McGill University 1st Year Student offering tutoring for 11+, 13+, and GCSE levels in Humanities and Languages

Methodology

Humanities :
My classes are based on discussion so that pupils learn to engage with, and refine their points orally in order to form well-structured essays. We will look at a variety of texts from different time periods for English and History, in order to formulate accurate and rounded responses to questions covering a broad literary time frame tailored to whatever standard the pupil is at. I find exposing students to a diverse variety of texts ranging across both poetry and prose is something they both engage well with and enables them to cover all grounds possible in an exam situation.

Languages :
With an emphasis on speaking in the target language for as much time as possible (ability dependant), I aim to build student's confidence as this is often what stops people excelling in languages. We will also be looking at some texts and short-stories in the target-language to expose pupil's to the language in its raw form rather than just what it looks like on a worksheet. Finally, there will be an emphasis on grammar and writing as these are the building blocks to any language, and fundamentally the most important when it comes to an examination.
