Giles was an absolute delight to work through my essay with and I passed too ☺️🙏
Good Lesson
Enjoyed introduction to poetry. Mr Goodlands knows how to engage a novice taking them step by step into the subject.
I will give one-to-one tuition on academic writing, helping students and writers to bring their pieces to a high standard: appropriate for personal statements, coursework essays, dissertations, and exam preparation. I will coach in syntax, vocabulary, paragraphs and structure.
People often do not know where to start with poetry, and the books give contradictory advice. I am a widely published poet and experienced and knowledgeable teacher, able to give advice, exercises, constructive feedback, and engaged classes with a no-nonsense approach to what works in a poem, and how to structure and revise effectively.
I am a widely published poet and experienced and knowledgeable teacher willing to give poetry classes at any level, whether you are struggling to write your first poem or are assembling a first collection. My approach is constructive, friendly and approachable. I listen to the needs of my students in our first lesson, and will propose a plan of lessons based on what you hope to achieve. This may include setting prompts, tasks, and exercises, going through your writing, suggesting extra reading, and giving constructive feedback.

Basic maths , chemistry ,english for school going students.
Mathematics explores the language of numbers, shapes, and patterns, teaching problem-solving skills and logical reasoning. Students delve into algebra, calculus, geometry, and statistics, mastering techniques to tackle real-world challenges. Chemistry investigates the composition, properties, and transformations of matter, unraveling the mysteries of atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions. Through experiments and theory, students understand chemical principles, bonding, and the periodic table, applying knowledge in fields like medicine and environmental science. English language and literature classes foster communication proficiency and critical thinking. Students analyze literature to discern themes, characters, and literary devices, while honing grammar and vocabulary for effective expression. They refine reading, writing, and speaking skills, preparing to communicate fluently and persuasively in written and spoken English contexts. Together, these subjects empower students with essential knowledge and skills to navigate and contribute to an increasingly complex world. You will learn basic learning skills and have a good understanding

Sachin
Chemistry (in English) for High School and College Students
With over 12 years of experience in chemistry, I am currently a final year Ph.D. student at Charles University in Prague and doing research at Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry at Czech Academy of Sciences. As a part of this course, I take responsibility to make sure that the most elemental form of chemistry is understood by the student in the easiest way using examples from daily life. Chemistry is all around us. We as part of nature are made of chemicals in one form or other. Therefore, none of us can live without a knowledge in Chemistry. Since everything happening around us in the universe is because of one or the other form of a chemical reaction (slow or fast), the reason behind them are to be truly revealed before understanding what is happening e.g. in our kitchen while cooking food or while drinking cola or juice.
