Linguistics: Phrase Structure, Transformational Grammar and the Minimalist ProgramTranslate this text using Google Translate.

The Chomskian Linguistics model: what this course focuses on and how I can help you The premise: A theory of universal grammar that aims to explain why syntax has the properties it does, and how the human child comes to the world with ‘genetic guidance’ in their native language competence. This is a cognitive approach to grammar, not merely taxonomic (I am aware that most schools in the UK don’t teach grammar). Some parts of the theory (which spans 70 years to date) are taught in different universities at different stages of its development. Students have approached me to know more (or clarify) the Minimalist program (1995 onwards) which has aimed to reduce the conceptual apparatus and simplify the theory. We shall look at VPISH (VP-internal subject hypothesis) and VP shells as well as doing away with intermediate projections which have relied on X-bar theory. The latter is still taught at some freshers’ classes. A good grasp of grammatical categories (noun, verb, adverb) will be necessary as well as grammatical functions (predicate, subject, inflection, adjunct). Some courses are still relying on binding and c-command, as well as other theoretical landmarks which are necessary for understanding the evolution of the theoretical model. Exercises set and essay titles will rely on the student’s targeted requirements (as per their own university). For those who want to prepare for a forthcoming university course, or wish to explore this grammatical model, we shall follow UK authors who have shown a more sympathetic approach to learning.

Mathematics is a fundamental subject that develops problem-solving, logical reasoning, and analytical thinking. To make math easy to understand, various techniques can be used, such as visual learning, hands-on activities, and real-life applications. For young learners, visual methods like number lines, diagrams, and shapes help them grasp abstract concepts. Manipulatives, such as counting blocks or fraction bars, make arithmetic and fractions tangible. Games and puzzles turn learning into an engaging experience, helping kids develop a positive attitude toward math. As a teacher, I would use storytelling and real-world examples to connect math with daily life, making abstract ideas relatable. For instance, teaching addition through shopping scenarios or geometry through building blocks helps students understand concepts naturally. Interactive teaching, such as group activities and peer discussions, encourages collaboration and problem-solving. Moreover, step-by-step scaffolding ensures students build confidence. Encouraging a growth mindset where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities reduces math anxiety. Technology and apps can also make learning more interactive through visual simulations. By using these techniques, I can create an engaging, supportive learning environment where students see math not as a challenge but as an exciting tool to understand the world around them.

I'm so happy I found Mariia to help me learn Russian. She is extremely professional and friendly, she manages to make it fun and easy to understand - the hours are passing so quickly! After only a couple a lessons my understanding of the Russian language has already improved a lot. You can see Mariia works hard to prepare the lessons and adapt to the level of the student! Definitely recommend you learn with her!

Excellent responsible teacher who knows what he does and knows what he teaches. And now, after few lessons, I can witness the difference. My daughter has just got much better results in her written essays at school, and has just received her English teacher's congratulations. So, a thousand thanks for your help and patience!

Sarah is an amazing teacher. She really tailors her lessons to each student’s needs and goals, with care and great quality. Her artistic background makes the classes fun and creative. I totally recommend her to anyone who wants to improve and feel more confident with the language. It was so worth it!
