History, Philosophy, Sociology, Classical Civilization

History, Philosophy, Sociology, Classical Civilization

I am a passionate History, Sociology and Philosophy teacher (both ancient and modern). Fluent in Italian, Spanish and English I have taught History and Sociology in Madrid, Barcelona, North Italy and London. I can also teach Politics. Outside of the classroom, I have written and directed school plays, organized the school journals and the olympic games of philosophy. My students are of differing ages and stages of proficiency, so I have plenty of experience teaching at all levels. I consider myself a friendly and patient teacher, concerned above all else with the all round development of my students' capacity for comprehensive thought. I have a strong belief in the unification of knowledge and am always striving to incorporate seemingly disparate branches of learning into a broader horizon in order to provide my students with a sufficiently complete picture. Availability The length and frequency of sessions can be determined by the student's requirements and availability. The first lesson For any given first session I like to get to know the student, find out where they're at in their course of study, and see what their current working methods are like. Usually, talking about the current piece of homework, the next upcoming exam, or due assignment is a great way to gauge their requirements, assess where my help is most needed, and thus collaboratively devise a joint programme of work. My teaching method 
I bring a broad-based interdisciplinary knowledge to a range of subjects. This allows the opportunity to consider new ideas and to place different perspectives in conversation with each other, which is an instrumental skill for improving academic writing. A lesson with me will be interactive and lucid. I am adaptable as all students are different, so I will constantly monitor and remain attentive to our learning objectives.
 
My teaching methods vary, but as a rule I start with an in depth account of the subject, taking care to ground it contextually, and then proceed to a discussion of the main points. Whether the lessons take more of a dialogical form or the more typical lecture type format depends on the needs and preferences of the student. The lessons will be focused on studying techniques, written exercises with supervision and recalling techniques. We will work not just to close any gaps but also help the student in learning how to optimize private study. For students who need to get up to speed with content, I can offer sessions where I present you with ideas and new ways of understanding the topic. I approach each topic according to the immediate and long-range needs of the student, whether they require help in comprehending their topic, in preparing for exams, or in planning, executing, and proofing written work. Depending on the desire and temperament of the student, I can gear my lessons either towards cramming and exam survival or towards the nurturing of lifelong learning. My general policy is also to be flexible with what the student needs of me. For example, my payment is for the hour, however I am happy to look over work and send comments. My fee is not just one hour as I work with the student in all aspects of their learning via e-mails outside the lessons. Pushing forward If you're enthralled by your subject and wish to pursue it further, beyond the bounds of learning outcomes and assessment, then I can cultivate that passion in you. If you want to improve your critical or creative writing, I can help you articulate your vision and present it according to high standards; along the way I will instill good practices that will help you in any such task.

Maths lessons covering all levels and all fields. English/Spanish

Maths lessons covering all levels and all fields. English/Spanish

Hi everyone! My name is Inés, I am 22 years old girl form Spain. I have studied a Degree in Mathematics in my country where I had the opportunity to specialise myself in Pure Mathematics, more concretely in Algebraic Geometry which is the field of my thesis. During those years apart from researching and studying hard to get outstanding marks I worked as tutor specially with undergraduate mathematics, physics and engineering students as well as last year of high school students focused on passing “PAU” the Spanish exam to access to university. I have worked with a really wide range of students, boys and girls who just wanted to get the best grades, others with no interest to do anything and of course with lot of students who hated maths. Eventually we always fulfilled together our goal and on many occasions I know that apart from that I was key to make some of them start liking maths. Mathematics is my passion and I always try to transmit it along with all the interesting things which surrounded this beautiful science. Proudly, today I can say that some of my “worst” students at the beginning, those who didn’t want to listen anything about math are currently studying university degrees such as engineering and they enjoy math as I do. With all this I just want to say that no one is more or less capable of doing maths, students need something which motivate them, specially with abstract stuff, that is why my method consists of showing real applications, answer why we have to learn this and that, why is important..

Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science Private tutor - English or French - At home or via Webcam

Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science Private tutor - English or French - At home or via Webcam

Hi, My name is Andreï, and after two years at the engineering school Centrale Paris and a gap year in quantitative finance, I’ll be starting a Master’s in Mathematics at Imperial College London in September. Alongside my studies, I offer private tutoring in maths, physics, and computer science. With a strong academic background and a genuine passion for these subjects, I have helped students from secondary school to university over the past three years build both skills and confidence—whether their goal is to strengthen their intuition when it comes to problem solving, improve exam performance, or prepare for competitive entrance tests. My approach to teaching is both structured and flexible. I adapt each lesson to the student’s individual needs: reviewing fundamental concepts, addressing specific difficulties, and preparing efficiently for assessments or exams. Beyond problem-solving, I aim to provide students with lasting tools—methods of reasoning, strategies for independent learning, and a clearer sense of confidence when approaching new challenges. I would be delighted to arrange an initial conversation to better understand your goals and how I could help you achieve them. Please feel free to contact me for further information. Best regards, Andreï

English Literature/Language or English as a Second Language

English Literature/Language or English as a Second Language

Dependant on what you are looking for, I can prepare you for an English Literature exam, help you improve your work for school, or improve English as your non-native language. Since October 2021, I have been an EAL teacher and HLTA at a secondary school in Camden. I have been teaching English to classes of Refugees from Afghanistan and working with children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. I love being able to take someone with limited knowledge of English and growing their understanding of the language. I am a recent graduate from the University of Birmingham where I gained a 2:1 in Drama and English Literature, and I have recently completed a Diploma in Musical Theatre at Associated Studios in London. Since April 2020, I have been teaching English as a Second Language online with Educasteam. This job involves tutoring French speaking adults and children, and ensuring they learn English to a high standard in a positive and encouraging environment. I am TEFL certified. I am passionate about reading, and would be able to effectively take a student from basic English knowledge to being more confident in their ability to understand a text. I am passionate about students being able to learn in a supportive and productive environment. I am also interested in the students, and understand the necessity to always put them first.

Violin, Piano and music theory lessons for all abilities!

Violin, Piano and music theory lessons for all abilities!

I have been playing the violin and piano for over 20 years now, graduating in 2015 from the Royal College of Music with a first-class bachelor's degree in violin performance, and have recently started an Advanced Diploma in Performance at the Royal Academy of Music. I have performed extensively all over the UK as a soloist, most notably as a strings finalist on BBC young musician of the year, and at the Battle Proms concert series to audiences of up to 12,000. I've also delved into the Folk world a little and was on tv for the BBC Radio 2 folk awards as part of Jim Moray's band! I started officially teaching at 17, coaching local teachers more advanced students. From there I became Professor Berent Korfker's private assistant at 18, teaching his younger students from the Purcell School and alike. Being able to work with such talented students was extremely inspiring and excited me to start my own class with complete beginners on both violin and piano. I now have a hugely mixed class in both ability and age (4 to over 50!) with a 100% pass rate in their exams. My approach has always depended on the student's age, ability, and character. For younger students, I incorporate games, with them often wondering how the lessons finished so quickly! I like to create a fun environment for musical development where questions are encouraged, and all students are taught how to teach themselves and apply techniques learned in the lesson to the practice room.
