IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing for HL essays and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IOs
After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing. In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction. We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

✅ COPYWRITER, ADVERTISING WRITER, DESIGNER-EDITOR: ENHANCE YOUR CONTENT TO OFFER IT BETTER
Copywriting is the art of selling with words. In short, it's written marketing. Concretely, a copywriter (or copywriter) writes content tailored for the sale of a product or service. And precisely, it is either: - to offer you concrete techniques, a clear methodology and pragmatic tools to learn how to write quality content yourself for your own needs - or to help you directly to promote the content of your product and design a text, a letter, a hook, a slogan, write marketing files, press releases, an internet page, blog posts, advertising banners and newsletters (...) in an impactful and optimal way. Choose the appropriate terms and format them in order to convey an idea, a message, in the most relevant, effective and persuasive way possible. So, how can you write writing highlighting a brand, a product, a person or simply a company... in order to promote it and gain visibility? This is why, to help you on the one hand, to create strong, attractive and synthetic messages but also on the other hand, to teach you to do it for yourself, it will be a question of precisely understanding your needs, your product, your strategy, the values you wish to convey (...). Objective: to be creative enough to capture the attention of your audience and make readers want it. With reusable writing, making your communication profitable, increasing your notoriety and achieving your objectives (...) allows you to make a lasting impression over time. Because always keep in mind that the writing remains. Develop your visual approach, compare the coherence of the text with the guideline but also the coherence of the idea with the graphic concept: it is also a question of assuming the tasks of coordination. If you also wish to train yourself to write other content yourself, the training can include deepening your writing skills to give personality to your texts, developing ideas, concepts and their implementation, creativity/presentation techniques... all anchored in practical exercises and scenarios. ➤ THE COPYWRITER TRAINER Trained at the Grande Ecole post-European preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and worked for more than 17 years, in Europe and North America, in the field. On the one hand as a copywriter then as director of communication / advertising agencies. On the other hand, as a trainer in this field in renowned public and private international establishments, speaking in forums and conferences. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject. ✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat. ✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions. The rate offered is not a corporate rate and does not allow the delivery of invoices to companies that request it. ✓ Languages: French/English. ✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 1 to 2 sessions (*2024 study). ✓ As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round. CONTACT / PROGRAM ✓ A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.
