I have been an online tutor for over three years now, and I specialise in French, History, English, and Sociology. I enjoy creating a comfortable and productive environment in which my students improve their confidence as well as their academic and/or linguistic ability. I thoroughly enjoy what I do, and I find passing on my enthusiasm for a subject immensely satisfying.Education

As an experienced tutor specializing in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, I bring creativity and a wealth of diverse resources to each session. My teaching approach is tailored to make learning both effective and enjoyable, ensuring that students feel supported and motivated. I am dedicated to creating a warm and comfortable environment where students can confidently practice and improve their English skills. I have experience teaching all levels of English, including preparing students for exams to enter universities and more. Join me, and let's embark on an engaging journey to learning - and one day mastering - the English language together!
Using interactive and engaging activities, we will explore whichever issues within the Britain, European and World, and Scottish topics you are focusing on. Each week, I always include quizzes on your chosen topics to assess your understanding at random points, and we start completing essay-style and past paper source questions from the get-go to ensure students are comfortable with the exam format. I have pre-made answer structures for each type of source question to simplify this part of the exam, and to ensure that students can pick up as many marks as possible. Having achieved 100% in both my National 5 and Higher History prelims and therefore obtaining the History award at my school, I know exactly how to get every mark available to students taking this exam. I also understand how to achieve a very good mark in the assignment which can give students a huge boost in terms of marks and confidence going into the final exam.
As an experienced tutor specializing in French for GCSE and A-level, and SQA National 5 and Higher qualifications, I employ a creative approach using a variety of resources to make learning engaging and effective. My sessions are designed to help students not only excel in their exams but also to develop a deep appreciation for the French language. I am passionate about creating a warm and comfortable environment where students feel confident to practice and improve their skills. I also have experience teaching French to adult beginners, as well as the International GCSE qualification. Let's work together to achieve your French language goals with confidence and enthusiasm!
SQA National 5 and Higher English are arguably the most important qualifications you undertake whilst in Secondary School in Scotland. In the lessons I run, I make powerpoints/pdfs each week that are tailored to the specific needs of students. We go through poems, short stories, or prose via interactive and engaging tasks to ensure a deep understanding of the text(s) is consolidated. I then always introduce past paper questions at the earliest point possible in order to ensure students are fully comfortable with the format of the exam, and to assess the extent to which they understand the text(s) they are studying. The same goes for the reading paper (RUAE) - I have pre-made answer structures for each type of question that can be asked for this paper, and I get students to apply these when answering past papers. I often ask students to write summaries, prepare essays, and/or answer past paper questions as homework.

Social Sciences and qualitative research for higher education (from bachelor to post-doc)I offer Social Sciences and qualitative research classes for university students in all levels. I have experience teaching and mentoring students at different levels of their academic formation. From classic social studies, to the most recent theoretical developments in Anthropology, Sociology, Political Sciences or History, I can guide you through the intricacies of social thought and research in a clear, motivated and exciting way.
Who am I?
A committed social scientist, MA and Ph.D in Anthropology, completed 4yrs post-Ph.D in political anthropology. I have conducted four different research projects, all of them focusing in southern African communities and dealing with an array of distinct topics (religious syncretism; memory and identity; local and state politics; literary practices; history making; power and authority). During my studies I have built a very consistent and broad theoretical and ethnographic knowledge, particularly, but not only, when it comes to the interdisciplinary field of African studies (a complex literature in which I feel very comfortable and able to navigate with full proficiency). I am a very experienced researcher (with more than 3 years of fieldwork experience in southern Africa), acquainted with all kinds of qualitative methods, from interviews, ritual analysis, archival work and social media research. I have much experience writing, assessing and tutoring research projects; peer-reviewing academic papers (including American Anthropology, Caderno de Estudos Africanos, among others); participating in thesis commission board; and as a university professor. Mentoring and teaching is truly my passion, and with a very consistent and mature knowledge of the literature you can expect a most precise, competent assistance.
How do I work?
* You have a specific topic to unravel: we will go to the button of it through an interdisciplinary genealogy of concepts and an attentive look to their uses in concrete situations.
* You have an ongoing/finished paper: I will proofread your paper and offer you a logic schematics of your central argument. The idea is to first pull you out of the hurricane to identify its trajectory, and then push you back at its peaceful centre, were we can polish your ideas, cleaning unnecessary digressions and adding relevant data and literature.
* You have/need a research project: I will read and comment your project in case you already have one and offer you with a schematic of the literature related with your topic so that we can identify relevant gaps in the literature. After doing that, we will consider your objectives and consider through pertinent questions for your research.
* You are writing a thesis: I will first go through your research project and cross-check with you the actual results of your research. Once we have done that, we will analyse the nature and quality of your data, the span of the literature covered, chapters you might have already written, and, of course, the issues that excites you most. The idea is to identify where your strength is and what can be done do reinforce your arguments (more research, if possible; or literature review, if necessary). All this will be done with organizational support, helping you plan and schedule your writing with confidence, grace and, most importantly, no suffering!

sociology- secondary school level- Gcse- Aqa or EdexcelWhen teaching sociology we firstly we go through sociological approach which covers what sociology is. Then other main topics we cover are crime and deviance, education, families and research methods.
Sociology is fascinating because it delves into the complexities of human behavior and social structures. It explores how individuals and groups interact, the influences of culture and society, and the factors that shape our identities and relationships. By examining everything from family dynamics to global issues, sociology helps us understand the patterns that govern our lives. It allows us to understand society better.

Social Sciences Course - Arabic Language-SociologyThis course offers an interdisciplinary approach to exploring social sciences, philosophy and Arabic language learning. It aims to provide learners with a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts of social sciences, to develop critical thinking skills in philosophy.
In social sciences, we will analyze social dynamics, institutions and social phenomena, such as mental health, education, family and inequality. Students will study classical and contemporary sociological theories while developing a critical understanding of the structures that govern society.
Philosophy, for its part, will encourage an exploration of major ethical, existential and metaphysical questions, with an emphasis on reflection and logical reasoning. Students will be invited to question the concepts of justice, truth and freedom, and to connect these notions to contemporary issues.
In parallel, learning the Arabic language will be aimed at non-native speakers wishing to develop their oral and written communication skills. The course will offer an immersion in the basics of grammar, vocabulary and cultural expressions, allowing students to express themselves in Arabic in various contexts.
This course offers an enriching experience for those who wish to combine intellectual reflection and the acquisition of language skills in an intercultural setting.
