English, History, Politics and Personal Statement Tutoring

I am offering tutoring for subjects such as English, History and Politics with a particular emphasis on essays, applications and drafting skills.

Formulating a written argument that is both succinct and coherent is a crucial skill for any discipline but it is especially useful for subjects such as english, history and politics. I believe that anybody is capable of writing well and my classes are designed to improve a student's structure, vocabulary and syntax. The class is designed for a broad range of students who may be looking for help on a particular project, application or simply want to improve their writing skills.

My classes are not overly prescriptive and I am willing to adapt my teaching methods to a student's particular needs and objectives. Ultimately, my aim is for students to develop their writing skills and become stronger communicators.

About Me

I am half Irish, half Spanish and I am currently living in Brussels. I have recently finished my studies and I will be working as a trainee lawyer in London as of February 2021. I have decided to provide tutoring services in the interim because it is something I have genuinely enjoyed in the past and I believe that I can help students across a range of subjects.

Although I can provide help across a range of subjects, I am particularly focused on drafting skills and writing. I believe these skills are invaluable and critical to achieving academic success as well as job/university applications.

In terms of my own background, I completed the IB Diploma at an international school in Belgium followed by a BA in History and Politics at the University of Exeter. I later decided to pursue a career in Law and completed the Graduate Diploma in Law. This was followed by a year of working at a law firm in London after which I completed the Legal Practice Course. My academic career has exposed me to a wide range of teaching methods and allowed me to develop key skills that I am looking to pass onto students.

I do not believe in being overly prescriptive with my lessons and I base my classes on a student's particular needs or objectives. My broad objective is to provide students with transferrable skills that they can use across various subjects and applications.

I teach English, Greek and Spanish classes for children and teenagers.
Teacher with more than ten years of experience, I have lived, studied and worked in Greece, Spain and England. My experience with both languages has given me the ability to teach other people in a dynamic and professional way. I offer to learn about your goals, your level of English, Greek or Spanish and thus design personalized and direct classes so that we can achieve your goals together. My greatest satisfaction is communicating with my students in the languages I have already taught them. I teach the classes online because I also work for the cruise line. I greatly respect my students and their goals, but I always make it clear that mutual respect, mutual schedules, and mutual commitment are the only three points that I try to have in common with my students, since those points reflect that we are going to meet our goals. I love to bring up topics about almost everything, doing pronunciation exercises. I truly believe that if we use what we do throughout the day to create an increasingly extensive vocabulary and we are persistent, I think that in a short time we can achieve very good results. I am a specialist in breaking the ice and creating the best closeness or complicity to get the most out of my dear students, I assure you that learning English, Greek and Spanish will be fun and one of the best experiences you will have!!!
