Roddy Scott English&FrenchTutor

Well, the results are coming to me by email and txt... x 3 students so far with Grade A. There is no question how this happened: they are hard- working young people. All I do is support, guide, offer advice. Any student coming to me gets good advice etc, but their work ethic is vital- if they are willing to work hard, results are guaranteed! So Well Done, Charlie, Caitlyn and Ismail! Happy faces all round x

So large groups of students in an Exam Hall is just about to happen.....

also, I do Zoom and face to face meetings now, ' hybrid' learning.

There's no time like the Present. Act now, guaranteed, Guaranteed, GUARANTEED Results from a qualified, long- experienced Tutor. Try me out: once a week, once a fortnight, even once a month...... you choose!
Good Luck, until We Meet :)

2022 is here. Don't let the Virus get you down!
Be positive about the Future. Study hard, English & French are just 2 subjects at school- then they become 2 Phenomena in your Life, 2 Worlds to be explored..... and then the Learning never ends. That's why Learning is Fun. Stop worrying about exams and just Live!

Hi Folks!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
and Thank You, to all the people who have reacted and shown support for this page, although uptake from students here has been rarer than hen's teeth.... :)
Whatever. I remain Hopeful, since 2022 is a New Year, just around the corner, And by the Great Zeus Head of Olympia, it has to be Better than the last 2!!
Slainthe! And May Yer Lums Lang Reek! :)

Hello Folks!
This is a Very Special Thank you, to all my friends and family, who have over the last month or so, ' likes' or otherwise recognised my page here for Tutoring.

I really appreciate it, especially from my pals in Canada, Doug thank you!

Business has been slow but students will pick up soon, as the exam season for many will be upon them, just after Christmas.

So might I remind all parents and students reading this, that I remain very flexible as a tutor, offering both English and French at most levels, and also for Adult Learners of French and English as a Foreign Language ( etc).

I have currently an Adult Learner of French on Zoom who lives miles away in North England!

It is a pleasure to see people profiting from learning, always. These ' lessons' I deliver are custom- made for each individual I meet.

Happy St Andrew's Day! Alba Gù Bráth!

Slaìnthe Mhór!
Roddy

As you all know, ornithology is the study of birds.... but Literature like a bird book is only going to enlighten you about... birds.
Reading is absolutely key, in as many areas of life as you can imagine, to learning language and learning how it works. Thus reading news articles in a newspaper, a broadsheet (i.e. the opposite of a tabloid paper) will always help to make the Reading Exam Paper that much easier! However don't passively read- active reading means picking up a dictionary, finding the word you don't know, writing down its meaning, and learning it.
All you need is a pen and paper, and a newspaper, and a dictionary.
Don't relie on online dictionaries- get a few hardback copies. Books are not old-fashioned, they're reliable!
And that's it for my updating ... a wee Blogpost, as it were. Good Luck with the Prelims, you Students! :)

Hi Folks, read my tutor reviews, if you think they're good, why not 'like' them?! :)
I get more Brownie Points on Google searches as a result....

Please, Fellow Folks, leave feedback that represents your genuine impression of the Reviews for this Tutor... His Business Is Still Trucking On... :)))

Go Ahead! Book Me Today :))) My Work Is Value for The Bank Vault- that would be the Student's Personal Piggy Bank :))

If you are a past student of mine and you have done well and been happy with the work I did, please post a Review here: :)

It's now 15th September and my student uptake is strong, I have 5 per week now ( this is the earliest in any year out of the last 15 years that students have got in touch) but still some space for 1 or 2 more....

This early uptake is definitely a sign of the Pandemic times, students missing out last year on their education.

So if you're a parent and worried about your son or daughter catching up after missing studies, or want them to have support to get good grades, I'm here to help - 4 students are on Zoom hourly tutorials, the 5th is a local who chose face to face at his house.

I have 1 student Adult Learner of French, who is based in the North of England. She has a very busy home life, but is progressing rapidly, with plenty of laughs too!

The strongest resource I use that works for students is BBC Bitesize Revision, which I cannot recommend enough!

Come on, jump in to Tutorial, it's cheap but excellent quality I offer, with all background work- marking, research, email advice, etc
part of the price paid for 1 hour's tutorial, I e. no extra charge for any work undertaken outwith the hour online on Zoom!

That's Value for Money, no? :))

Self-Made Man and Tutor of High Calibre Available for Hire.....
English or French, Take your Pick
Choisissez Bien!
Mais N'Attend Pas Jusqu'aux Oies S'Envolent Encore au Sud Pour L' Hiver!

Book NOW or Forever Hold Thy Breath, as next year's tutors will go like Hotcakes :))

Santé!

The students in this photo I taught in Chan Young High School in Sheung Shui, New Territories, Hong Kong, 2004-2006. The photo at the foot of the page is them in their 20s.
They were an A Level Hong Kong Certificate of Education class. There were 32 students, and for the first time in the school's history
the pass rate was 100%!! I was their teacher for the whole 2 years. They were a class of the finest students I have ever met- kind, generous, FUNNY,
friendly, warm-hearted, hard-working, respectful, but most of all, they knew their teacher cared. :)
It was a privilege to teach them. I will never forget them as long as I live.

@ 04 Jan 2021 English & French Tutor, Freelance Writer: R A Scott.
Hello! My name is Roddy Scott and I am a Scottish retired High School teacher of English & French. I continue to tutor English & French as I enjoy it so much and have had many good & successful experiences with very nice students, one or two of whom I remain in touch with after many years.
I can also call upon them or their parents to provide references and strong testimony as to my positive and often strong results. Their hard work is what brings them success of course, but my input, in the testimony of both parents and students, is a major contributing factor and sometimes it has been essential, due to the circumstances in schools and colleges which students unwittingly find themselves placed.
I have 28 years teaching experience and of those years, the last 13 years roughly have been spent tutoring in the evenings, some weekends.
I have many happy ex-students, among these students, I have a 100% pass rate- either the student was struggling, but got a C pass at Higher, or they achieved A or B grades, at Higher. I have also taught Intermediate 1 & 2, Int 2 being the certificate that National 5 English & French courses were developed from (see SQA, or 'Learning & Teaching Scotland' online).
National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher English & French are all on offer, as well as Conversational basic Cantonese, or Advanced Oral French (I have fluent French), as I lived and taught English in Hong Kong from 1998-2006, and lived in Belgium and taught English in a French-speaking school, 1983-84, and taught French in high school for many years.
I have TESL/TEFL experience, can teach English as a Foreign or Second language, since this is what I was doing in Hong Kong.
Service Records of all schools and Certificates of Service for them are all available.
Creative Writing is also a specialty- for anyone preparing short story, poetry or drama- a script- for their Folio, this is also possible!
I have edited and proofread doctoral theses as well as helped with undergraduate dissertations, on several occasions- these Phd holders and Batchelors and Masters holders can verify and bear testimony to my abilities.
I am a member of SAW (Scottish Association of Writers) and FWS (Federation of Writers, Scotland). Both these organizations can be found online, promoting creative writing in Scotland, for all ages.
I write poetry & short story, have a fantasy novel in process for Young Adults as well as a script for a theater play, or screenplay.
All types of writing catered for, including Discursive Essay, Personal / Reflective Essay, which is classed as Creative Non-Fiction in the professional writing world.
I am a Performance Poet, and member of Word Factory*, which meets at Govanhill, Glasgow, every Friday (see Facebook*) and performs Spoken Word events, the first Wed of every month, in Glasgow.
As well as teaching for 25 years I have been actively writing as a semi-professional freelancer, since 1985, having some non-fiction articles published in various magazines, as well as poetry published in magazines online and in an anthology of poets from Hong Kong called 'Outloud', 2000AD. (For a view of poems online, see: Sentinel Poetry, Allpoetry, Dreich Poetry Online and Print, Glasgow, University of Aberdeen Pandemic Poetry, Stanza Poetry Festival Scottish Poetry Map, and many more)
Tutorials can be carried out evenings, Mon-Fri, or weekends, with restricted times Sunday, in the home of the student, ALSO in public libraries.
N.B., during 2020 and onwards, until the Coronavirus restrictions are lifted and the situation is under control, all tutorials will be online.
I use Zoom for online tutorials, as well as a Skype Account- contact me re. details.
Tutorials can be quite flexible- every two weeks, for example. I travel to tutorials on a Yamaha TDM 900 motorbike, occasionally a car.
Please Note: a responsible adult, or a sibling aged 18 or over, must be present in the home during the whole tutorial, or the tutorial can not go ahead.
24 hours notice, at least, must be given to cancel a tutorial.
Hourly rates are fixed and will be revealed at the time of arrangement, with some negotiation possible.
I look forward to hearing from you, whether you are a parent looking for help, or a student looking for help. Good Luck!
Cheers, Roddy Scott.

Hello there!  I am Roddy Scott.
I was a high school teacher of English & French for 25 years (1992-2016, and one year as an Assistant English Teacher in Belgium 1983-84 in a French-speaking school, in Wallonie, 30km South of Brussels.)
I have been an Examiner many times- in Highland Region in Scotland, in Hong Kong, and also whilst working as a Tutor; Oral English Examiner for English as a Foreign Language, Oral French Language Examiner, Exam Setter and Lead Examiner in Hong Kong, as well as Oral Language Course Designer and Trainer to Chinese teachers.
I have been tutoring- while I worked in high school, until now, 2021- for 28 years, with a great deal of success. I tutor in the student's home, or in libraries, or via Zoom or Skype, etc.

I have an Online Tutor presence on First Tutors (i.e. I am a Tutor for them) as well as Superprof, an advert on Gumtree, and several International Tutor websites- a Google search will verify I am registered internationally.
I have 8 years as an EFL teacher in Hong Kong. As a result of studying the language, I speak also basic Cantonese. I have fluent French, written and spoken; some basic Spanish, conversational German, some Tagalog (Filipino).
I am a keen writer, Spoken Word Performer of poetry and drama, member of The Scottish Association of Writers, Federation of Writers Scotland. So I can help with any writing:-
discursive essay; personal-reflective; short story; poetry; novel-writing and drama; university dissertations, PhD theses, both undergraduate and post-grad, as I have proofread and edited both of these in the past.
As said above, I have tutored for 28 years. I have also been a writer since leaving university in 1984.
I taught in 2 high schools in Highland Region Scotland, 4 in Hong Kong and many in the West of Scotland. I have led writing workshops, have been in writing groups since 1985, have many examples of published work.
I work 1 to 1 very well. Once I have identified areas of strength and weaknesses, I work on those areas which need most attention. I have many testimonials from former students to confirm this- all available on request.
If you are a parent reading this, I have two children of my own, a young man of 28, studying to become a Maths Teacher at university as a mature student, a daughter of 18 at university studying Psychology in 1st Year (@ 2021). Confidence-building is the most key thing I do. Most students lack confidence- and someone who listens very carefully to what they say! :)
