Brushing up on your Brontës? Scrutinising some Scott? Sometimes you need a little extra help... I have a lively tutoring style that is sure to engage and enhance any student's interest in the subject.
While I'm happy to discuss my approach on a case-by-case basis, I broadly focus on two key areas: - Providing a full and structured understanding of the subject in hand, tailored to the examination or syllabus being studied.
My teaching method is based on making sure that the student becomes completely confident on their ability to write a strong and comprehensive analysis, or creative piece. Each student needs to feel that their thoughts and understanding of the world is valid and valued.
I believe learning is best facilitated by engagement and discussion. Each lesson will follow a loose model: For Literature lessons: -A discussion about the primary text being studied. -A short critical reading related to the primary text. -Discussion about the critical reading, and the primary text. For Creative Writing: -A short reading about the topic (ie.
I have just finished my MSc in English Literature and I am looking to share my knowledge and help people at any level: from primary up to undergraduate level. Lesson structure will be totally dependent on your demands and needs. I am easy going and patient, so my approach will be a collaborative.
My teaching method is entirely dependent on the student themselves. I would like to have an initial meeting to establish their learning styles and their areas of weakness and build my lessons around their needs. My goal is for each lesson to be fun and engaging, and focus specifically on areas where their work could be improved.
I believe that everybody has creativity inside of them. Creativity is deeply connected to who we are and most importantly who we can be, our vocation and our strengths. It is the source of confidence which is vital to an open mind and the success of learning.
I approach each topic by getting a grasp on what the students' particular goals are, and then tailor-making our sessions to ensure that we reach them with time to spare! I'm friendly and patient, but I also require discipline from my students. The majority of the students that I have offered tutoring to have been high-school age, but I'm absolutely open to university level tutoring, too.
I give lessons to GCSE and A Level students studying for qualifications in English Language and English Literature. I am known for my relaxed yet attentive teaching style, and I understand the importance of creating a safe and open environment with the student in order that academic success can be comfortably attained.
I am a past A Level English Literature Student who has a passion for Poetry and Creative Writing. I give lessons to those in Secondary School doing their GCSE's and those doing their A Levels. I can help formulate ideas on literary classics and using structured advice and tutorship on poetry and creative writing.
My name is Marianne Wilson, and I am keen to help those with their English studies! Often at school, English can seem confusing, outdated or just plain boring. Through my enthusiasm and excitement, I can ignite an interest and understanding for all forms of literature. I also have a keen eye for detail, and can use this to fix pernickety grammar and language issues.
First of all, I aim to make my students comfortable with the material and with me as tutor/teacher, ensuring they have a solid foundation we can build on to reach their goals. I work with students to identify objectives, encouraging them to aim high but stay realistic.
My teaching method is to include a range of different activities. I like to approach lessons online as I would teaching in a classroom; modelling, scaffolding, giving examples and making my own content so lessons are lively and engaging. I feel it's important to continually assess students' progress as I teach them so that lessons can be personalised.
Having gained both a Higher A, and Advanced Higher B's both in English and History I feel I will be able to guide anyone from around 1st Year to 6th year students looking to gain some help in this subject. I am a highly visual person so I would love to teach using mind maps and making the learning process as simple and fun as possible.
Hi there! I'm a law student at the University of Edinburgh offering English lessons, including English Literature, to Primary, Secondary and GCSE students. I'm an easy going person with a great passion for sharing my excellent skills and knowledge in the English Language with others.
I believe teaching is all about engagement, and student involvement. I strive to provide you with the knowledge and tools to get and A+ on that assignment, but to solve problems on your own. Lessons will be be instructional, but based on a guided inquiry model. The first 5 - 10 mins will be dedicated to an explanation of the issues and struggles you have encountered with the assignment.
My teaching methodology would revolve around you; I am open to whatever would help you best. I can offer feedback and advice on an essay you are working on, help you plan essays, give you mock-exam questions or we could just brainstorm and discuss a book you are studying.
Through communication and time I can help students become more passionate about their subjects whilst also helping them achieve a high standard of knowledge on their chosen topic. Through excercises, constructive feedback and discussion students will be able to become confident with their subject and improve their ability to discuss and write about it.
I like to have an organised teaching structure, but if it is valuable to go off course a little then that's fine too. I think it's important to identify one's learning style and work mainly with it, i.e kinetic or auditory etc..
Hi! My name is Ieuan and I am a Higher/A Level and university level Tutor based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have always loved learning, and my skills and experience have given me a passion in helping others learn and achieve their potential.
It depends on the student and on what they want help with. I can help you plan and produce an essay over a few lessons or help you to edit a draft.
My teaching method is online and I can help you with the work you are doing currently e.g. reading essays and explaining ideas and methods that are not understood and give advice that I have used. School doesn't have to be hard and stressful and for these subjects an understanding and solid method of planning are key.
I base my classes on interaction and making sure every student understands what I am trying to express. There needs a lot of reading done for literature and I expect students to have read a brief background on the topic to be discussed.
My aim is to tailor the lesson to you. If you are learning English, but you have a mathematical brain, I will modify my lesson plan to teach you formulas to write an outstanding essay. My method puts your learning style at the centre and I will work hard to plan a lesson that works for you.
Lessons will be focused around reading literature and finding what is most important in a given text. I can support you through the various works that you are studying, while also teaching you the most important skills you will need for an exam. When it comes time for you to do your internal assessments, I will guide you through those as well.
I begin any teaching process by making a student feel comfortable and identifying their weaknesses and strengths, from there we can achieve their goals and (more importantly) attain the required grades. I understand that not every individual has a natural affinity for English as a subject, but I believe that every student is capable of achieving an impressive grade in English.
I am a Final Year Literature student at the University of Edinburgh with a background in Classical and Modern Literature, specialising in contemporary UK based literature studies. I prefer to take a student-led approach to my lessons, establishing in early sessions where the pupil requires the most amount of work to build the strongest foundations for learning.
Learning isn’t simply a matter of repeating the same thing over again until it’s ingrained in memory - developing an understanding of the topic is also essential. I achieve this by holding discussions with my tutees, not just reciting what it is they ought to know until they remember it.
I like to have quite a relaxed teaching style and build a relationsip with my students.
I can help you communicate effectively, both orally and on paper or the screen. A recent graduate with a year's experience of English teaching at all levels - from 2 years of age all the way to 60 year olds. My strengths are dissertation writing (awarded 1st class distinction for my dissertation), creative writing, CV & resume construction, design (6 years of freelancing) and copy writing.
