English, History, Politics and Personal Statement Tutoring

From 24.1 £ /h

I am offering tutoring for subjects such as English, History and Politics with a particular emphasis on essays, applications and drafting skills.

Formulating a written argument that is both succinct and coherent is a crucial skill for any discipline but it is especially useful for subjects such as english, history and politics. I believe that anybody is capable of writing well and my classes are designed to improve a student's structure, vocabulary and syntax. The class is designed for a broad range of students who may be looking for help on a particular project, application or simply want to improve their writing skills.

My classes are not overly prescriptive and I am willing to adapt my teaching methods to a student's particular needs and objectives. Ultimately, my aim is for students to develop their writing skills and become stronger communicators.

About Me

I am half Irish, half Spanish and I am currently living in Brussels. I have recently finished my studies and I will be working as a trainee lawyer in London as of February 2021. I have decided to provide tutoring services in the interim because it is something I have genuinely enjoyed in the past and I believe that I can help students across a range of subjects.

Although I can provide help across a range of subjects, I am particularly focused on drafting skills and writing. I believe these skills are invaluable and critical to achieving academic success as well as job/university applications.

In terms of my own background, I completed the IB Diploma at an international school in Belgium followed by a BA in History and Politics at the University of Exeter. I later decided to pursue a career in Law and completed the Graduate Diploma in Law. This was followed by a year of working at a law firm in London after which I completed the Legal Practice Course. My academic career has exposed me to a wide range of teaching methods and allowed me to develop key skills that I am looking to pass onto students.

I do not believe in being overly prescriptive with my lessons and I base my classes on a student's particular needs or objectives. My broad objective is to provide students with transferrable skills that they can use across various subjects and applications.

It is a course that must allow the student to strengthen his achievements while being able to see progress. I will basically rely on the student's course, to better adjust to his level. It is important that the student become aware of where his difficulties are so that he can later correct himself, that he aims for autonomy.

I have the necessary pedagogical skills to help raise the knowledge of others to a higher level and to fill certain gaps.
This can be for tutoring / explaining Geography and other Sciences to pupils / pupils to Dutch language lessons for adults and (extra) lessons in other languages for pupils and pupils in function of improving their language skills.

This English language and conversation reinforcement course is designed for people who want to improve their understanding of the English language, focusing primarily on conversation and speaking fluency. Having lived and studied abroad, I managed to acquire an excellent command of the English language as well as a deep understanding of its culture.

The course focuses on listening, comprehension and oral expression. Students will have the opportunity to practice their English through face-to-face conversations, as well as pronunciation, reading and writing exercises. We will discuss during your first lesson to cook up a personalized approach to suit your individual needs while focusing on areas that need improvement.

In addition to this, the course also offers insight into English culture and culture, through videos, films and podcasts, which will help you understand the language better and communicate more effectively in different cultural contexts. The main objective of the course is to allow you to become more comfortable speaking and to better understand the nuances of the English language!

This course is ideal for people who want to improve their English for personal or professional reasons. With this course, I am positive that you will manage to develop your fluency in English and communicate more effectively in professional or social contexts.
