    PhD English Literature graduate & Microsoft Sales Manager with +10 years teaching experience (university and private)

    Hey there, good to e-meet you!


    I’m Jeri, 33, Irish, and have been living in Uruguay for the past year. Full time, I manage a sales and project management team in Microsoft’s consultancy division, and I have been teaching English for over 10 years.

    About Me

    Hi there! I'm Jeri, 32, Irish, and working full-time as a Sales Manager for Microsoft. I am a published academic, and 3 years ago completed my doctoral thesis at the University of Leeds, 'Chivalry and English Drama, 1575-1625'.

    Education

    European School of Brussels 1 (88.56%) - 2006-2010
    BA English, University of Bristol (2.1) - 2010-2013
    MA English, University of Bristol (Distinction) - 2013-2014
    PhD English (University of Leeds) - 2016-2021

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have been a private tutor for 11 years now, in addition to 3 years of academic teaching (undergraduate seminars) at the University of Leeds during my PhD (Shakespeare Studies). Although English Literature, and its Renaissance period especially, is my natural forte, I have had over 30 long-term tutees across English Literature, Theatre Studies, History, Sociology, Psychology, Childhood Studies, and French and Spanish.

    Additionally, I teach English as a second language. As such, I can offer support in rewriting and reworking academic assignments into standard formal English.

    My approach depends heavily on the student, as I tailor classes to suit individual needs. Depending on your requirements, I suggest an initial session to get to know each other and to unpack your learning objectives. From there, I typically build a learning/teaching plan which we work through in a shared document (Google).

Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking are essential fundamentals to truly master a language so we will have a lot of experience during our sessions in all of them depending on the student's needs.
