I offer French, Spanish, and English lessons for all levels. I help with interview preparation and university exams, as well as with lectures and oral and written exams. I assist with preparation for GCSE and A-level exams in French and Spanish, TOEFL and IELTS Academic or Life Skills tests, and I correct assignments at beginner and advanced levels. I offer academic support for children, including homework help, grammar, vocabulary, writing, composition, and conversation. The teaching methodology is tailored to each student's personality and needs.
If you've just moved to London and need some basic language skills to get by, I can help you too, even if you're traveling to a French or Spanish-speaking country.
If you're traveling and only need a few hours of lessons during your stay, then a conversation lesson while visiting London's museums or parks will be nice (let's check the weather first).

Course Description:
In this engaging and comprehensive tutoring course, students will embark on a journey through the captivating realms of English and literature. I will explore the fundamental aspects of language and delve into the intricate world of literary devices to foster a deep understanding and appreciation for these invaluable subjects.

Importance of English and Literature:
English and literature form the backbone of effective communication, critical thinking, and cultural understanding. Proficiency in these areas empowers individuals to articulate their ideas with clarity and eloquence, enhancing their professional and personal lives. Furthermore, literature provides a window into diverse cultures, historical periods, and human experiences, enabling me to empathize with others and expand my horizons.

Real-Life Applications and Value:
The skills acquired through this course will extend beyond the confines of the classroom, benefiting students in numerous aspects of their lives. Effective language usage is essential in all fields, from composing persuasive essays to delivering compelling speeches, and even communicating effectively in everyday conversations. The ability to analyze literary works enhances problem-solving skills and nurtures creativity, both of which are highly sought-after attributes in the professional world.

Course Approach:
I have designed this course to work from the very grassroots of English and literature, laying a solid foundation for students to build upon. I will start with fundamental concepts such as metaphors, similes, and personification, and gradually progress to more sophisticated literary devices such as imagery, alliteration, and foreshadowing. Each session will be interactive, encouraging students to actively participate in discussions and apply the concepts they learn.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, students will:

- Develop a profound understanding of English grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, enabling them to express themselves fluently and coherently.
- Recognize and employ various literary devices, enhancing their ability to analyze and interpret literature effectively.
- Cultivate critical thinking skills by engaging with diverse literary works and exploring different perspectives.
- Gain an appreciation for the power of language and its impact on communication and storytelling.
- Strengthen their writing skills and craft compelling narratives, essays, and creative pieces.
- Build confidence in their reading and interpretation abilities, empowering them to engage with complex texts.

Join me in this journey through the world of English and literature, where I will work with you to unlock the power of language and foster a lifelong love for the written word. Let's build a strong foundation that will serve as a solid platform for your academic excellence and personal growth.

As a recent graduate from a Master degree in teaching English, with 5 years of experience tutoring French children and students privately. During my two years of master, I taught English to secondary school students.
The theory and the practise, allowed me to develop my teaching skills and through tutoring I have learned to tailor my teaching methods to the student’s needs.
Moreover, throughout my years of tutoring, I could gave back the confidence that students were lacking in their education, which led to one of my students to obtain her “brevet” equivalent of the English GSCE with a high grade.
The success was hinged through the learning material that I created. Indeed, I produced my own lesson plans and I provided weekly progress homework.

These are personalised lessons, in either maths or English, created to do the following:

- Fill gaps in your child’s knowledge, that are preventing them from being assessed as meeting the age-related standard.

- Reinforce and cement knowledge learned in school by addressing misconceptions your child has about any topics.

- Build on existing learning and challenge your child with content that pushes them towards working at greater depth.

I have nine years experience working in schools, seven years of which have been as a qualified teacher - working across KS1 and KS2. Therefore, you can be confident that what your child is being taught is in line with the current curriculum.

NOTE: before the first lesson, it is important we arrange a brief call to discuss your child’s areas for development. As with any outstanding curriculum, we always begin by identifying specific gaps so subsequent lessons can be produced to close them.

I can travel a 5 mile radius from my location, anything outside would need to be held online.

Mathematics is not easy subject for all, nobody likes too much this subject but it is very keen in every student’s life specially for beginners.
I will help them to make it interesting and solve the problem ( story sums) Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication Which is very important for kids.
On the other hand English is our native language but we know that kids coming mostly all over the world in this country and they feel shy to speak and write. I will help them to learn with easy steps and make it more interesting.
