Reading English Literature; Elizabethan to the Modern

Confronting powerful literature is not only rewarding in itself but it teaches you much about yourself and the world around you. In order to get the most out of reading literature, a refined taste and ability to read must be taught.
The act of writing is one of the highest forms of thought we possess. It teaches us how to organise our minds, how to express ourselves genuinely, and opens us to a multiplicity of lives.

How to be Happy: The Science and Philosophy of Happiness
Are you happy? Hey, my name's Dan, and I want to offer you a course all about exploring what happiness is and how you can achieve it. To do this, we'll be integrating modern scientific research and evidence with millennia of ancient philosophies, belief systems, and cultural insights. By doing this, you get all the wisdom you need and it's all backed by science! This course will give you a new worldview on life to make you happier, wiser, and more self-aware. To do this, we don't just look at happiness- we look at human nature itself, evolution, the human brain, the body, morality, religion, emotions, meaning, self-actualisation, self-transcendence, and much more. All of these topics are explored from scientific and philosophical perspectives, drawing on what the experts and evidence in all these fields are saying. And none of this is abstract: this whole course is all about giving practical advice to help you become the best version of yourself. But unlike other courses on happiness, all that advice is backed by real, trustworthy scientific research: so we know that it all works. This course is for absolutely everyone. Whether you stopped science before GCSEs or chose it as your career, this course has a colossal amount of information that I've integrated from lots of different fields, and can present to you in an easy and friendly way. For more information on the course's structure and what we'll be doing together, just drop me a message. Take care!

Premium History Lessons – Master the Past, Understand the Present - full methodology provided
All classes are given online. You will be provided with full methodology and an individual program will be generated for you to make sure you reach your goals. Philosophy is the foundation of all knowledge, the pursuit of truth through reason, and the key to understanding the world, human nature, and society. To study philosophy is to develop the ability to think critically, argue rigorously, and grasp the underlying principles that shape reality. Raised in a family devoted to intellectual discipline and excellence, I was immersed from an early age in classical philosophy, logic, ethics, metaphysics, and political thought. My approach is both historical and analytical, ensuring that students not only learn philosophical concepts but also develop the ability to question, debate, and apply philosophical reasoning to modern issues. A Rigorous Methodology for Mastering Philosophy: Understanding philosophy requires more than reading — it demands a structured approach to reasoning and analysis. I provide my students with a rigorous methodology that enables them to: -Analyze texts with precision, identifying key arguments and logical structures. -Construct well-formed philosophical arguments, mastering the art of reasoning and rhetoric. -Engage in dialectical thinking, refining their thoughts through structured discussion. -Write and express ideas with clarity and coherence, essential for academic and intellectual pursuits. A Dual Approach: The Great Thinkers & The Great Questions: History of Philosophy – The Evolution of Thought -Ancient Philosophy – Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Stoicism, Epicureanism. -Medieval & Scholastic Philosophy – St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Suarez. -Modern Philosophy – Descartes, Kant, Rousseau, Hegel, Nietzsche. -Contemporary Philosophy – Existentialism, phenomenology, political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics. Philosophical Themes – Mastering the Core Questions: -Metaphysics & Ontology – What is reality? What is existence? -Epistemology – How do we know what we know? What is truth? -Ethics & Moral Philosophy – What is good? What is justice? How should we live? -Political Philosophy – What is the best form of government? What is freedom? -Logic & Argumentation – Learning how to construct, deconstruct, and refine arguments. -Scholasticism – Mastering the structured reasoning of medieval philosophy, essential for theology and metaphysics. - Languages and societal questions. A Course Designed for Your Needs Whether you seek to explore philosophy for personal enrichment or academic excellence, this program is tailored to your level and goals: -Academic support (school, high school, university) Essay & debate preparation -Personal enrichment (deepening your understanding of the great ideas) -Diplomatic, political, or legal insight (for those in governance, law, or international relations) Philosophy is not just an intellectual exercise—it is a way of seeing the world, questioning assumptions, and refining thought. With my structured methodology, you will gain the ability to navigate complex ideas with precision and confidence. Join me, and develop a mind that is sharp, informed, and ready to engage with the deepest questions of life, to find the truth and, most important, to understand why it is true and how to act upon it.

Nathanael
Writer and novelist keen on helping you with your creative writing and literary endeavours.
I have self-published three books, and I am currently working on another novel. I can tutor within the areas of literature, poetry and creative writing, and I'm keen to guide and assist anyone of any age or level. I use the word "assist" because I aim to establish a reciprocal dynamic in which we can bounce and play off one another. I know from experience the elevation of finding those hidden keys lodged somewhere in the mind, keys that open doors to knew areas of insight and growth in the often daunting act of writing. I'll cater the lesson to you and strive to push you to find them, to harness your sensibility and manifest it onto the page, and to bring light to your words.

Trécy
French classes, French literature, DELF/DALF/BACHIBAC preparation and competitive examinations
Good morning! My name is Trécy, I'm French, and I've been living in Madrid for 8 years. I've been a French teacher for 7 years and hold a degree in Spanish Philology from the Sorbonne (Paris) and a Master's in FLE (teaching French as a foreign language). My method is communicative, meaning I primarily encourage oral communication in my classes, analyzing documents, videos, and audio, but always with the goal of reviewing and studying grammatical structures, conjugation, and, above all, the vocabulary necessary for you to be able to converse in French-speaking environments. In addition, in class I practice with the students both the oral and written comprehension sections as well as the oral and written production, grammar points, conjugation, conversation... because don't forget that spoken and written French are like two different languages and it is necessary that you know how to speak and write them. I also offer varied and engaging content to my students so they can learn while having fun with videos, audio clips, role-playing games, real-life situations, debates, and more. The goal is for you to learn inductively. That is, you will analyze the grammatical structures and verb tenses that appear in the documents studied to derive the rules for these structures. We will study them together and explain them with the goal of later applying them through exercises, activities, dialogues, etc. In short, you are the driving force and the driving force behind this class! But the most important thing is that you learn and practice while having fun. In more technical terms, I prepare my students for the French DELF / DALF / EOI tests at levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 and also for the official French BACHIBAC tests for literature and competitive examinations. You will see in class that I am a teacher committed to my students, serious, dynamic, smiling, motivated, and very attentive to the questions, needs, and doubts of my students. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to me! :)

Elise
French private lessons by university graduate in Letters
Holder 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.

Hi My name is Marcia. I have been successfully teaching English for 12 Years. I enjoy teaching English to my students my students all enjoy my lessons we build a naturing funny environment together where we both can learn. Lessons types are structured in 3 categories: 1.5-7 year olds focusing on developing literacy skills through reading, writing, speaking, listening, and games, songs and stories to make learning more fun and stress free. 2.7-10 year olds these are catch up lessons focusing on covering a clear foundation in grammar, creative writing, reading comprehension, descriptive writing and situational writing. 3.11-16 year olds fill in gaps in English lessons focusing on creative writing, essay writing, writing to persuade, advise or inform. Literature questions, fiction non fiction extract questions, reading comprehension and grammar.

I adapt my teaching methods to suit each individual student learning style and capabilities.
