Question 1

What do you recommend for first-time students?

Accepted Answer

Come for an ad-hoc consultation for your first session, or book a free 30-minute slot where we can discuss your learning needs and find out which option best suits you. I can curate a personalised syllabus with you and share with you what exactly constitutes the kind of insightful writing your teachers and examiners are looking out for.

Question 2

Do you offer trial lessons?

Accepted Answer

For first-time students, I offer a free 20-minute consult in which we cover together exactly what you need on this journey, and where I can give you feedback if you bring along any piece of writing so you can have a glimpse of what lessons with me could be like.

Question 3

Why should I try out a session with you?

Accepted Answer

A lesson with me can come in many forms, and most importantly, doesn’t come with any commitments – you could commit to a long-term session, or sign up for only one ad-hoc consultation, or come with your friends. The abundance of options, coupled with my experience at teaching students at different levels allows me to curate the best possible learning experience for you.

Question 4

What goes on in a lesson? What methods do you use?

Accepted Answer

Based on your specific needs and where you’re at in terms of content familiarisation and skill mastery, I craft a scaffolded set of objectives to achieve by the end of the lesson. Within the lesson itself, we will typically do targeted exercises to help you attain these objectives. By the end of the lesson, you would have produced a deliverable (e.g. a paragraph demonstrating a specific skill, annotations specific to literary device, self-commentary on your essay) that is demonstrable proof of the objectives we’ve attained together.

Question 5
