Learn Poetry for everyone - from beginners to advanced

Poetry is a powerful tool to use to understand ourselves and the world around us better. It creates beautiful work from everything - nature, comedy, love, anger, grief - it allows us to process our emotions and to help others too. With poetry, you can teach others more about you or raise awareness of important issues, it is up to you what you make of it. You can go on to perform poetry or publish it in collections, even your own anthology. The world is truly your oyster.

In this class, we will be looking at how to write and perform poetry. How do we grab the attention of readers and the audience? As a winner of a spoken word competition and a published poet, I can teach you all you need to know about structure, rhythm, form and more! I have a fun and dynamic way of tutoring that is interactive and engaging!

Valencian reinforcement for high school and EvAU students
Through these classes, you will not only considerably improve your grades (we all know how frustrating and maddening it can be to pass Valencian), but you will also learn to value the language and acquire a competent level. These lessons are dedicated to all those students of Baccalaureate (both first and second year) who want to improve in this subject, as well as to those who have already decided to take the EvAU exam. We will focus in depth on all those aspects that need more attention from the student: oral comprehension and expression, written comprehension and expression, grammar and syntax, spelling, vocabulary and arrogance and literature (using a personalized, dynamic and enjoyable methodology and approach). Likewise, we will try to improve all those study and learning techniques and tools that we have at our disposal in order to achieve good results in a short time. EvAU students will also receive constant support and feedback when completing each section of the exam in the most optimal way possible. Let's work together to get the 10!

Creative writing for all - begin or continue your journey
If you are serious about writing, it needs to be worked on in conversation with others, as well as on your own. You may have written for a long time, or just be taking a first step to find a safe environment to share your work with someone else. Writing can be such an enriching practice (which may even transform your life), but this doesn't mean it is easy or fulfilling all the way. There are bumps and blocks and tensions... one great way through them is to start to build a community... a good place to start can be to find someone to guide the process of writing and finding ways to support your creativity. I can also signpost to places to go and can guide you to group opportunities and communities, whatever your means. Feel free to talk to me about prices and your means. I do lots of free mentoring and teaching for charities and try to support that work. I am a published poet and fiction writer and have worked as a writing tutor for 5 years. I have an MA in Creative Writing and am studying towards a PhD. I work as a writing mentor for poets and writers from many different backgrounds.

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.

1- Customization: In either, an individual or group class, the lessons will be tailored to your needs, your time, and your interests. 2- Stress-free: I'm going to motivate you until you forget you are learning! Do you know that type of “dry content” -grammar, vocabulary, conjugations, etc.-? You are going to learn without noticing it if you are open to make mistakes and laugh! We are going to focus is on the satisfaction of feeling capable of acquiring a new and vibrant skill. And THEN is where the magic happens: confidence is the new protagonist of the journey. 3- Culture: Based on the fact that every language is a living entity, all my lessons’ content is linked to social and cultural factors. Spanish, a widespread language, offers such a great cultural variety, in so many areas, that those who immerse in this language can’t avoid embracing empathy. 4- Love: My own personal goal for all my students is to fall in love with Spanish. I want to spark in them the desire to continue developing the language as a skill for their lifetime, not only for a test. 5- Fun: Teaching Spanish is my passion. When you put your heart and your biggest effort there’s only ONE result: a happy ending.
