Information About Andrew:

Personal Description:

My Bachelors Honours degree from Oxford Brookes is in Combined Studies: Media, Sociology and Education. It covers a broader variety of university level disciplines than the average student. This is in areas of History of Art, Sociology, Politics, International Relations, Film Studies, Communications, Media and Culture. In addition I have worked as a lecture transcriber in the schools of Life Sciences, Business and Literature. I understand the importance of focused interest study amid integration in the broader academic and social context.

I specialise in History and Sociology. I have worked with vulnerable adults in a number of roles both socially and academically.

Fees may need to be open to negotiation based on travel expenses.

I am returning to personal tutoring after a five year absence, during which I was employed as an independent researcher and author..

In addition, I am willing to offer one-to-one sessions in comics art Storytelling, blogging. website management, and communications, media and culture. Drop me a DM to discuss.

Tutoring Approach:

Lesson plans are loaded with additional resources for student access after the lesson has ended, fostered by the enthusiasm for the construction of knowledge. I like to teach so that one might teach, that knowledge production be cyclical and generating. I like my lesson plans tight so as to deliver, while including opportunity for communicating with students to ensure an understanding has been gained that will go beyond the session.

I have a kind and friendly manner and great experience as a facilitator. I am responsive to other people's experiential and learned knowledge and a hard, keen worker. Although, truth be told, my harmonica playing needs work.
