Reading & Writing Tutoring for Kids and Adults of All Ages

From 20.11 £ /h

I will offer your child guided reading assistance. Guided Reading will help your child develop reading proficiency, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. We will be using digital short stories in this lesson. For adults, I can also assistance you with reading , grammar and writing. Essay writing, creative writing and blog writing.

Your child will be introduced to reading strategies: breaking words into parts, stretching sounds out, looking for smaller words within a word, finding the base word, adding ending and beginning sounds to help solve tricky words.
* You will be introduced to a new story. We will do a book walk. This happens before reading. We look at the book title, cover and pictures in the story and make predictions about what the book will be about.
* I will go over some of the challenging words that will be in the story to help make the text more familiar for you.
* I will model how to read a sentence with a challenging word from the story, using a reading strategy.
* Your child will take turns reading the story aloud, implementing reading strategies when needed with support from me.
* Your child will answer several comprehension questions. Please see the list of example questions. Each set of questions will be unique and based on the story.
* We will write a written response of a summary of the story. I will model writing, using paragraph formation. As a class we will write part of the summary together. I will then add some vocabulary words onto the screen to help students add some descriptive words to their writing. Students are then encouraged to add a couple more sentences on their own to the summary. Please have a piece of paper on hand for writing.
* After writing, we will work on vocabulary from the story that we have read through a digital game.

Improve your skills to better manage your written communication: your objectives in terms of written communication may be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to support you in better achieving them. So, how can we send a clear message, be impactful, create a difference and make an impact?

➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, written communication is an activity based on techniques, tools, a method and know-how, reflecting the author's involvement in his writing.

➤ Relevant and successful written communication must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Coherence between form and content.

➤ So, how can you convince and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your interlocutors relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of your message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques, taking care of both substance and form, all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are very specific techniques.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication.

➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of:
✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors
✓highlight your text and enhance it to arouse interest
✓create consistency between the message sent and the message received
✓adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language
✓use sentences, phrases and expressions to be precise, simple, effective & engaging
✓write proactively and express/transmit your ideas/message clearly
✓propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills
✓enhance your potential for expression and creativity
✓connect your communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) with the form of your expression
✓practical techniques to encourage reader engagement
✓Strengthen the structure of your communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell your ideas and projects
✓better prepare your message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by adequately managing difficult situations
(...)

➤ In short, each session combines adapted techniques & practical exercises, so that you can put them into practice immediately, and from the first session.

THE TRAINER
➤ With training from Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher trainer has specialized and has worked for more than 18 years in the field, in Europe and North America, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and careful methodology as the watchwords.

This course is for you if you're tired of talking about your weekend, the weather, and the passage of time. You're dying to talk about serious topics (1), offbeat or satirical topics, with completely invented news (2), to listen to excerpts from podcast episodes (3) and to be able to understand the subtleties.

You want to understand and use the French that is really spoken and not the one that is taught to you in a textbook.

You want :
• use elaborate and varied connectors;
• develop elaborate arguments, illustrated by concrete examples;
• defend your point of view with spontaneity and precision;
• subtly indicate your agreement or disagreement;
• have a vast lexical repertoire allowing you to deal precisely with numerous current subjects;
• understand and use slang in appropriate contexts;
• understand and use idiomatic expressions.

In short, you are keen to improve your French (spoken and/or written, informal and/or informal), to develop your listening skills and to be able to interact with French speakers in all types of situations.

This is where it's happening!

Examples of media we will use:

1 “Understanding everything about the debate on anonymity on the Internet” – Les Échos
“With planes grounded, virtual tourism takes off” – BFM Business
“Space tourism: space is not a jungle” – Le Monde

2 “From 2026, Christmas will no longer be a holiday and the government will take 75% of your gifts” – Le Gorafi

3 “The secret of “coffee and cigarette”: a research avenue” – Radio France/France Info
“Behind the scenes of the influencer market” – TV5Monde
