About Brendon

- What kind of experience do you have?

Much of my experience in university lecturing has been connected with Teacher Training, whilst I have taught on several other courses such as Combined Honours. I have enjoyed extremely high student satisfaction scores in the National Student Survey. In particular, students wrote that I valued each interaction: listening and trying to help improve performance. I am by nature competitive and impart this spirit to my students in their work and career ambitions. I am an encourager and will try to understand you as a learner and work out your precise needs. Please read my testimonials by past and present students. These outline clearly what I can offer you as a learner. There is, I think, a certain consistency in the tone of these responses so I am happy to let others speak on my behalf here.
Whether you are currently struggling to cope with university work or close to a first class degree classification, I can help you to push through the grade boundaries. I have done this many times with students; my expertise and encouragement will give you the best possible chance to make sure that this progress takes place. I have presented research on many occasions including lecturing on board cruise ships! Thus, it is fair to say that I possess a certain flair for helping students to present well. In particular, I can help you prepare for a winning academic presentation or ensure that you succeed with that job interview. With the latter, my role begins with helping you find out exactly what the employer wants, structuring your written application accordingly and then delivering excellence in the presentation.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

Lecturing is a results industry and I have great experience in helping students to achieve success. Suzie and Hannah are two students I have worked with and these are their (extended) testimonials:
* I began my academic journey in September 2013, attending MMU Cheshire. Not having a great deal of confidence in my academic abilities, naturally I was nervous. On top of that I was also the oldest in the cohort by some twenty years or so. Brendon McGuire was assigned to our cohort as lecturer and for that reason I will never ever forget my first year at university.
Brendon had a profound impact on me as a person and my academics studies. His kindness, faith and belief in me were unprecedented. Lectures were engaging, essays set were interesting and challenging and all feedback was constructive; all designed to encourage and enhance future work.
If it had not been for Brendon, I truly believe I would not have achieved my goal of First Class Honours (2016) and neither would I be embarking upon a Masters Degree. I owe him a debt of gratitude, one which I doubt I will ever be able to repay.

Suzie,, Masters Student.


It is safe to say, Brendon McGuire is one of the key reasons I am lucky enough to be in a profession I love today. Throughout my study at Manchester Metropolitan University Brendon was not only extremely knowledgeable, but he relayed it in a manner in which was accessible to all. He knew how to challenge me as well as support me when I needed, and I know this to be true for many. Brendon's nature made it very easy for him to form strong relationship with his students, his open door policy meant that I felt at ease coming to him for both academic and personal advice.
Most of all Brendon made me feel as if the professional sky was my limit, and university was only the start. For this, I will be eternally gratefully.

Hannah, BA (Hons) Student
