I’m a postgraduate researcher, currently working as a government monitoring and evaluation officer, and an education professional specialising in academic writing, study skills, and decision-making about education and careers.
I work with older teens, university students, and adults who want to think clearly, communicate confidently, and make well-grounded choices — not just “get through” assignments.
My sessions are structured, calm, and research-informed, making them especially effective for motivated learners who want depth, clarity, and long-term improvement.
About My Approach
My work focuses on helping learners:
-> organise their thinking
-> understand why strong answers work
-> write with clarity and confidence
-> develop independent study strategies
-> make thoughtful decisions about education, work, and next steps
This approach is particularly valuable for students who feel capable but mentally stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to progress.
Because of this depth-focused approach, my sessions tend to produce lasting improvements, not just short-term fixes.
Who I Work With
I typically work with:
-> older secondary students (14–18)
-> university students
-> early-career adults
-> learners returning to education
-> people navigating academic or career transitions
-> French-speaking students
Some of my students are:
-> bright but under-confident
-> overthinking
-> unsure how to structure ideas
-> capable but not performing at their best
What I Support
I offer online support in:
-> Academic writing & essay structure
-> Study skills & independent learning strategies
-> Critical thinking & argument development
-> Research skills
-> University-level support
-> Career and education decision-making
Session Style & Practicalities
-> 60-minute online sessions
-> Structured but supportive
-> Learner-led (I usually ask the day before what you want to focus on)
-> Calm, focused environment
-> Clear boundaries
-> Suited to learners who value depth and clarity
My rate reflects:
-> postgraduate-level expertise
-> research-informed methods
-> personalised, high-attention support
-> and a focus on long-term capability building
