Analysis, essay writing and deeper understandings of English literature.
English literature is a creative and academically enhancing subject which opens up limitless modes of thinking. Within the class I will focus on close analysis, reading a wide range of literary texts (from classics to contemporary novels) as well as working on essay writing techniques. I believe that with the right guidance and skills, English literature can be transformed from “boring” to a topic you thoroughly enjoy !

About Me
I am a 21 year old student, studying English literature at Manchester university. I love to be out in nature, spending time with my friends and I am a huge animal lover ! Reading has been a passion of mine for my whole life and I found books to be a way of delving into my imagination and ideas. However, despite always loving literature and reading, I haven’t always found it the easiest academically. With anxiety I often had to create my own learning style to adapt and thrive in school, using cgp books to make my own flash cards with rhymes or random mnemonics. Now I am much more confident and thriving, having just got a first in my second year of my course. It’s my aim to help others achieve the same ! I would be completely on board to look at specific texts students are interested in and even graphic novels (as I am a big fan of them myself, especially fun home by Alison bechdel) so feel free to take the lessons in whichever direction best serves you. I hope to meet you soon !Education

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder 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.

French for all level, including IB French with a native French speakerI am a native-speaking french teacher, who has achieved a high 6 in IB french A level, self-taught.
I believe in teaching french (and languages in general) through practice: we will speak french in every class while learning about grammar, and practising writing skills.
If you are an Ib student, I can help you prepare for your exams, IAs and IOs and achieve the best possible marks.
Having lived in France for a major part of my life, I gladly discuss french culture, history and literature with you if you are interested. I am all for making classes as enjoyable as possible !!!
A little more about me,
I have tutored a few students in French in the last few years, and I graduated from the IB in 2021 with 39 points in ETIS (ESPOO). I am to enter the University of Warwick in a Politics, Economics and Philosophy degree in the end of September.

Proofreading and correction of written work such as mature work, end-of-study dissertations, internship reportsI offer careful proofreading, both in terms of content and form, of written work such as internship reports, senior work, end-of-study dissertations, dissertations, comments or reading sheets.
I correct language errors: grammar, syntax, language register, spelling. I also suggest possibly bringing in other sources and rectifying the structure of the work if necessary.
