MA in English Literature with an emphasis on Gothic Literature, CELTA Certified

Experience

I come from Budapest, a city known for its Gothic and Romanesque architecture. This influenced my interest in English Gothic literature. During my time in school, I have really enjoyed reading books by authors such as Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Edgar Allan Poe. This love made me interested in teaching and studying the dark, hauntingly beautiful stories they have made. I have taught in Hungary, England, and the US for 14 years. I focus on how the social and political situations in the 18th and 19th centuries influenced Gothic literature. I also bring in a Central European viewpoint to the discussion.

Tutoring Approach

Literature is more than simply words on a page. It shows different worlds, times, and ways of thinking. When we study Gothic literature, it isn't just about the dark tales but understanding the fears, anxieties, and societal pressures that birthed these stories. In class, I enjoy exploring different settings, analyzing the hidden meanings, and encouraging students to share their own thoughts and ideas. Because I come from Central Europe, I often talk about European history and how it relates to the Gothic era. How might people from Eastern Europe see Dracula based on their folklore? How does the book Frankenstein connect to the scientific progress and fears during the time it was written? I want each lesson to be like an adventure, where students are encouraged to think, analyze, and find connections between different cultures and time periods.

Elena

English is well-taught by Sara. She is so great that words fail me. She obviously enjoys teaching English and is quite knowledgeable about English literature. She is also highly supportive, organized, and full of enthusiasm. She is teaching English to my daughter right now, and she is making rapid progress in both her writing and grammatical abilities. Despite her young age, Sara constantly keeps her inspired and full of confidence. I hope she will keep instructing her till she earns her Gcse and even beyond that, until she develops into a brilliant English writer like Sara. Highly recommended as a tutor!

Viktor

Her passion for the subject is evident. I'd love a bit more focus on character analysis alongside the historical context.

If you are reading this, it means that my profile drew your attention. I came from what is called a linguistic background. In the world of languages, English grabbed my attention first. I have to say that I have been teaching English for 12 years. I have also been learning other languages at the same time, such as Latin and Russian.

Tutoring Approach

When it comes to my method, I try to help tutees to understand their psychology. This makes them independent in their learning abilities. I also create a space where we can both grow within the language by questioning concepts and articulating them. We will also carry out analysis and, most importantly, self-analysis. You can easily book a trial lesson and see how it goes for yourself. Every student is special and that is why every little detail counts: the lesson strategy, the rhythm, and the thrill of our conversation. I would be pleased to guide you on the way since we both will learn from the interaction. Look forward to seeing you in my lessons!

Experience

I began my career in Italy, where I focused on studying the connections between Italian and English literature and how they influence each other. I started teaching at local colleges and then expanded to teaching internationally because of this research journey. I have organized workshops all around the world, focusing on how literary themes are common to everyone. I am skilled at combining Eastern and Western literature to create a diverse understanding of different literary styles.

Tutoring Approach

 I want to help you understand the different parts of a piece of literature by breaking them down one at a time. Instead of just reading, we will examine the text by asking questions and looking for answers. We will look at the social and political context, the author's life, the cultural details, and much more. This approach helps students both enjoy the literature and fully understand the story's complexity.

Francesca

I'm glad I know him. He is a teacher, but he is also a friend and someone I can talk to about anything. Also, he always tries to find the best way to teach you with different engaging sources because he cares about your success just as much as you do. On the other hand, he loves getting to teach. It goes without saying that he knows a lot about English. It will be clear to you. So, you can believe in him because he is trying his best. First, though, make sure you'll do your best. Have fun!

Damien

Always nice, helpful, and easy to get in touch with. It makes it very easy to understand the writing. Besides being nice and funny, he is also very down to earth. You will grow a lot because of him. A wonderful teacher and friend. He works very hard to make sure his kids do well, and it was amazing how much time and effort he put into them. He's also very funny and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Very good teacher.

MA in English Literature with a focus on Latin American Influences, Certified

Experience

 I was born in Spain but have also lived in Latin America for a while. I have always been interested in the connections between English and Latin American literature. I started teaching in Madrid and then went on to teach at different universities in South America. I love exploring the connections between English classics and Latin American masterpieces. I have written several papers on this topic.

Tutoring Approach

 Literature connects different cultures, time periods, and personal stories. I want to help my students understand the bridge between different works of literature. I will focus on the story, emotions, history, and cultural importance of each work. We explore the background of each piece, finding links between worldwide events and personal stories. By doing this, students are not just reading. They are going on a journey through time and different locations, which helps them understand the interconnectedness of the literary world better.

Samuel

It was great to talk to you today. My 11-year-old daughter needed to improve her English skills, and she is the perfect teacher for her. She first took a 30-minute trial lesson with her to see how good she was so far. Then we talked about how we were going to help her improve her English. I was shocked that she got exactly what I meant about the pros and cons of my daughter learning English. We can't wait to have lessons with her from now on.

Camila

Maira is a great teacher who has helped me improve my English a lot. I can now talk to my colleagues in much better English. We can talk about more than just saying hello. I wanted a teacher who could help me learn more than just the language. I also wanted to learn about the society. In this area, Maira fernandez is a great source of information, and I'm glad that sometimes our lessons are conversations instead of just language practice.

Experience

My name is Raina. I’m a literature enthusiast, and I love screen literature. Literature itself is an amazing subject, and studying its elements in terms of theatre makes it even more incredible. I’m very passionate about tutoring this subject in one-on-one sessions, as such sessions focus more on individual learning. I’ve tutored different course subjects of literature to university-level students. I’ve helped them understand the course material, learn the concepts for building a robust foundation for exams, and complete the research articles for publishing in different journals. Apart from all this, I’ve also worked in an elementary school, helping junior students with English subjects.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approaches are always simple and straightforward. I provide my students with great exposure to literature via movies, books, notes, etc. The students in my with one-on-one sessions are encouraged to draw their own conclusions and use their critical thinking to analyze the content. I guide my students at every stage and help them overcome any fear they might have regarding the exams, course materials, etc.

Experience

Hi! I’m a certified English teacher and a tutor who has taught IELTS, TESOL, and elementary and high-school level students. I’m also running a language academy where my team members focus on building or strengthening students’ English skills. In a nutshell, I’ve spent years dealing with English literature. Those years have increased my knowledge of teaching methods which I further implemented in one-on-one sessions in the following years of my teaching career. I synchronize my schedule with the students’ timetables.

Tutoring Approach

English literature is my favorite subject, and I tutor this subject with super-interactive and engaging methods. I develop a strong understanding of the course material via my sessions and build good professional relationships with the students. This allows me to clearly understand the students’ requirements and design or modify the lesson plans accordingly.

Experience

 As a native of Dublin, a city with a long literary tradition, I was surrounded by stories about Joyce, Yeats, and Wilde as a child. My time in Ireland, where there is a strong literary tradition, made me really interested in writing and teaching English literature. In the past nine years, I have done different jobs. I taught at colleges in Dublin, held writing workshops in London, and taught literature courses online to people all over the world. I like to mix old English literature with modern stories to show how storytelling is always changing and important.

Tutoring Approach

Literature is a way for people to have conversations across different time periods. When I study classic works, I always try to connect them to stories and ideas that are relevant today. This helps students understand that the themes and emotions in these classics are still important and relatable. How would Hamlet from Shakespeare's play react in today's world with technology? Which modern novels capture the spirit of "Pride and Prejudice"? I aim to make every class engaging and meaningful by having discussions, analyzing information, and doing creative activities. I want students to share their thoughts, make connections to today's world, and interact with the texts in a way that is meaningful and easy to understand.

Aoife

I can't recommend him highly enough as a student of upper-level English literature! My skill and understanding have greatly increased in the topic since I started attending his lessons. He not only has a thorough comprehension of the topic, but more significantly, he is able to express things in a manner that is very simple to comprehend. He is really friendly, and the lessons are quite interesting. I heartily urge anybody searching for a top-notch English instructor to choose Mr. Sean.

Finn

I appreciate the contemporary links he draws. Just wish we'd sometimes stay more rooted in the original text's era.

Experience

 I started teaching literature in Seoul. I mixed English literature with Korean storytelling traditions. I started to understand the connections and differences between Eastern and Western literature. I have taught in different schools and universities around the world, focusing on the importance of literature in promoting conversations between different cultures. I have been studying post-colonial narratives and how literature from English-speaking countries has been received and understood in Asia. I have been sharing this topic with my students and I am very passionate about it.

Tutoring Approach

When we read, we don't just understand words; we imagine being someone else, experiencing a different culture, or living in a different era. I want to make these steps very clear and lifelike. When we read Jane Austen, we will talk about the rules and expectations of society during her time. When we learn about George Orwell, we will talk about the political situations he was responding to. But I also want to consider: How might people from Eastern cultures see these works? How do different cultures affect how we understand a story or character? In my classes, I want students to actively participate in the conversation of literature. I encourage them to connect their own backgrounds and perspectives to the larger discussion happening in the literary world.

Jun-ho

She is very composed, diligent, and professional. She assisted me in reading materials on many themes and studying for my tests. The first lesson was an orientation for 30 minutes, which I had provided her in advance. During our conversations, she contributed interesting perspectives on top of what she had read and comprehended. If you want to study extensively the certain literary masterpieces, I highly suggest her!

Grace

I appreciate how involved she is in each literary work, but sometimes I wish we'd cover more things faster.

My name is Alan. I’m an English teacher and specialize in tutoring English Literature and its various fields in one-on-one sessions. I’ve spent whole 7 years teaching english literature in classrooms to students from different backgrounds. Over the past 7 years, I’ve taught more than one hundred students and helped them improve their academic performance or pass IELTS (or other such tests). Besides tutoring English literature to university-level students, I’ve also tutored elementary and O/A-level students. I’m also an expert at assisting with research articles. 

Tutoring Approach

Before starting out with the course material, I plan out my sessions and design the lesson plans according to the requirements of the students. To better understand my student, I ask different questions and ask him/her to fill in the biography-based questionnaires.

Experience

After finishing my MPhil, I became a lecturer at a well-known British university. I taught students about English literature, including works by Shakespeare and modern writings. During this time, I started book clubs to encourage discussions that analyze things outside of the classroom. I started a website two years ago that makes English literature more accessible to people around the world. It also encourages people to talk about both old and new books from different perspectives.

Tutoring Approach

Literature is about making connections - connecting with the writer, the time period, and the main ideas. I design my lessons to make you think by connecting the text to the present world. I want to make difficult poetry easier to understand and analyze characters in novels in a way that is easy for people to relate to and understand. By doing this, students not only read literature, but they also get to experience it.

Reviews
Raj

I have taken more than 20 hours of lessons with Laura and my English has gotten better in every way. She is great, and I would suggest her to anyone who wants to improve their English. That was my goal. I really like how Laura knows a lot about culture, writing, and history. It makes the language lessons much more useful. She gives language and real-life practice the same amount of weight and leaves room for open conversations. Most of the time, these come from words or topics we learn in grammar class. I will definitely keep going on my journey with her to learn the language that my family and ancestors spoke.

Emily

I wish we'd cover more authors in a shorter span. Good teacher anyway, highly recommended.
