Content

  • Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

    "“German and Spanish are accessible to foreigners: English is not accessible even to Englishmen.” - George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion
    We are continuing our study of “Pygmalion”, which may be better known as the film “My Fair Lady”. ""Pygmalion"" is a play by George Bernard Shaw, first performed in 1913. The play is a social commentary on class and the power of language and transformation, wrapped in a comedic narrative. It tells the story of Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, who makes a bet with his friend, Colonel Pickering, that he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a strong Cockney accent, into a lady who could pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party.

  • This is Block 2 of 3 - the previous Block should be watched prior to this one.

    As part of our studies, we will develop our understanding of character and context and focus on language and structure, as well as stagecraft. We will also watch some relevant film clips.

“The group is wonderful, the classes are great, the teachers are awesome and my kids feel they belong to a community. They've made real friends with whom they spend hours chatting and playing. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't find this group.…. you have made a gigantic difference in many people's lives and have contributed greatly to ensuring many kids enjoy studying and grow up happy and mentally healthy and that is pretty amazing.”

“You're pure genius. It’s given us a lifeline! There are no words I can say to describe just how incredible it is to have amazing teachers at our fingertips to teach my daughter (and all the other kids here). Because of YOU and all the TEACHERS here, I am able to take my daughter out of an environment that wasn’t suitable for her and still give her a good education, that's so affordable, at home where she feels safe and comfortable. ”

“The way you’ve structured The £2 Tuition Hub clearly comes from a deep and personal understanding of what anxious/ND children and young people need in order to be able to engage with and enjoy their learning. I’d honestly be lost without your work, so big thanks to you and the rest of your team. ”

Laura, Parent

“....The Enterprising minds course has helped her to be able to do a business plan and her accounts. I/ we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all in the hub. When we started HE 2 years ago we were thrown in it and wasn't sure that we would manage it. But the help all the Teachers have provided via the hub has really made this unfamiliar journey not only bearable, but enjoyable. ”
