I am offering 60 minute 1:1 tutoring on National 5 and Higher Modern Studies and History. My method of teaching is to use self-made powerpoint presentations on particular topics, as well as going over and discussing past papers from previously years whilst covering how and why marks were awarded for each answer under the marking scheme provided by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). My preferred method of study is to do so creatively, I enjoy making mind maps and writing practice essays as this is what has worked best for me over time. I aim to establish the best possible teaching method for each individual student and to target this when tutoring. I will also create personalised learning tools to help aid each students needs for their study- this includes power points and follow-up notes after each tutoring session to help jog the students memory and further improve their understanding of the topic covered. I am a hard-working, considerate, and creative individual with a passion for political science and would like to share this with younger students. I enjoy finding new methods of study through experimenting with different techniques- many of which have helped enhance my memory/retention skills in exams setting and subsequently improved my grades across the board. I have experience working with vulnerable individuals such as those with Aspergers Syndrome and Downs Syndrome as well as having a sibling with Autism, and so I'm able to take on board the different challenges faced by those in my community and help to encourage them to reach their full potential. I have great patience and understand that every person comprehends information at a different rate.

Overview: I offer bespoke tutoring services to school pupils and individuals studying History, Politics, and English. With a background in History and experience in the teaching and media sectors, I provide a professional, insightful, and comprehensive service aimed at improving a client's understanding of a topic, their confidence within it, and targeting specific issues and skills as required. I also provide advice on university selection and applications, building on experience as an applicant myself and coach for successful applicants to highly selective universities (including Oxford, St Andrews, and UCL). Teaching methodology: I believe that the best way to teach is to communicate, work out the student's needs with them, and proceed from there. We live in a diverse world, and it's important to reflect that diversity in teaching. I believe in using a variety of sources to help teach, ranging from films, to books, to music clips. This is particularly important in the context of clients with LS needs, as a focus on one kind of source can impact the pupil's experience,and hinder their success. My lessons are based on a core Learning Objective, changing from lesson to lesson with the curriculum. Around that, there will be a series of case studies, examples, and anecdotes, with personalised support for exam answers if required. Half the battle with the humanities is ensuring that good ideas are communicated well- I seek to teach history and support the development of those communication skills to ensure that the pupil's ability is reflected.

Trusted teacher: You want to know a little more about your family history, but you don't know where to start? Your great aunt (or your grandfather perhaps) provided you with information about this famous noble ancestor from whom the family is said to descend and you would like to know a little more about this illustrious character about whom you have been told to confirm these statements? Or, you simply have no reliable information on your ancestors beyond your grandparents and you would be interested in being able to name your great-grandparents, find out where they lived, what jobs they did, or perhaps even know their favorite hobbies (we can indeed discover a lot of information about our ancestors thanks to a little more in-depth research). It is also possible that you find yourself at an impasse in your research and that you would appreciate the help of an outside person: when you are very involved in your genealogy, it is sometimes useful to have a neutral person who can help us. helps with the necessary perspective to see things more clearly and unblock a complicated situation. In this course, I offer you an immersion in your family history which will allow you to know your ancestors better, but also to know yourself better. “When you do not know where you are going, look where you come from” (Proverb African). During our meetings, we will work on the necessary and essential steps to discover your family roots and create, little by little, an exciting and fascinating family tree that you will be proud to present to your family and friends! It has been more than 25 years since I first became interested in the history of my family, because I had heard (as is often the case) a somewhat “fantastic” anecdote about a famous ancestor! Asked by a relative, I planned to verify this information. And this is how my passion for this discipline was born, which I practice on a daily basis personally, or to help clients better organize their research and go from surprise to surprise! It was during the 2020 confinement that I undertook graduate training in genealogy. Of Irish-USA-Canada and Swiss origins, my two main working languages are English and French. I also offer my services if you wish to entrust me with the creation and presentation of your family tree. Do not hesitate to let me know during our first contact!

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo (Newport)
Phillip
It is always a pleasure to meet Phil for our weekly online French classes. He is a patient and kind teacher and always full of energy for our class. Phil is interested in a wide range of topics, so we always have something to talk about based on an article he selected as 'homework'. What I really appreciate about his way of teaching is that he corrects me during our conversation without breaking the flow of our talk, so I can really feel my confidence in speaking French increasing each class. I woulf highly recommend Phil if you are looking for a French tutor :)
