Christopher Brown

I am an experienced Further Education lecturer and teacher educator with many years of experience supporting adult learners at different stages of their education. I currently teach trainee teachers at Level 5 and am also undertaking doctoral study, so I understand first-hand the challenges of balancing study, work and everyday life.

My approach is supportive, practical and tailored to the individual. I recognise that learners have different starting points and levels of confidence, so our sessions will focus on the areas where you need the most help rather than following a fixed programme.
I can support you with academic writing, structuring assignments, critical thinking, reflective and reflexive writing, understanding assessment requirements, referencing, research skills, planning your workload and developing effective study habits. I can also help you make sense of tutor feedback and identify practical ways to improve your work.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Rather than simply telling you what to do, I will help you understand how to approach your studies independently and develop skills that you can use throughout your course. We can work with your current assignments, course requirements or areas you find particularly challenging.

I particularly welcome adult and returning learners, trainee teachers and students studying within Further Education or Higher Education who may need some additional guidance, confidence or structure.
My aim is simple: to help you become a more confident, independent learner while providing friendly, constructive and realistic support along the way.

Together, we will identify your goals and work towards achieving them.
