Darren - Cardiff tutor






Information About Darren:


Personal Description:

I am PhD student at Cardiff University. My broad background subject is Media Studies, but my main area of interest is media, politics, and journalism (theory). I have strong reading, writing, and research skills so I can offer help in a variety of disciplines.



Teaching Experience:

I teach seminars to undergraduate degree students at Cardiff University, so I do already have experience of teaching (and marking) in my field of interest. The degree that I teach on is Journalism, Film and Media, which concentrates on a variety of media-based, political, and social topics.

I have also been a student mentor at secondary education level so I have one to one experience of tutoring from this work as well.



Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is similar to that of my class-based seminars: I teach in a friendly, relaxed, encouraging and open atmosphere. I like students to engage by exploring their own ideas and questions as much as possible to ensure that they are fully involved in gaining an understanding of the subject concerned.

I always take a constructive and positive approach to teaching to ensure that students feel comfortable and confident and can learn in a productive environment at all times.
