History, Political Science, Essay writing, Test Prep Tutoring

Having worked in an alternative school, my approach is very much based on the understanding and ways of learning of each student. Rather than imposing a specific method on the student I try and understand how they work, how they understand the subject and what the university or school requires of them, and help them improve in the areas needed.

I specialize in tutoring History and Political Science for school (iGCSE, A-LEVEL, IB) and university (Bachelors). I teach both content and form (essay writing and exam prep skills).

About Me

I am an open, multicultural person who thrives on social encounters and intellectual discussion. I was trained in an alternative pedagogical method which focuses on cultivating autonomy in the student in an environment free of fear. As such, trust and respect between the student and the teacher is of vital importance if learning is to occur.

Pierre is a great professional teacher who understands exactly my students needs and how to help me.
I needed help in writing my statement of purpose, I didn't even know where to start. He was very good at asking the right questions allowing me to put my thoughts in order to plan out how to begin writing. I highly recommend him as he knows very well what he's doing and has experience.

Instead of imposing a specific method on the student, I try to understand how they work, how they understand the subject and what the university or school requires of them, and help them improve in the necessary areas. I specialize in teaching History and Political Science for both school (iGCSE, A-Level, IB) and university (Bachelors). My teaching focuses on both content and form (essay writing and exam preparation skills).
I specialise in History A Level (Edexcel and AQA) and IB. I am an english native speaker with three years teaching experience in an alternative boarding school in Hampshire and work with a distinctive teaching style adapted to each student's needs and personality. Rather than trying to cram in a bunch of facts I approach history as a curiosity: what makes it interesting? why is it relevant to our lives today? Why, indeed, do they say that history always repeats itself - is it that we can never learn from the past? These are the kind of meta-questions that will run through our classes most of which will be discussion based and will include homework, short exercises, co-marking and assignment of additional readings to complement your syllabus.

Xavier
English teacher. All levels and ages. Like teaching while learning.
Experiència de més de 20 anys donant classes d'anglès i català a grups reduïts d'ESO i Batxillerat i classes de repàs en el sector de les Humanitats. Doy clases de inglés desde hace muchos años. He impartido a grupos reducidos y a particulares de repaso (ESO y Bachillerato). Me desplazo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad para todo el curso. Enseñar es mi vocación. Por las mañanas trabajo en una empresa de telemárketing en BCN en un ambiente multicultural donde el inglés es nuestra lengua vehicular y a partir de las 16h tengo disponibilidad. Actualmente soy profesor de inglés en la Academia English Studio, en Cornellà de Llobregat en turno de tardes. Todos los niveles y edades. Barajo la posibilidad de dedicarme a la docencia también en horario de mañana, siempre y cuando la oferta para este horario fuera de mi interés. En el turno de tarde soy autónomo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad en Academia o similar para todo el curso y en verano. My name is Xavier. I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grow up in this town, but now I live a bit far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not very far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I've been teaching Catalan, Spanish, Phillsofy, History and English for a long time...since I was 16. What happened? Very short, I promise: I was walking down the street two years ago, from just opposite this private school, and I thought myself: well, you might enter this place and see. I like English language very much... and the UK,... but I don' t have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom's wall. It was a sort of a blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, effectiveness. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks she was texting me for a class. Please, Xavier, can you cover for some classes? And here I am. English Studio, Academy of English in Barcelona, where I used to be a teacher until Covid 19 knocked at the door of our lives, and teachers and students had to be at home. Professional Objective: English teacher. Morning shift: Professional experience More than 15 years in several Contact Centers as an Agent or as a Team Leader or Supervisor. Companies: Teletech, Telefono Permanente, MST, Teleperformance and Promofon. As a Team Leader / Supervisor: more than three years in Teleperformance and Promofon, (ONO), making sure the group of Agents were appropriatly trained and equipped to resolve doubts, problems and change requests; makintg sure the team could respond effectively to Account Managers ` requests for further information and , when necessary, take proactive action to ensure they were aware of an issue. And last but not least, every day monitoring work, keeping an eye on the activity of premium learners, ensuring the team was taking the necessary proactive action, either by phone or email. I had to support very often other colleagues in accordance with business needs and to share ideas to improve business practices and the quality of the service. More than 20 years as an English teacher. Also, Spanish, Catalan an Humanities subjects. Qualifications: Universitat Central de Barcelona, Law Studies. Fluent English and intermediate level of French. Native level of Catalan and Spanish

Do you want to improve your English with a native speaker? . . . .
Hi, I'm a native English teacher with many years of experience teaching English to people like you. I come from a town in the North West of England and I'm passionate about helping people achieve their goals in English. I hold the CELTA certificate, a specific qualification for teaching English to foreigners. But even more important is my extensive experience with students of all levels and abilities. Motivation is key to learning a language, which is why I emphasize making my classes fun and interesting. I strive to help you achieve your goals, but remember that learning a language requires commitment and work. It is not easy, but with determination and the right guidance, it is possible. They can be taken anywhere in Barcelona or even online if you prefer. If you need to prepare for an official exam such as PET/FCE/CAE or IELTS, I can help you there too. I have plenty of teaching materials suitable for all levels, so you don't need to buy anything. I can provide you with tasks to practise grammar, reading, writing or listening. I hope to see you soon and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will try to resolve them as soon as possible. Thank you! See you soon!

Lucy
German Teacher from Native German - Master Student from Germany
...I could speak in 4 different languages with my room mate. Do I have your attention? :) I always like to joke and say that life is too short to learn German, but honestly it depends on the teacher you have and how much you enjoy the lessons! I think that as long as you feel good and motivated and have a person sitting next to you who says positive words to you, you can manage to expand your expertise in a short time With me, you have a friend with whom you can have a coffee or go to the beach in your free time. I am very open and communicative and want our lessons to be more than just dry theory. I bring my personality to the lessons so that it remains interesting and vibrant for both of us! We can meet in a Cafe / Restaurant in Barcelona, I am also open to online meetings. If you are interested in learning Chinese I can also help you! :)

Private English Lessons for All Age Groups/day-to-day or academic
I'm a psychologist and master's student at Barcelona University, Cognitive Science and Language program. Language learning is a different process for each person. I will plan a study program for this class individually for each student regarding their purpose. This program varies from day-to-day English to academic English. With sincere interaction, English can be very enjoyable for children, since I had an experience as a child psychologist. For high school students, I can prepare them for exams. For university students, I plan to carry the class with articles about their major, and also to improve day-to-day English.
