communication & philosophy tutor
A qualified secondary school teacher (GCSE Religious Studies, AS & A2 Philosophy of Religion, Religious Ethics), in previous incarnations I've been paid to write intelligent web content, and for editing and proof-reading academic publications. I enjoy helping people structure and express their own ideas well on paper. Maybe I can help you?
I also enjoy getting to grips with other languages, so while not an expert linguist, will happily help someone else through the initial stages of anything from Biblical Hebrew to modern Hindi (if I can).
For writing, I can deal by email (i.e. with samples of your written work), or face-to-face (if geography permits). One-off sessions or ongoing progress review possible. Languages ad hoc.
Offering: private lessons and group classes.
Aimed at: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
Ages: 14 +
