English Language and Literature Classes for Analytical and Creative Work.

From 24 £ /h

If you’re struggling with English lessons in terms of writing both creatively or analytically as well as struggling with English literature studies I am happy to help not just with current assignments but also teaching you the necessary skillset to then go on and be more confident in doing it on your own.
As a student from the high school international baccalaureate diploma who studied Higher Level English A: Language and Literature as one of my courses, I have a lot of experience working analytically with texts both textual and visual. I have also developed various essay writing, presentation and work management skills and am happy to help in any way I can!
English is such an interesting subject not just in terms of the analytical side but also the creative writing where I have often worked in thanks to my love for story telling and my current studies in film production.

About Me

Hi there!
My name is Alexandro and I’m an international student currently studying at university in the UK. I was born in France but have lived most of my life in the small country known as Luxembourg and decided to come to the UK in order to pursue further studies as well as a career in the film production industry!
In Luxembourg I studied through the International Baccalaureate diploma in high school which is a very high level and difficult course built of 6 classes that sometimes reach into university level as well as three core subjects: Theory of Knowledge, CAS and the Extended Essay which is a mini 4000 word research paper. The 6 courses I studied were as follow:
- Higher Level English A: Language and Literature
- Higher Level Film
- Higher Level Business and Management
- Standard Level French A: Language and Literature
- Standard Level Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches
- Standard Level Physics

Due to the level of work demanded from the IB diploma I have also had to learn many skills related to work management, presentation and essay writing with research.

I hope to help any students of mine to the best of my capabilities with the skills I have learned!

Learn Celluloid (physical film) photography, development and printing from home in just 3 lessons!

26 £ /h

Have you ever been interested in celluloid/film photography instead of today’s standard digital photography? Many people simply buy disposable camera’s and have them developed by someone else but this can lead to a lot of waste from the thrown camera’s as well as a lot more money being spent. This class will teach you the fundamentals of celluloid photography and how to develop and print said photography on your own!

Disclaimer: This class will focus primarily on black and white celluloid instead of color.

I am a native English speaker - Tefl qualified - and experience as a language assistant. I am happy to help with any areas of the English language you need help with, whether this is just language practise, talking or vocabulary and even English for business.

I am a fully qualified teacher with twenty-three years' experience of KS3, GCSE and A-Level with many different exam boards, both UK and international. I am a former Head of Department and have taught in three prestigious independent schools in the UK. My style is highly effective and will not only rapidly improve your confidence to speak, listen, read and write but will give you a solid foundation of grammar on which to build, rather than just teaching you banks of vocabulary to memorise. My lessons are fun, engaging and interactive and I make all my own resources, which I tailor to suit the needs and interests of my individual students. Whatever your reason for learning French or German, exam help, test revision, ravel or just for the fun of it, I can tailor something for you. I recently realised, when my school moved to full-time online teaching via MS Teams, that students can get just as much out of online tuition as they can in a classroom, if not more! As a native speaker of English who learned languages in a classroom, I know first-hand the challenges you are facing but it needn't be difficult! Whether you are in need of a single lesson or an entire course, I am sure we can work something out. I can also offer tuition in English (from any age to GCSE) and Common Entrance Exam Preparation. Happy to teach online or in person and can host, too. I look forward to hearing from you. Duncan

English is the lingua franca. The principal way to master it is to practice, because as the adage goes, 'practice makes perfect.' However, unlike the saying, there is no single model for English. There is Business English, Academic English, informal English and conversational English. The list goes on. This diversity means that understanding the nuances of English can be challenging.
That's where I come in. I am an adaptive English teacher with three years of teaching experience and five years of academic editing experience. I have taught children as young as two and adult learners up to 80. While this broad range requires different approaches, they all have one thing in common: COMMUNICATION. Be it reading, writing, listening or speaking, I will provide you with an authentic communicative practice adapted to each student's needs.

I have experience in the following areas:
Business English including C.V., cover letters and workplace communication;
Proofreading and copyediting high school, college and university papers;
Pre-sessional English for academic tutoring (tertiary) for various subjects, including M.A. Supply Chain Management, B.A. Teaching, B.A. Nursing, B.A. Graphic Design etc.;
Sessional academic tutoring;
IELT’s/ TOEIC/TOEFL tutoring;
English with young learners;

Moreover, if you are unsure where to start or require ongoing assistance with writing, I can provide you with a truly personalised approach to writing as we can assist you from the start!
