Visiting lecturer offering tuition in academic writing, proofreading, and university study-skills

I am a visiting lecturer in the humanities and social sciences looking to offer students focussed help in academic writing, essay construction, proofreading, and research methods.

This can be for a one-off consultation on a particular project (perhaps a dissertation), or a tailored course spread over several sessions (to improve general scholarship). Communication can be via email, telephone, and/or online platforms (like Zoom).

Invitation to anyone studying in the arts, humanities, or social sciences. My particular expertise lies in music (theory, analysis, history) and philosophy, and so would also welcome anyone interested in cultivating some knowledge in those areas more broadly two.

Please feel free to get in touch, to discuss your projects.

I look forward to hearing from you.

About Me

I am currently a visiting lecturer delivering courses in a variety of topics, but with a particular focus on music theory and philosophy. I obtained a BA(hons) (first-class), Masters (distinction), and Ph.D from the University of Liverpool, and continue to work closely with such institutions as the Society of Music Analysis, for whom I am the executive officer.

The impetus for my reaching out on forums such as this is two-fold: first, as a response to the current pandemic, which is hampering students greatly; but also because I have become acutely aware in recent years of the need for students to have a broader education, which attempts to cultivate in them a level of scholarship which is otherwise difficult to attain through the traditional university systems.

Education

University of Liverpool: Ph.D (Modulation in a New Key: Towards a Generalised Theory of Non-Diatonic Transformations in the Music of the Early-Twentieth Century, 2018) , Masters (MMus) with distinction, and BA(hons) Music graduating with first-class

Experience / Qualifications

Extensive teaching experience, from private tuition (instrumental and theoretical) to the delivery of lecture courses (covering a diverse range of subjects, including advance music analysis and theory, aesthetics, the philosophy of music, the history of western classical music, and music criticism). Also experienced in peer-reviewing, publishing, editing, presenting, and conference organisation.
Visiting lecturer in music theory, analysis, and history looking to offer private tuition to current students (degree, Masters, or Ph.D) requiring some focused help, or to those interested in cultivating some new knowledge in a fascinating subject. I have experience in private tuition and delivering lecture series at several UK institutions and in a range of subjects, from advanced theory and analysis, to music criticism, aesthetics and the philosophy of music, and music scholarship more broadly. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your projects and musical interests.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018. I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !

Language Learning Coach- Learn how to learn a language, use it with ease and have great conversations
“I feel stuck” These words I hear again and again, from beginners to advanced. The majority of students who come to me are frustrated. They spent many years studying languages at school. They’ve spent both their time and lots of money. Only to find themselves still struggling to form a sentence. Still struggling to be able to understand a native speaker. If you’re here then I’m assuming you share some of these same struggles. You get confused trying to memorize grammar rules, remember vocabulary, and makes sentances. You don’t know how to learn every day. You get distracted and then you feel too tired to keep going. Believe it or not, I’ve been there too and to be honest, it sucks to have another language is to possess a second soul Charlemage Now, I want you to trust me on your language journey Imagine finally knowing exactly what to do when you sit at your desk to learn a language. Imagine knowing how to learn grammar, how to remember vocabulary and make it stick, how to speak, and how to write beautiful sentences. Imagine going on holiday somewhere and interacting with locals. Laughing, eating, dancing and living life in a different language.
