    Experienced English tutor, graduated to PhD level.

    I am a 31 year old Irish Business Development Manager (Artificial Intelligence) who last year completed a PhD in the School of English at the University of Leeds. My special expertise is in Renaissance Drama (Shakespeare and his contemporaries) but I am capable of teaching English Literature and Language to a high level across all literary periods.

    I am also available to tutor across a range of different disciplines in the humanities. In particular, I can help to improve essay structure, writing style, referencing, and can provide proofreading services.

    About Me

    Hi there! I'm Jeri, 32, Irish, and working full-time as a Sales Manager for Microsoft. I am a published academic, and 3 years ago completed my doctoral thesis at the University of Leeds, 'Chivalry and English Drama, 1575-1625'.

    Education

    European School of Brussels 1 (88.56%) - 2006-2010
    BA English, University of Bristol (2.1) - 2010-2013
    MA English, University of Bristol (Distinction) - 2013-2014
    PhD English (University of Leeds) - 2016-2021

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have been a private tutor for 11 years now, in addition to 3 years of academic teaching (undergraduate seminars) at the University of Leeds during my PhD (Shakespeare Studies). Although English Literature, and its Renaissance period especially, is my natural forte, I have had over 30 long-term tutees across English Literature, Theatre Studies, History, Sociology, Psychology, Childhood Studies, and French and Spanish.

    Additionally, I teach English as a second language. As such, I can offer support in rewriting and reworking academic assignments into standard formal English.

    My approach depends heavily on the student, as I tailor classes to suit individual needs. Depending on your requirements, I suggest an initial session to get to know each other and to unpack your learning objectives. From there, I typically build a learning/teaching plan which we work through in a shared document (Google).

    English for beginners, online, acquire basic knowledge of English and become an independent learner
    An element for progressing rapidly in the new language of developing one's vocabulary. Oubliez la grammaire for a moment. If you are a good master of the grammar of your language: if your vocabulary is limited, you should only express it simply. Mieux vaut s'exprimer en faisant quelques fautes de grammaire que ne pas pouvoir s'exprimer du tout! It is sufficient to pass the first step of the manière aléatoire. There are different types of vocabulary: More than a grammatical addition is a one-off error in the presentation, but if the apprendre paralelement is not correct, it is necessary to ensure that the professor is able to combine the method effectively

    English Communication/Conversation With an Experienced Native-Speaking Teacher
    I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week. I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading. My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.
