Essay Writing for Undergraduate History/Archaeology Students

I recently graduated from a Russell Group university where I studied Archaeology. I aim to help undergraduate students in Archaeology, or similar fields, improve their essay writing abilities.

Essay writing skills are key no matter what year of university you are in, and are something that can always be improved upon. We can focus on the basics of structure and referencing, or on more specific aspects needed to get the higher grades- the classes can be tailored to your needs.

We can go through mock essay questions, as well as work you have already submitted, and had returned, in order to be able to see what areas you have to work on most, and- more importantly, what aspects of essay writing you are getting right!

Extra information

Need some way of taking notes.

It would be helpful to know what referencing system your specific university uses, and to have a copy of the mark scheme available.

Dr Tom
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.
