I am a part-time lecturer in English and Communication at Dundee College. I have also worked as part of the learning support team at Adam Smith College, Kirkcaldy. I hold a current enhanced disclosure certificate.

My Undergraduate degree is in Linguistics, with a Postgraduate degree in Language and Communication. I have many years of teaching experience. I have a positive attitude and firmly believe that there is no room for negativity in the learning environment.

For over ten years I have tutored both Maths and English. I specialise in supporting those on the dyslexic spectrum, I use my knowledge of the English Phonological system and apply it practically to give poor readers effective tools for improvement. Tuition is obviously tailored to individual needs.

I also enjoy supporting exam students as they work towards improving their Study Skills. I include components such as Critical Reading, Essay Writing, Essay Critiquing, Report Writing and Writing for a specific audience in the course.

Finally, I occasionally help non-native speakers to improve their English. I am TEFL qualified.
