11+ Verbal Reasoning: Synonyms and Antonyms for Vocabulary Victory!

From 42 £ /h

For both the 11+ and 13+ exams in England, synonyms and antonyms are a key way in which your child will show their ability in the verbal reasoning paper. Following the content of Christine Draper's C.E.M. content book (in blue), I conduct a course between 5-15 sessions grouping these words into easy-to-remember themes.
You'll study word groups such as descriptors, movement, weather and more. These classes lay a particular emphasis on the practical and creative use of vocabulary because what's the point of learning words if you don't know how to use them in an interesting way!
We will practice creative writing, fun crosswords and more, as well as looking at the set question types in the 11+exams.

GSCE and A-Level English Literature Preparation: for ages 11-18

42 £ /h

In these classes we will study one or more GCSE/A-Level texts in detail. Over a two-week period we will look at the themes, context, characters and criticism of a GCSE/A-Level text and work on how these parts of a piece of literature can be brought together for an examination answer.
The text(s) studied can be what you are going to be examined on, as a refresher or extra revision help. The text(s) could also be other pieces of literature on your exam board that you aren't going to study, as a way to expand your reading and become familiar with GCSE/A-level texts. Either way, we will practice thinking and writing critically so that you can blow the examiners away for your examinations.

Grow your Confidence: Creative Writing for School Students (KS1-KS4)

42 £ /h

Creative writing can be a difficult skill for some people to learn, but these lessons will help your child grow to love the process behind coming up with an exciting piece of creative writing.
These lessons focus on the school curriculum, drawing from often studied literary genres and coming up with creative responses to them. We might write in the gothic style, maybe a short mystery or even some travel writing! You will learn to expand your descriptive vocabulary and the building blocks which come together to form any good story.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
