced academic performance are just a few of the benefits of learning new languages or improving your language skills. For an academic student, I would monitor their current classes, design exercises to enhance their proficiency and concentrate on identifying and ameliorating their weaknesses. In a lesson for a volunteer learner, I would prioritise speaking practice, since the pronunciation of certain syllables is essential.

Abdrahman
A remote & onsite Arabic class where students can learn speaking, writing & reading. It's also a class where Quran and Islamic Studies are taught.
Hello! My name is Abdrahman, from Nigeria. I have studied Arabic language (including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills). I also studied Quran & it's sciences, Tajweed, and other Islamic studies for more than fourteen years. I have studied Arabic from the International Open University and Arabic Institute. Currently, I'm also an Undergraduate student of Islamic Studies Education in the University of Lagos, Akoka. I also study under the tutelage of Sheikh Raslān from Egypt. I am a tutor of modern standard Arabic, classical Arabic (the language of Quran and Hadith) and colloquial Arabic ('āmiyyah). I love teaching Arabic because it is a very important language of Islam. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said we should love Arabic language because: he is an Arabic, the holy Quran is in Arabic language and the language of the paradise dwellers is Arabic. I also love teaching Arabic language because it is the fifth most spoken language in the world. It is the official language of 26 countries including 5 of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's sixth most spoken language in the world. Learning such a language will avail you to the discovery of most interesting cultures in today's world. It will also look good in your resume. With Arabic language, you'll become a polyglot and you will be able to adapt to the environments of Arab. As a Muslim, with Arabic language, you'll have thorough understanding of Quran and Sunnah. I have been tutoring Arabic and Islamic Studies since 2014 both online and offline till date. I tutor the learners between the ages of 5 - 80. The focus of my instruction is on all the important skills of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar and vocabulary development. With these, you'll be able to intermingle with Arabic speaking people in any Arab environment you find yourself and of course, you'll have yourself prepared and fit for any formal exam. I am also certified to instruct in the memorization of Quran, the sciences of Quran like different versions of Quranic recitation (riwāyāt), the exegesis of Quran (tafsīr), e.t.c I have syllabus and materials for tutoring Arabic efficiently within a period of six to twelve months. I'm well experienced in tutoring with these books: ➡️ I love Arabic ➡️ Lessons in Arabic language ➡️ Nūrul bayān ➡️ Iqrā' qirā'tī ➡️ Qā'idāh Nūrāniyyah ➡️ Qā'idāh Makkiyyah ➡️ Qā'idāh Baghdādiyyah ➡️ Arabic in your hands ➡️ Tuhfatul Atfāl ➡️ Exegesis of Ibn Kathīr e.t.c I also have experience in teaching English language and Philosophy. Learning English language helps in developing ideas and communicating them. I would be glad to be your tutor in this journey, choose me and you will not regret it. See you in my class! I have 7 years of teaching experience. I'm a certified Arabic and English teacher. I have TESL and simplified Arabic certification. My teaching method is philosophical, experimental and persuasive. My teaching approach is simple to complex.

"Master the Art of English: From Basics to Business, Colloquialisms to Confident Communication"
As an English teacher, I design my classes to accommodate learners of all levels and ages. My goal is to help students improve their skills in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding English. Beyond the basics, I also prioritize teaching colloquialisms and reducing accents for those interested in sounding more natural and fluent in their speech. For students who are looking to improve their business English skills, I provide specialized lessons that focus on industry-specific language and terminology. Throughout my classes, I strive to create a positive and engaging learning environment. I encourage my students to participate actively, ask questions, and practice what they've learned through class discussions and exercises. Ultimately, my aim is to help students develop a lifelong love for the English language and the confidence to communicate effectively in any situation.
