English Literature and Language by a University of Oxford Graduate

I have been teaching Italian for more than 30 years. I started in Milan, I then went to San Francisco and now here in London. My first lesson with you would be to assess your level and start speaking Italian by writing in the chat if we are on Skype or on your notebook if we meet face to face. I use also paintings to explore vocabulary and if you live here in London, we would meet at the National Gallery for example and explore the Italian language through what we see in the painting.

I tutor French language for learners interested in improving their pronunciation, grammar, reading, writing, and preparation for international exams, I'm willing to help you become fluent in daily life conversations simply and creatively with no complications and a sense of humour sometimes. My method will take you step by step to meet your goal! I am dynamic, easy-going and full of energy! All materials will be provided to you by email.

I have over four years experience as a self-employed tutor, specialising in the tuition of English language and literature. Subjects taught: • English language (all levels) • English literature (all levels) • History (KS3 - A Level) • Economics (KS3 - GCSE) • Mathematics (KS3 - GCSE) • Oxbridge admissions process • SATs • 11+ examinations I also have experience as an English teacher working in a private school in Italy, preparing students for Trinity centre oral examinations.

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to: - consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling - improve their language skills (allophone students) - improve their speaking skills (conversation classes) -profect the written expression - prepare for ECR exams - prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion) - help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation - work on argumentative texts - acquire a method to analyze literary texts - learn how to perform bibliographic research The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing. For help with writing: The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson. For analyzes of oral literary texts: In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage. For the corrections of end of studies work: so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting. Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone. For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages. For adults (FLE): In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website). The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling. Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Are you struggling to feel creative? Do you feel like you've always wanted to try writing but don't know where to start? Do you want to find a way to express yourself and the world around? Come and join me and together we can find your voice, get the ball rolling and give you the little starter tips that will help you to unlock your greatest power - your voice. I'm Ché, an actor/writer and director from Manchester. Living in London. When I was 15 a lot of stuff was happening in my life, I felt powerless, like talking about it would be a burden. I also struggled to say what I was thinking and sometimes my mouth couldn't keep up with my brain. So I bought myself some pens and some notebooks and I began to keep a 'diary', these little notebooks I would scribble down in were anything but 'diaries' though. I soon found that channelling my energy into poetry and storytelling, helped me not only put into perspective the things in my life I was struggling with, but I also found my voice, my vocation and what I now do for a career. Whether you have professional ambitions to be a writer/storyteller/poet or just feel stuck in a rut and would love to let off some steam by writing a few quirky limericks, sign up to my class and we can find your voice and GET YOUR WORDS OUT.
