Tahir Rashid

Every session is built around you. Before we begin, I'll ask what you're working on, what's confusing you, or what you'd like to get out of our time together — and we go from there. There's no one-size-fits-all approach here.

My style is broadly discursive: rather than simply giving you answers, I ask questions that help you think things through for yourself. You'll find that you often know more than you think — sometimes you just need the right conversation to unlock it. This approach builds genuine understanding rather than surface-level recall, which makes a real difference come exam time or when you're sitting down to write an essay.
Sessions can take a number of forms depending on what you need:

Discussion-based exploration — we dig into a topic together, challenge assumptions, and follow the ideas wherever they lead
Reading guidance — we work through a text or set of readings, unpacking difficult arguments and making sense of the bigger picture
Essay feedback and writing skills — I'll help you structure your argument, sharpen your analysis, and write with clarity and confidence
