Essay Writing for Your Needs: A Practical Class With Active Feedback
Writing is a powerful means of communication, not only to convey your intended message but also to show people your level of knowledge, expertise, and meticulousness. This requires critical thinking, organisational abilities, and strong language and grammar skills. Often, people are good at speaking but fall short in their written communications, but they do not understand what is lacking. I have designed this course as a practical solution for such gaps in language skills. Your lessons will be customised based on your current written language level and essay writing requirements. You can expect many tips, writing exercises, and constructive feedback!

My lessons are tailored to people in secondary and tertiary education eager to understand and excel in the social sciences and the humanities. If you have trouble with your coursework, need specialised guidance for an exam or simply want an in-depth teaching experience on social science disciplines we can arrange a meeting and talk about your goals. Why choose me? As an alumnus of 4 top-tier European Universities (University of Oxford, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, University of Leiden, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) I have had my scholarship tested in rigorous environments throughout European Academia. My specialisation is in European History and Civilisation but in my 6 years of studying and research, I acquired direct experience in interdisciplinary academic discourse. You should expect the teaching of up-to-date methods in social science and a competitive insight into standardised exams. Teaching method: student-centric individualised approach, exam-oriented materials, extracurricular guidance and recommendations Content of Lessons: My approach is divided into 2 parts 1) Theory and Concepts of the chosen discipline. 2) Building an emancipated studying manner to understand how all social science and humanities disciplines stem from specific patterns of reasoning common in all disciplines. Advice on how to turn an application/exam into an admission for students who wish to enter British, French, Dutch and Greek Universities is included in the lessons. *If you are interested in language lessons please note that I offer lessons in ancient, medieval and modern Greek*

English language and literature guidance and support for IB students
This class guides and supports students through the English studies. My aim is to inspire students to approach the subject in a way that sparks creativity and critical thinking skills. It’s not about helping them with the task at hand, but rather training them in supporting themselves in the subject further down the line. I have received excellent academic achievement awards for my work in IB (International Baccalaureate) English A higher lever course and know my way through the IB language system. I can aid the student in finding the best study techniques, aiming at receiving the best possible final results. I focus on literature and analysis, deep diving into works by authors such as Charlotte Brönte, Frank Kafka and Albert Camus. I can also teach essay-writing, which is essential in achieving good results in any language subject.

Academic writing and research support in social sciences/humanities for undergraduates, postgraduates and early career academics
I am a former University Senior Lecturer with over 20 years experience in teaching and research. I am passionate about inspiring individuals to aim high. I have assisted multiple students and early career academics to achieve their goals. I worked in research and teaching roles within UK universities between 2004 and 2024 and am an Advance HE Fellow. I am the author of four books, have published in a range of international peer reviewed journals and have chapters in various other books. I also have significant experience in peer-reviewing for academic journals. After a twenty-year career in UK higher education I decided to embark on my own freelance private tutoring and academic consultancy business. I have delivered bespoke 1:1 tutorials to university students since April 2023. I was a part-time private tutor from April 2023 to June 2024 and have been full-time since then working with various tutoring agencies. I teach social sciences, qualitative research methods, study skills and academic writing and I have assisted students from undergraduate to PhD level. I have also assisted early career researchers or those new to teaching at the higher education level. I believe that students learn best when they construct knowledge for themselves rather than passively take it in, so all my classes are student-centred and aim to help you become an independent learner by improving your skills so that you can perform better in your assessments. I offer online lessons. A typical online lesson is 1-2 hours. I can also read, review and provide detailed feedback on your work if required.
