About Me
All my students have, under my teaching, experienced drastic leaps in their academic results within a span of only a few months -- all of them clinching distinctions for their national exams (when most of them had at first been failing).My strength as a teacher has always been developing strong bonds with my students, and taking the time to understand their individual struggles and needs. I understand what it's like to not 'get' a subject and it is a genuine joy for me to help students overcome that!

French classes - from beginners to uni (proofreading if needed)French studies classes – Linguistics, History, Literature, Civilisation – Proofreading possible, available for students with specific needs
Bonjour, I’m a native French student in English studies and I have been a tutor for four years now, to students from the age of 9 to 18 with various learning profiles (dyspraxia, autism, dyslexia).
As a future teacher, the most important thing for me is to learn how to adapt to the students needs and ways of learning. There is no one perfect way to learn a language, and my goal is to help you or your child to find out more about yourself/themself and how your/their brain works ! Always searching for innovative ways of teaching, I will provide a personalised service to help you master French !
I accept beginners as advanced students in French studies who need tutoring or help on their essays.
I had my French baccalaureat in Economics with honours. I am fluent in English and has the IELTS certificate at 8 level.
If you need more details or want to discuss a specific situation, feel free to contact me ! Belle journée à vous ! :)

French, German, English and history courses!With a Master's degree in Literature, I am a specialist in French literature and I can give a taste for the language of Molière by adapting to the learner's level. I offer personalized support to discover the secrets of a beautiful dissertation, the analysis of literary and historical texts but also all the practical aspects of the language (conjugation, grammar, spelling, etc.) with patience and kindness.
Reuben
German language (or literature) lessons (beginner, intermediate and advanced) from native speakerThis class is for anyone who wishes to learn German from someone with native level skills. Whether it is to learn the basics as a beginner or to hone essay-writing skills. Can comfortably adapt to any curriculum (IB, A-Level, GCSE).
Alternatively, if desired, I can help develop more analytical literary skills and give guidance on how to study German Literature.
In both cases, I prioritise verbal dialogue as well as writing tasks, particularly for more advanced levels.
I am very flexible when it comes to the structure of lessons/their intensity and feel it is usually best to discuss this on an individual basis.
Luciano
Qualified Italian student giving Latin and Ancient Greek lessons in Edinburgh.I am studying Social Anthropology and Politics at the University of Edinburgh. Classics are one of the biggest interests of mine; I started studying Latin and Ancient Greek languages and literature 6 years ago and I have been teaching for three years. I think studying these languages led me to be more aware of who I am as well as understand what is really worth.
Latin (Ancient greek too) lessons consist of two different parts: grammar and literature.
By studying grammar you are not going to just receive boring notions about the structure of the language, but you are going to deepen processes and rules that form Latin; with this method we are going to discuss about Latin and Greek mindset and then discuss about important themes studied by ancient people in literature. Furthermore, according to your needs and goals, we can exercise on translation of texts.

Workshop on Latin American Literature: A tour of the literary expressions that make noiseThe course aims to provide an insight into the most widely read texts of contemporary Latin American literature, improve the communication skills of those interested and broaden the cultural horizons of participants.
A program of more or less canonical literature is proposed at first, followed by readings proposed by those interested: We will cover the works of Cortázar; Juan Rulfo; García Márquez; Borges; Cercas; Grandes; García Montero; Zambra; Dalton; Junot Díaz.
The course is held in Spanish but presentations can be made in English or Italian.
The schedule can be agreed.
I hope you like it!

I will teach you Arabic, or darija, to discover new worldIn this course, you will embark on a linguistic journey to learn Arabic, one of the world’s oldest and most widely spoken languages, or Darija, a dialect of Arabic spoken in Morocco. Whether you’re a beginner or have some knowledge of Arabic, this course will cater to your needs and pace.
The course will cover the basics of Arabic or Darija, including the alphabet, vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. You will learn through a variety of interactive methods such as dialogues, exercises, and cultural immersion.
But this course is not just about language learning. It’s about discovering a new world. As you learn Arabic or Darija, you will also explore the rich history, culture, and traditions of the Arab world. This cultural understanding will enrich your language learning experience and give you a deeper appreciation of the Arabic-speaking world.
By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in Arabic or Darija and a greater understanding of the cultures where these languages are spoken. You will be able to communicate effectively in a variety of situations, opening up a new world of opportunities for travel, work, or personal enrichment.

French lessons - learn the basics, strengthen the basics, take an interest in French literatureHello,
I am French and I am a French teacher in a school in Cairo. I like to teach French and want to give my time at a low price for those who wish to learn French and its literature.
I have a BAC in France with a specialty in literature and philosophy. Law studies therefore finished a good writing skill.

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research
The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.
For help with writing:
The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.
For analyzes of oral literary texts:
In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.
For the corrections of end of studies work:
so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.
Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.
For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.
For adults (FLE):
In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).
The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.
Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.
Pedro
38-year-old PhD student offers classes and tutoring at secondary and university levels for any area of HumanitiesI have taken a few years off to complete my PhD in History and I would not like to stop teaching and learning in the meantime. I guess it is a cliché, but it is amazing what I have learned by teaching. If anything can distinguish me, it is that my personal experience has shown me that, when it comes to learning, complexities such as age are simply that. Experience in national and international schools. Possibility of classes in English (C1).
Sasha
French for all level, including IB French with a native French speakerI am a native-speaking french teacher, who has achieved a high 6 in IB french A level, self-taught.
I believe in teaching french (and languages in general) through practice: we will speak french in every class while learning about grammar, and practising writing skills.
If you are an Ib student, I can help you prepare for your exams, IAs and IOs and achieve the best possible marks.
Having lived in France for a major part of my life, I gladly discuss french culture, history and literature with you if you are interested. I am all for making classes as enjoyable as possible !!!
A little more about me,
I have tutored a few students in French in the last few years, and I graduated from the IB in 2021 with 39 points in ETIS (ESPOO). I am to enter the University of Warwick in a Politics, Economics and Philosophy degree in the end of September.

Proofreading and correction of written work such as mature work, end-of-study dissertations, internship reportsI offer careful proofreading, both in terms of content and form, of written work such as internship reports, senior work, end-of-study dissertations, dissertations, comments or reading sheets.
I correct language errors: grammar, syntax, language register, spelling. I also suggest possibly bringing in other sources and rectifying the structure of the work if necessary.
Lou
Academic support - French lessons - English lessons - correction of literary preparatory class workComing from a literary background in French and English, I am available for tutoring in these subjects as well as for in-depth courses in applied literature. I am also present in support and correction for university students or literary preparatory classes (hypokhâgne / khâgne) who would need support for written work. And finally, I can also help you with the basics of spelling, grammar, or vocabulary!
Depending on the aspect that interests you the most, we will set the course schedules together :)
