Personal Description:

I am a 23 year old working professional currently based in Letterkenny. I am currently working in the public affairs sector, working diligently on legislative matters among other projects.

I have obtained both a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Arts in International Public Policy and Diplomacy, and in History and Politics respectively. I have achieved a high second class honours grade one in both.

Current political affairs, 20th Century Irish History (particularly in Northern Ireland and early 20th century Irish history), EU affairs (past and present), American mid-20th Century history (Cold War) and World War 2.

Tutoring Experience:

I have gained valuable experience in essay writing, showcased by two dissertations I have written, based on: the Irish War of Independence (undergraduate) and Human Rights Law (postgraduate).

Thanks to my academic experience I am well versed in essay writing, research, presenting my work whilst also delivering a large volume of assignments in both history and politics - thoroughly expanding my knowledge base.

Approach to Grinds:

Firstly, I aim to encourage students to expand their knowledge and understanding of the subject, attempting to create both enthusiasm and keen interest in the subject(s). I am keen to foster contribution while believing that value for money is paramount.

I understand and appreciate that each person has different characteristics and skills which make them tick and I aim to use this to the students’ advantage, creating a dedicated learning plan with various stages of feedback to both student and parent confidentiality.

Fostering a level of trust and understanding is key in creating an interest in the subjects.
