Personal Description:

Originally from the UK, I have spent the last 7 years in Vancouver studying and teaching English and Social Sciences at undergraduate level. I am a friendly, outgoing and personable individual with many years of experience teaching. In my spare time, I enjoy music, swimming, football and dancing :) LGBTQA+ friendly.

Tutoring Experience:

7 years working as an instructor and leading tutorials for English courses at Simon Fraser University. Courses taught covered literature, language, history, politics and media studies.

Experienced in both online and in-person teaching.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe in meeting students where they are at. My approach involves tailoring tutorials, in a warm and compassionate manner, to address the student's needs and challenges. My classes work towards developing critical thinking skills, preparing for exams, improving reading comprehension and compartmentalizing difficult ideas (utilizing e.g. venn diagrams and online interactive tools).
