LoginDouglas - Lancaster tutor
Information About Douglas:
Personal Description:
I have a BA in English & Sociology & an MA in Religious Studies in which I specialised in eastern philosophy and philosophy of religion. I read widely & have a genuine passion for learning & enjoyment in communicating this to others.
Teaching Experience:
I am a qualified teacher with 10 years' experience of teaching in schools & 6th form colleges. For the last 8 years I have worked as a Head of Philosophy & Religious Studies at two prestigious colleges in the north-west. I also have plentiful recent experience of one-to-one tuition in that one-to-one & small group academic support tutorials formed a significant part of my most recent position. In the course of the last two years I have delievered well over 200 hours of such tutorials. I have taught Philosophy, Religious studies, & English Literature, but my academic background & experience equip me to tutor students in the generic skills of essay writing, reading & synthesis & research skills across the range of Humanities subjects.
Tutoring Approach:
I am a creative & sensitive teacher with the ability to understand & address the specific needs of a tutee as an individual & tailor my approach accordingly. My primary concern would be to assess your particular requirements & tailor my approach accordingly, thus gaining maximum benefit from our sessions to enhance your studies. My approach is holistic & skills-based & is concerned with igniting a passion for learning by first developing the skills that allow you to enjoy your studies & enhances your life. Developing skills breeds confidence & allows learning to become a joy rather than a chore. My approach, therefore, is centred around helping you to develop as a successful student in the fullest sense, rather than developing tricks & techniques that simply disguise weaknesses & will not, therefore, lead to long term success.
