World Literature and Poetry: learn how to understand classics and develop your mindset.
Have you ever experienced being confused about the classics? How do you react when people around you passionately discuss a book, a poem that you do not understand, that you do not feel, that you find nothing extraordinary in? Does it make you feel different and more precocious? If so, then the rest of the world must be seriously mistaken as it continues paying tribute to a "masterpiece". If not, then your way of reading and thinking must be a part of the problem.
And I can help you with this situation. Whether you do not read at all or read all the time and all the books, all the stories sound alike to you. I will refresh your vision and your perception. Letters, words, and sentences will awaken for you.
Literature is art where both the creator and the consumer are artists. Be brave to open your soul up to new thoughts and trust me to help you in this process.

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research
The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.
For help with writing:
The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.
For analyzes of oral literary texts:
In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.
For the corrections of end of studies work:
so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.
Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.
For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.
For adults (FLE):
In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).
The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.
Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Albanian classes for natives and foreigners of all agesLearning Albanian is a meaningful way to connect with a unique language, culture, and history.
For members of the diaspora born outside the country, speaking Albanian helps preserve cultural identity and strengthens ties with family, heritage, and community.
For tourists and international learners, knowing Albanian opens up a more authentic travel experience, allowing deeper conversations with locals, access to hidden gems, and a genuine appreciation of Albania’s rich landscapes and hospitality. As a language spoken across Albania, Kosovo, and parts of the Balkans, it also provides insight into a region full of diversity and history.
In this class we can learn basic Albanian words but also share insights of the Albanian culture and traditions.

French courses - language and literature - for secondary school students, literature students and adults (FLE)The courses are aimed at high school students, literature students, and adults learning French (FLE). Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.
As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.
More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.
It is about progressing realistically and at the learner's own pace, and developing methods that allow for long-term improvement.

Poetry & Creative Writing Classes with LouisaWould you love to write, but don't know where to begin? Perhaps you're already writing or studying English/creative writing, and need a hand? Would you benefit from 1-1, tailored support?
I'm a writer and poet, and my experience of tutoring hundreds of people over the past couple of decades has taught me that anyone can write with the right tools, support and encouragement! We all have experiences we can draw on to express ourselves creatively through the written word. Children, young people, and those experiencing challenges often find writing particularly beneficial and enjoyable. I am here to help inspire new and emerging writers by guiding you through the basics of writing, facilitating a deepened enjoyment and understanding of the power of words, and, importantly, supporting you to have confidence in your unique voice.
These interactive, informal, and supportive online classes are aimed at students of any age (above 7 years) who wish to write poetry, short stories, or creative prose (such as life writing). This includes beginners who are keen to learn basic writing skills, and those with some experience wishing to develop their practice and learn more, including students of English and creative writing at school, college or outside of formal education. Although we will touch on key grammatical terms, the focus will be on your creative expression through the written word.
In these classes, which will be tailored according to age, experience, needs, and areas of interest, students will learn the basics of writing short stories, including flash fiction; poetry, including free verse and traditional forms such as Haiku and sonnets; and creative prose, including life writing or short creative essays. You can attend as many classes as you like, and together, we will build your skills and understanding of creative writing, including identifying the stories you want to tell. The classes will be a mix of presentation, 'warm-up' writing activities, discussion, reading and analysing key texts, main writing activities, and redrafting, editing and proof-reading your work.
For those wishing to get published, there will be additional optional support available, such as detailed editing and mentoring advice, as well as hints and tips on developing as a writer.
Bring what you need to me, and we will shape the classes together!
I hold a recent DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, and parents or guardians of students under 18 years of age are welcome to meet the tutor first, and/or sit in on the classes. I look forward to hearing from you!
