English Tutoring, Understanding and Study Assistance

From 21 £ /h

English can be a difficult subject for many people. I aim to help students understand their material and learn the basics of English essay writing and assessments.

I will cover methods of study, ways to approach their coursework, as well as providing structures and notes that can be referred back to.

Extra information

I recommend students bring a laptop or notebook (if in the case of a notebook I recommend bringing a fresh one) as well as their English class-work.

About Me

My name is Everitt Adair, I am currently studying BA English at Edinburgh Napier University.

English is and always will be one of my greatest passions, whether it be creative or critical in nature. I've consistently run English-based groups specialising in creative writing.

I also have experience working with children and teens in high school when I volunteered in my school's Additional Support Needs department, helping the students there with reading comprehension and information retention.

I also briefly did work helping the first-years with their transitions into high school as well as tutoring my younger siblings.

When tutoring I like to focus on understanding above all else as that is generally what most students struggle with. I do this by using the first aspect of the session learning about the student's issues and needs in regards to the content they are learning.

In my experience, many students struggle with RUAE (Reading, Understanding, Analysis and Evaluation), so I will briefly cover the different question types and how to approach them. I will also cover the set-text essay though that may require more than one session so that I can read the text myself and come up with an approach to the essay.

I will try and help with the Portfolio writing (i.e. Creative, Persuasive, Personal...) as well by helping to workshop ideas and helping the students grow more confident in their writing.

I recommend students have Grammarly installed on their laptop prior to sessions, if they're using a laptop.

English and modern are very useful subjects to have on the outside world, that’s why i am here to guide students through them.
English Language is an important foundation for many of the courses you may take in employment or further education, and a requirement for many university courses. It is a core subject, which helps you to develop your powers of self-expression and improve your reading and writing.

There are many skills and strategies that you may use in IELTS test which is the most important language test to the university degree. A number of students find this test hard especially in writing and speaking sessions. However, if you prepare the test in a systematic way, you will feel much easier than before.

After the courses, you will grasp important grammar knowledges which need to be used in writing and speaking parts and which help you with comprehend listening and reading materials. What's more, you will acquire several essential words that can be used to replace your simple words in the real test.
