Doctorate: Incomplete at present (2009)

doesn't suit their personal style. Frequently, students suffer from overload, poor organisation or simply can't differentiate between the vital and the trivial when bombarded with work. Some visual learners need assistance in creating revision styles while some students who listen well yet can't record information coherently require help in assembling facts/figures from what they hear. In general, I have had huge success with individual tutoring over the years in many subject areas simply because I...

this language. I can help students with Latin, too, a subject I studied in depth at high school. I like to be friendly with my students, as I believe they should feel relaxed and at their ease while they are studying. Thanks to my experience, I have learnt how to help them achieve the best results and how to help them deal with the pressure of the exams. I usually prefer one-to-one lessons, but I...

that rather than simply memorising a volume of information, you have a useful set of knowledge applicable to situations in the future. I also feel that all learning and revision can be worked in a way that suits an individual. I often struggled with the standard methods shown to me and had to figure out how it was best to approach it from my own point of view, so I can appreciate that different techniques...

Doctorate: PhD English Literature (2019)

summarizing texts, develop diagrams, etc. At the same time, I concentrate on transmitting my studying techniques to the tutee so that s/he can learn to perform by herself/himself. My tutoring always involves the development of good, effective organisational skills as well as the bettering of studying strategies (the development of the aforementioned summaries and diagrams, for example). In my experience, this method is the most effective in granting the achievement of consistently good results, since...

grades achievable as this allows for leverage should the exam be difficult. This entails unpicking and understanding the question being asked. From my years of experience students tend to do better at course work and less well within the limited time constraints of an exam environment. With my special needs students I synchronize with Effective Learning tutors, the Social Work Department and other internal and external agencies to secure the best support for my students.There...

Doctorate: PhD in Classics (2009)

from the students I taught! I am passionate about sharing knowledge, and find that there is nothing more satisfying than tailoring a lesson to a specific student, in order for them to overcome particular weaknesses or problems. It is very important for me to get a very good understanding of the student's needs so I can adapt both the content and the method of the lesson. I am very flexible, and have no problem taking...
