Anita's last completed Anthropology job with Tele: Occasional - Hi! I am currently a Medical Sciences student in my fourth and final year in the University of Edinburgh. I have decided to take a Medical Anthropology course this year and am finding it very interesting. Within this semester I will have two essays to write, that will count for my course grade. Although doing well in a course called Health, Illness and Society ( a sort of medical introduction to sociology and anthropology) receiving a 68% in my essays. I am looking on pushing this up to at least a 70% (first class) and would like some additional help to do so. Thus, I will not need regular tutoring, perhaps only a few sessions nearing the submission deadlines (there are two essays one due in 4 weeks, and the other the end of November). Similarly, I am happy for the feedback to be received over email. Do you think this is something you might be able to help with?

Higher Education - Experience in teaching, marking and moderation on both undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes including supporting thesis writing. Subjects taught include Sociology, Social Policy, Education Studies, Teacher Training, Teacher Education, Family and Community Studies, Childhood Studies, Research Methods, ESOL, English for Academic Purposes (EAP). I have supported students studying at University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, Warwick University, DeMontfort University LSE, UCL and IOE amongst a number of other institutions around the UK.
I have been working as a tutor for almost three years, tutoring undergraduate and graduate students in a range of subjects in the social sciences and humanities. Prior to this, I taught undergraduate students in anthropology at Brown University, an ivy-league university in the United States. I additionally have experience teaching 16-18 year olds on university-preparation courses, as well as A-Level Government and Politics students at a private sixth form college in London.
I've worked in higher education for a quarter of a century, with about a decade of that being at Cambridge, and most recently, at Brunel. I've taught in the UK, US and Mongolia, so have experience with a wide range of students. Within this context, I've taught academic writing, and I've helped dozens of students, both undergraduate and post-graduate, design, research, and write dissertations and other substantial pieces of research. As someone who has lectured at the University level, I've not only helped numerous students but I've also graded an even greater number of dissertations.
What this means is that not only can I help you with the writing, dissertations, coursework, I can help you understand why markers and instructors look for certain things. In other words, I can help you understand what we as graders want to see and why. And, as importantly, what we don't want to see and why. This makes for a much stronger dissertation, as you can use you own style and abilities to address what markers will feel are key issues, even if they aren't always spelled out.
