I have been a practising artist in a variety of media, including illustration, comic art, design, film production and editing, animation and Web design. I have worked with all kinds of organisations and individuals over the years and have worked in a wide variety of fields. My experience as a practitioner gives me a useful insight into the practical applications of learning and I use this in my tutoring.

Tutoring Experience

I am a skilled, experienced practitioner of art, design and English, with a Masters and PhD under my belt, as well as several years experience of editing, 2 years of teaching experience at undergraduate level, and 15 years of community arts where I worked with participants of all ages and backgrounds.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is to put the student first, working with them to establish the learning style and approach best suited to them. I use inquiry based learning, where I encourage students to suggests topics they would like to learn, and tie this to the relevant module/subject/curriculum. I also use project based learning, which can aid in cross-disciplinary study and allows students to take their time to explore topics and subjects of interest.
