[MY TUTORING]
University essay writing can often seem confusing and daunting, and due to several reasons outside of their control, tutors are not always able to give you the detailed feedback that you need to really develop as a researcher and writer. Having assessed more than 200 essays from first year through to third year, I know what it takes to write a great essay, and I understand what examiners look for when marking university work.
I'd be thrilled to show you how you can improve your written work by applying the same techniques that I did. Over the past few years, I have assisted students from a range of disciplines, including:
- History
- Music History
- Literature
- Philosophy
- International Relations
- Politics
- Public Health
My feedback style is detailed and direct, yet friendly, personalised, and always supportive. My goal is to empower you with the skills that will allow you to write each new essay with more confidence than your last one. Depending on your needs, I can help you:
- Get started with the research process
- Clarify and sharpen your arguments
- Fine-tune your written expression
- Work on essay structure
I work with a range of written formats, including:
- Long-form essays
- Shorter written assignments
- Conference paper scripts
- Abstracts
- Research proposals
- Statements of purpose
If you would like feedback on something else not listed here, please don't be shy to reach out! No two students are the same, and I make sure to tailor my feedback using a combination of Track Changes and comments.
My standard turnaround time is 5 business days; shorter turnarounds would depend on my availability.
If you have any questions, please reach out and I'll be glad to hear from you :)
