Advert description
My approach: I take a developmental approach that builds both subject understanding and writing skills. I don't believe in just handing back a page covered in red pen. I sit with you, figure out where the confusion actually is, and work through it together. We'll work through the tricky topic you just can't seem to click with. Some sessions might be about understanding the subject, building your confidence with the theory, the arguments, the "why" behind it and others may be about getting that understanding onto the page clearly.
I've spent years lecturing, marking, and doing my own doctoral research, so I know what strong subject knowledge and strong writing both look like, and I know how to help you.
Lessons: Usually an hour, but tailored to the student's level and what they're working on, whether that's exam prep, an essay draft, or a dissertation chapter.
A bit about me: I'm a PhD researcher in Social Work, A sociology graduate and university lecturer who's taught seminars, marked hundreds of essays. "I have written in academic journal papers and presented at many international conferences. I know exactly what examiners and markers are looking for at every level.
Who it's for: A-Level students strengthening exam technique and essay writing; university and postgraduate students working on essays, dissertations, or academic reports; and ESL students preparing for university-level study who want stronger academic English.
