✨ What I Believe
Learning and collaboration should be flexible, engaging, and goal-driven. I bring a playful, personalised approach to teaching and consultancy — helping clients at all levels break down complex ideas, develop confidence, and move forward with clarity.
🎓 One-to-One Support for Students and Researchers
If you’re working on a university assignment, thesis, or research project, I offer:
Live Consultations (Online)
Need help planning an assignment, refining a chapter, decoding feedback, or clarifying your ideas? In a one-hour session, we’ll tackle the challenges together and develop a focused, actionable plan.
Written Feedback on Your Work
Send me your draft, and I’ll return it with in-text comments, plus a clear summary of next steps to improve your argument, structure, and referencing. Ideal if you’re not getting enough feedback or aren’t sure how to act on the feedback you’ve received.
