GCSE/A Level/IB English Language and Literature tutoring

From 15 £ /h

My classes will be based on exam and course preparation; which includes GCSE, A levels, and IB. Since my expertise is in English Literature, I will be teaching English Language and/or Literature. I can help guide students in understanding how to approach a literary text and most importantly, teaching them critical thinking. I have access to various academic sources such as JSTOR and Google Scholar. I also have subscriptions to various sites such as LitCharts, which is incredibly useful for English Literature courses. I also have copies of my previous essays from my high school days, which will be helpful in using it as an example of how to write an essay. I don't believe that there is one way of writing an essay - and I don't want students to just improve by copying - but having a sample essay can be useful to break down why it received good grades and analyse what made it work.

Having completed various exams when I did my GCSEs and IB, I've also become accustomed to taking exams and I understand that doing well on exams is just a matter of practice. Through my classes, I can teach students how to approach various exams, including: how to break down questions, how to structure your time, and how to plan essays during an exam.

About Me

I am an English Literature graduate from King's College London. Prior to university, I also did English Language and Literature Higher Level in IB and English Language and Literature GCSE. I got a 7 in my English IB finals (translates to A* in A levels) and an A* in GCSE. Although I did IB, I am also familiar and am an expertise in English Language/Literature A levels, since the topics and marking are similar.

I've always loved reading since I was a kid, and surprisingly, my passion for reading and literature has only increased throughout the years and after studying it in an academic level. Being able to analyse and understand the context behind the literary works that I read have just expanded my knowledge of them, and thus, my enjoyment of them.

I have a background in teaching and tutoring. In high school, I volunteered as an English tutor for underprivileged children in Indonesia. I also volunteered as a tutor in a non profit charity organisation - called KNS - last summer. Both of these experiences were so healing and inspiring, and I tried very hard to make the classes as interactive and interesting as possible, and I will do the same with my tutoring classes!

I am a tutor of Italian and English as a foreign/second language. I had the opportunity to teach in different contexts with multicultural groups of students from many countries and backgrounds. I am currently teaching Italian to individual students and corporate clients with different language requirements and purposes. I have also conducted a preparation course for Italian GCSE and A level exams in London.

I teach to all levels and ages using a communicative and student-centred approach. My lessons are very interactive and focused on real life and cultural situations.
I care about my students’ learning progress and achievements and I am keen to guide them in a friendly, dedicated and respectful manner. Moreover, one of my main goals as a teacher is to enable my students to enjoy the experience of communicating, thinking and reacting in a foreign language.

I love the French language and pass this on to my students when I teach. Lots of speaking, listening to everyday conversations in various contexts, French songs, practising grammar and new vocabulary. Suitable for school children or adults.
English as a second language is another speciality of mine. I make my lessons interesting and fun. Speaking is the most important part but also writing notes as it is easier to remember afterwards. Listening to conversations and answering questions on them afterwards, while always checking grammar. I can guarantee fast progress.

Hello! My name is Abdrahman, from Nigeria. I have studied Arabic language (including reading, writing, listening and speaking skills). I also studied Quran & it's sciences, Tajweed, and other Islamic studies for more than fourteen years.

I have studied Arabic from the International Open University and Arabic Institute.

Currently, I'm also an Undergraduate student of Islamic Studies Education in the University of Lagos, Akoka. I also study under the tutelage of Sheikh Raslān from Egypt.

I am a tutor of modern standard Arabic, classical Arabic (the language of Quran and Hadith) and colloquial Arabic ('āmiyyah).

I love teaching Arabic because it is a very important language of Islam. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W said we should love Arabic language because: he is an Arabic, the holy Quran is in Arabic language and the language of the paradise dwellers is Arabic.

I also love teaching Arabic language because it is the fifth most spoken language in the world.

It is the official language of 26 countries including 5 of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's sixth most spoken language in the world.

Learning such a language will avail you to the discovery of most interesting cultures in today's world. It will also look good in your resume.

With Arabic language, you'll become a polyglot and you will be able to adapt to the environments of Arab. As a Muslim, with Arabic language, you'll have thorough understanding of Quran and Sunnah.

I have been tutoring Arabic and Islamic Studies since 2014 both online and offline till date. I tutor the learners between the ages of 5 - 80.

The focus of my instruction is on all the important skills of the language (reading, writing, listening and speaking), grammar and vocabulary development. With these, you'll be able to intermingle with Arabic speaking people in any Arab environment you find yourself and of course, you'll have yourself prepared and fit for any formal exam.

I am also certified to instruct in the memorization of Quran, the sciences of Quran like different versions of Quranic recitation (riwāyāt), the exegesis of Quran (tafsīr), e.t.c

I have syllabus and materials for tutoring Arabic efficiently within a period of six to twelve months.

I'm well experienced in tutoring with these books:

➡️ I love Arabic

➡️ Lessons in Arabic language

➡️ Nūrul bayān

➡️ Iqrā' qirā'tī

➡️ Qā'idāh Nūrāniyyah

➡️ Qā'idāh Makkiyyah

➡️ Qā'idāh Baghdādiyyah

➡️ Arabic in your hands

➡️ Tuhfatul Atfāl

➡️ Exegesis of Ibn Kathīr e.t.c

I also have experience in teaching English language and Philosophy.

Learning English language helps in developing ideas and communicating them.

I would be glad to be your tutor in this journey, choose me and you will not regret it.

See you in my class!

I have 7 years of teaching experience. I'm a certified Arabic and English teacher. I have TESL and simplified Arabic certification. My teaching method is philosophical, experimental and persuasive. My teaching approach is simple to complex.
