PhD graduate and expert tutor offering English tuition online from primary to postgraduate level

Methodology

Hi, my name is Aleix and I am a recent PhD graduate in English with a real vocation for, and experience in, tutoring English at primary, secondary and university levels.

My method of teaching is fully adaptable to the needs and goals of each student. I invariably strive, however, to strike the right balance between demanding teaching which pursues the best possible performance from each student and a friendly, inclusive and encouraging style which will make this pursual not only rewarding, but also engaging, fun, and help the student build confidence on the given subject.

One of my great stregths as a tutor is clarity. In general, I give great importance to the communication of contents in a clear, understandable way so as to ensure that the tutee incorporates them fully. I employ examples, summaries, handouts, diagrams, etc. to facilitate the student's engagement and familiarity with the given subject. At the same time, I concentrate on transmitting my studying techniques to the tutee so that they can learn to perform by themselves. Something my tutoring always involves is the development of good, effective organisational skills as well as the improvement of independent studying strategies. The goal is not only that the student succeeds on a specific task or subject, but that they develop the necessary tools to become help themselves succeed in any future challanges.

As a modern and young tutor, I also make extensive use of a variety of media to enhance my teaching. Whilst reading and writing remains at the base of my methods, I often draw on audiovisual materials, like films, video clips or music, to enhance understanding of specific areas of study. I also use importantly real-time editable online documents which prove pre-eminently useful when it comes to proofreading and editing work that is needs to be delivered quickly.
