Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
English, Humanities, Media Studies and Essay Writing. I can support essay writing across the full range of arts and humanities subjects, including English, History, Sociology, Media, Politics, Philosophy and General Studies up to degree level. I also offer beginners' Greek, GCSE and A Level.

Tell me about your qualifications.
MA Media Production (Birmingham City University)
BA (Hons) English and French - First Class (University of Birmingham)

What kind of experience do you have?
With a first class English degree, I am an expert essay writer and have coached several students towards first class papers and dissertations.

I have over five years education experience. Having worked as a media tutor for several years, I then moved up to managing arts and media education projects. I have delivered the City & Guilds in Media Techniques and I am an Arts Award adviser. I am currently helping students towards their A Levels, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in areas such as Linguistics, Sociology, Religious Studies and Politics to name a few.

I believe tutoring is also about real world knowledge and skills. I have extensive practical media and journalism experience, having worked at the BBC and as a copywriter for Channel 4. I am currently contracted by a leading development agency to run a cultural leadership programme for young Londoners (13-25). This rewarding work compliments my role as a tutor and keeps me in touch with young people's hopes and expectations.

My speciality is essay writing and I can support this across the full range of arts and humanities subjects, including English, Linguistics, Media, History, Sociology, Religious Studies, Philosophy and Politics.

I am also a fluent Greek speaker and can tutor you through GCSE and A Level, or run a more casual conversation class for individuals or groups of beginners.
