Subjects taught
-
English Literature
I love reading and writing, but I also love analyzing and dissecting novels and plays. It is always important to look deeper into the meanings of characters, symbols, settings etc. to truly understand the plot as a whole. I am thoroughly passionate about the English language, and I would take great pleasure in teaching students to think deeply and analytically about their prescribed reading texts. Also, sometimes students may find English boring and "pointless" because most of them speak it everyday, so I will make sure to create a fun and dynamic environment where they will truly grasp and enjoy the subject matter.

English as a foreign Language
As mentioned above, I have a great passion for English. I am also incredibly patient, versatile and have the ability to adapt my teaching methods based on students ability to understand the language being taught. For students learning English as a foreign language, I will make sure that I go at a steady pace and make sure they understand all the work before continuing with the lesson.

History
I am passionate about history, world politics and the human condition in general. A look into history might be a glimpse into the past, but it also answers a lot of questions about society today. learning history is not just about facts and theory, it is about analyzing and becoming knowledgeable about the world around you today. When you teach something you enjoy, students are able to pick up on that and grasp the subject matter much better.

English
There were many options under English, including grammar, English skills, vocabulary etc. which I would be happy to teach. My strong suit comes in when poetry and literature is involved, but I am also well-equipped to teach the various other avenues within the english language.
