Private Tutor for English Language Reading and Writing

Hello, I am Jai, and I have graduated from an American middle school and high school. I am interested in helping middle school, high school, or university students with their essay-writing and reading comprehension skills. The tutor sessions will vary, depending on your goals, motivations, and needs. For instance, if you have a school assignment, we can review your work and go over your strengths and weaknesses; if you want to improve your overall English, we can structure the session as if it were an English high school class (since that is what I am most familiar with). However, since learning a language requires one to read, write, listen, and speak the language, the session will inevitably touch upon these adjacent skills.
The areas I am most experienced with tutoring are: schoolwork, standardized English-language exams (e.g., TOEFL, SAT, AP English Literature and Composition), and proofreading university-level academic writing.

You will get the most out of our sessions if you bring a general and/or specific question and clearly outline your expectations and goals.

About Me

Hello, I'm Jai, and I would consider English and Korean my native language. I graduated middle and high school in the United States, and I have a Bachelor of Sciences (BSc) in Social Sciences from Amsterdam University College. During my undergraduate studies, for two years, I was an editor for the social sciences in InPrint, a student-led academic journal. As an editor, I was responsible for revising and editing bachelor theses so that they may be published. Since high school, I have tutored English (for beginners), and I enjoy teaching English because I think the language is beautiful. (It's also a great privilege to be fluent in this language--thank you Mom and Dad!)
Something I enjoy most when teaching writing is that everyone has an idea or an opinion; however, students often have difficulty translating those ideas onto paper. I find it both challenging and fun to be with the student as they are formulating their arguments and learning to put those ideas in coherent order (i.e., writing the essay). I also enjoy reading a passage with the student and hearing their reactions to the text. It's always fascinating how people react differently to the same passage (although it's my job to make sure they don't gloss over some key points in the text)!

Education

Year 2023 graduate from Amsterdam University College (AUC), school of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Majored in Social Sciences with a specialization in Cognitive Psychology. GPA: 3.2

Experience / Qualifications

Tutored middle school and high school students, proofread university-level academic papers, university night-classes for beginners

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.
