So you`re stressed and agonising over that essay you can`t write, or that text you can`t get your head around? And you have an exam on the way! It can be daunting to say the least. But that`s where I can help you.

After graduating as an actor from Drama School, I spent 5 years working extensively in all levels of the education system, from School Students all the way up to Consultant Doctors. The one thing all of the people I mentor or tutor say again and again is "I never saw it like that" and that`s crucial to what I offer. My focus has always been on taking seemingly abstract, complex and confusing material and making it accessible using my unusual slant on things. And I can use this to help you overcome the obstacles in your way.

My approach is tailored to the individual, and is therefore flexible to suit their needs. But central to it are the following criteria:
- Building core competencies relative to the subject: Essay writing, objective analytics, attention to details and how to expand on them.
- Identifying obstacles specific to the student. Using coaching techniques, tasks and conversation to help them overcome it.
- Exploring alternative view points and helping to develop a wider understanding of the material in context.
- Building confidence and competency in bringing knowledge and skills to the subject in question.
- Basic exam technique, focus and stress-relief to help think analytically under pressure.
- Public speaking, presentation skills and ownership of the text if required for a public speaking role.
