I started academic tutoring over 6 years ago now with a public tuition centre in English GCSE and A-Level, expanding into tutoring philosophy privately after I earned my MA in Philosophy of Mind and Cognitive Science in 2016.

Shortly after my MA, I went to Austria to teach English and earn my Cert-TESOL. It was then that I had to learn formal teaching techniques, lesson structuring methods, and develop my teaching skills further. After gaining my Cert-TESOL, I liked Austria so much that I decided to take a role as Senior Teacher for a year before returning to the UK in preparation for my PhD.

My academic expertise lies within the field of English Language and Literature (particularly the fields of linguistics, sociolinguistics, creative writing and thematic literary analysis) and Philosophy (esp. epistemology, logic studies, semantics, philosophy of mind and erotetics).
