True academic success combines two things - deep understanding of a subject and clarity of expression that testifies to this on the page. As a tutor, I take a twin-track strategy that helps students develop both of these skills, giving students the tools to demonstrate the kind of academic engagement that secures top grades.
Beyond this, however, my aim is leave students with a genuine passion for the humanities. There is an old adage that ‘those who enjoy their job do not work a day in their life’ and I believe that the students who succeed the most are those who can lose themselves in the subject. I impart this not only through my own enthusiasm when teaching, but also by making content accessible, relatable and engaging for students.
