Experience
I am a serious, systems-led English studies and legal studies tutor. My teaching experience is extensive and my qualifications high. My sessions operate at two levels: the orthographic (technical) and the social (cultural and political). I have found this approach makes for a holistic educational experience, the likes of which are rare. METHODOLOGY I will teach you how to write grammatical sentences using the best grammar and style guides set to print -- all the while offering my own interpretations of them. I will explain to you the English language, and its myriad grammatical infelicities, as it should have been explained to you already. I will instruct you in the cultural and social codes that underlie the literary traditions. These are those same codes that continue to inform the ways in which HSC markers and teachers discriminate between students' levels of intelligence in this discipline (even if they're not always aware of doing so), and which so often remain enigmatic to students. I will engage with you and your work in a detailed and forensic manner, bringing to every clause my critical scrutiny as an academic editor, my wisdom as a master's-level teacher, and my insight as an early-career academic, so as to refine and enhance every sentence you commit to paper. FOR LAW STUDENTS I will function primarily as a research and exposition instructor, but adapt as needed so as to highlight your strengths and assuage your weaknesses. I will also determine your motivation focus (whether you have a promotion focus or prevention focus), adopting methods endorsed by the contemporary psychology research of motivation and focus, in order to enable you to commit to and complete tasks more effectively.
