    I teach Academic Writing and edit your student assignments if needed

    English academic writing follows a number of specific rules. I teach the main structure that students should follow to succeed in writing essays and dissertations. Additionally, citation rules and practical skills will be discussed. I am also happy to assist with resume and cover letter writing in English.
    Moreover, I also offer copy editing of your assignments and help with related queries for an additional fee (depending on the length of the assignment).

    On my qualifications:
    I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science in 2019. Throughout my studies, I completed additional classes in Academic Writing and Copy Editing. I founded an association that taught Academic Writing classes to graduate students. Since 2012, I have edited numerous papers and dissertations of other students. I work as a researcher and lecturer at a university and as a fact-checker at a think tank. In terms of languages, my mother tongue is German, I completed all my studies in English (and lived in the US and the UK for a number of years) and work in French. I also speak some Swedish and Spanish if that helps you!

    Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.
    I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.

    ✅EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, EMPATHY, NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION (NVC), NEGOTIATION FOR RELATIONSHIPS & CONFLICT MANAGEMENT
    ➤ From NVC (Non Violent Communication) to pragmatic tools, empathy and emotional intelligence. From personal to professional. From theory to practice with simulations. It's about putting in place rational tools to defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / security zone. In particular simple techniques which make it possible to improve its intimate, personal, professional relations to even solve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and durable way. ➤ Indeed, the objective is to improve personal / professional communication & overcome any resulting conflicts. So how do you get a clear message across and make a difference? ➤ More precisely, the objectives are to: 0. Understand and identify the issues/risks then find a balance between empathy and conviction. 1. Use interpersonal communication techniques resulting from mediation to defuse tensions and gain distance. 2. Dissociate the relational and the nature of the disagreement - Overcome cognitive and psychological obstacles. 3. Acquire the techniques of self-defense and mastery without hurting and being hurt. 4. Face then defuse difficult behaviors (attempts at blackmail, threat, destabilization) or even dangerous with a mediation strategy. 5. Develop conflict management and negotiation skills, alternating attentive listening, active speaking and rationality in the face of the limited rationality of the angry individual. ➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, defusing conflicts, negotiating and speaking relevant and successful must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating an adequacy between the message received and the message sent. Consistency between form and substance. ➤ So, how to listen and be listened to, convince and be impactful, challenge and mark the spirits, enhance its content, address its audience effectively and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange / message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of verbal and non-verbal communication. ➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve self-confidence, self-confidence, but also to work on one's leadership & charisma. ➤ So, after having precisely defined your objective & gone through the blockages encountered, here are some examples of themes covered through concrete techniques & a methodology: ✓Tools and deployment of conflict management tools, including CNV. ✓Perfecting his rhetoric/repartee. ✓Fundamentals of Body Language to support and not interfere with the speech while being convinced & convincing, thus ensuring consistency between content & form. ✓Techniques to put your interlocutor at ease and appear friendly/interested. ✓To succeed in a negotiation/mediation. ✓To learn how to say 'no' in three steps AND get people to say 'yes'. ✓To turn sentences into positive AND constructive. ✓To put NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) at the service of non-violent communication. ✓To adopt an effective, simple language, just by engaging. ✓To use sentences, turns of phrase & expressions allowing to be precise, simple, effective & challenging. ➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, this from the 1st session. ➤ This training allows you to learn about the concepts of emotional intelligence & empathy with the aim of better recognizing and understanding your own emotions and those of others. Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private and entrepreneurial context.

This training allows you to initiate the process, with concrete tools that can be applied on a daily basis. This training combines group activities, individual reflections, videos and scenarios. From theory to practice with simulations. It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to achieve the objectives set together and overcome the blockages initially defined. ➤ Controlled, the techniques allow: • to rely on emotional intelligence and capitalize on the empathy communicated to better ensure that his message is better received his message or being. • improve credibility, self-confidence and ease (verbal-bodily) with public speaking and a more fluid sense of repartee • defuse conflicts and enter their comfort/safety zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way, for example through CNV (Non-Violent Communication). • to better manage negotiation situations (contrary to the clichés conveyed, negotiation is not only financial, but it can involve small daily events). • Match the substance and form of your message while improving the use of your emotional intelligence. ➤ What you will get out of it: • Better control of emotions and therefore of your way of communicating. • Better understanding of the feelings of others and the ability to manage them successfully. • Better relationships in personal and professional life thanks to superior emotional intelligence. • Less stress thanks to a better understanding of one's emotions and those of others. • Greater determination and results-oriented mindset. • Ways to develop and apply emotional intelligence in the workplace.

    Conversational English and IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation.
    A certified English Teacher| Master’s degree| Started teaching 9 years ago| Taught all ages and levels| Specializing in Conversational English| IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation. My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also have to make sure that the learner is not running in a circle. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation. In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves: • Improving their grammar. • Fixing their pronunciation. • Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms. By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently. PS: Currently, I’m working on my PhD thesis in English literature. Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
