English Tutors in Brighton

I am an intelligent, professional and reliable freelance writer and tutor. I have been tutoring for a few years now and mostly specialise in helping secondary age learners achieve their scholastic potential in English Language and Literature, as well as in History. I also specialise in teaching Academic Writing skills to learners of all ages up to undergraduate level and have some experience teaching English as a Foreign Language. I have an inclusive, empathetic, and engaging pedagogical style that is not overly didactic and which makes the learning style of the pupil and the idiosyncratic manner in which they assimilate and contextualise information the fulcrum of the learning process. If the fact James I and VI had a penchant for his male courtiers causes him to stand out in your memory, helping you to remember the date of the Union of the Crowns, then so be it (24 March 1603, in case you were wondering). I believe in presenting as much detailed and contextually rich information as possible, in an exciting manner as one is able, in an attempt to spark the mind from there. I am relatively new to the world of online tutoring and can't wait to welcome new students on an exciting academic adventure.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to teach others how to fish and you create a life sustaining tradition. Teach a man on the history of fishing, and you innovate an industry forever... I am an artist, a scientist, a writer, a traveller, a performer, but above all, I see myself as an assistant to the young of today and tomorrow. The future is daunting and adulthood is no walk in the park, but what got me through the trials and tribulations of education and the 'grown-up' world beyond was the care and insights shown to me by certain teachers, mentors and coaches throughout my academic and professional career. Wise words, life-hacks, learning techniques, revision materials, research methodologies - they are some of the tools they gave me, which I hope to impart. I have years of teaching experience in a range of creative subjects in South Africa, Cyprus and the UK. Maintaining a broadly scientific, creative and theoretical education to a postgraduate level has honed my skills in the art of communicating across multiple media for the purposes of disseminating information. In a world where education is paramount and where digital and social media are the future, it is my intention to harness the power of analogue and digital communication for the purposes of educating and empowering the generations to come. As hommage to the great educators in history which have shaped the great minds of today, it is my maxim to assist in the learning and provision of support to those students who wish to achieve their greatest potential and achieve the levels of success they are capable of achieving. All it takes to attain ones full potential is the right encouragement, appropriating the correct teaching methodologies, communicating with ones students in a way that we mutually feel heard and understood, and creating the platform for ones students to practice their craft or learning with guidance and support.
