If you are looking for a good grounding that enables you to understand how the media operates in the UK, I am an industry expert having worked in the national newspaper arena and can deliver a comprehensive set of workshops covering all aspects.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

I specialise in news gathering, teaching the structure of news, how it is gathered, processed & presented. The structure of the news room (paper/tv/radio/web) how to write, how to research, organise news coverage and a specific interest in photo journalism. I teach creative writing, features, hard news, sports writing, media skills across the board, work based learning and script writing for tv and radio.

- Tell me about your qualifications.

As a photojournalist I have basic training in Fleet street based agencies Keystone Press and Associated Press. After completing the apprenticeship I moved to the West Country to join Devon News Service - the lead agency in the south west at the time. Here I undertook numerous tasks setting up features, syndication & district offices in Plymouth & Bristol. I later launched my own agency employing up to 20 people (writers. photographers) and worked closely with all the national daily & Sunday titles as well as all the major international publications.
In educational terms I hold PTTLS & CTTLS, the latter of which is equivalent to 50% of my degree (done part time as I continue to work). I hold the post of Associate Lecturer at Exeter College teaching HE News Journalism Foundation Degree level.

- How much do you charge?

I charge £40 per hour on a one to one tutorial basis and mileage is applicable @35p per mile.

- Where do you teach?

I teach at home or can go to the student. I live in Tiverton, which is between Exeter & Taunton. I am happy to travel as long as the mileage is covered to Bristol, Dorset, Plymouth, Toruqay, all of Somerset & Cornwall.

- When are you available?

Apart from Monday mornings I am available throughout the rest of the week, as my work patterns are very flexible. I can work from 9am to 6pm or if required evening sessions can be done as well.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

HE & University Student level from 16 onwards which tends to be from about 18 onwards.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I can prepare them for A level, Foundation Degree & BA Hons degree

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

Lesson plans on news gathering are already prepared and delivered to the student with covering notes. They are also available to be sent on CD if required.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

Stay focused and work hard. You are spending a lot of money to earn these qualifications so you need to be fullly aware of everything going on around you. Read your papers, listen to the radio, watch the news and don't forget that you only get out of it what you put in and the world does not owe you a living.
