I'm an experienced academic with a successful record of mentoring students of English, Literature and History

I am intelligent, meticulous and dedicated whose flexibility and eagerness to learn makes me uniquely adapted to adjusting well to new roles and experiences with good humour.
I can communicate with people from all walks of life, I am a confident, affable and dynamic public speaker who is equally comfortable whether delivering a lecture for his students, engaging in a workshop discussion, presenting at a national conference or just following up with stakeholders one-to-one to ensure everything is going okay.
Ultimately my key strength is that I engage myself with any task or challenge with a positive perspective, an open mind and a genuine desire to learn and develop myself from the experience and an enthusiasm for inspiring this same passion in others.

I have experience in giving specialized subject lectures in both English Literature and History as well as delivering workshops on the key skills needed for these and related disciplines in the Humanities.
This includes teaching students:
- How to Close Read and analyze texts
- How to create a persuasive argument
- How to find supporting evidence for your interpretation
- How to write essays to a high standard
- How to engage in independent research
- How to select or create rewarding assessment topics
- How to format work for specific audiences
- How to present information in different settings and develop presentation skills
- How to argue and counterargue in written work and debate settings
- Valuable tips and tools for avoiding common errors in student work.

And more, I am always happy to discuss with students what they hope to gain from my lessons and see if we are a good fit for one another.
