I am looking to start sessions as a tutor, and particularly to be able to help people improve their level of language. If this is English, I feel that I have a good understanding of our language and a passion for the English language, and also for my degree studying Modern Languages (Spanish and Italian); I'm personally fascinated by the history and links of languages.





I would like to create sessions based on key language components as a base, creating interactive materials before sessions so that students can learn knowledge and contexts of ideas. This could include creating and prerecording videos on any topic, including grammar, tests for vocabulary, language theory, etymological information to help with language understanding, and any other language elements able to be recorded. This could then serve as the foundations that can be built on. I would seek to create these on a shareable professional resource.

The sessions themselves can then be much more interactive, with interactive practise of the language(s), interactive learning resources, and conversational practise if it's needed.

Instead of any session being filled with theory, I would prefer more applied and interactive learning, specifically through cultural understanding, including analysis of literature, musical lyrics, and other uses of the language.
