My approach to tutoring students in their academic studies is to encourage stream-of-consciousness writing with no judgement ('just do it'), which we then work together to edit; I support you to practise skim-reading for gist and key points; encourage you to write memos (short summaries) for each of the readings you do, so you build up a resource bank of materials to continuously draw on and avoid the feeling of information overload. I encourage and support you to focus on good habits including low-tech living/ regular social media switch-off, sleeping well and daily hours outdoors. These down times allow your brain and body to rest and recharge and enable knowledge processing, idea generation and free thought. One of the hardest tasks when producing assignments, or academic papers is finishing it. I provide accountability coaching to support you to get writing out of your head, off your desk and into the public domain.

Sumi is an excellent teacher who provides self confidence and trust to her students so they can independently in the future think through and start up new projects.
She worked with my 11 year old daughter and other children from our community in starting a pay it forward project in our town which included working with coffee shops and bakeries or food vendors so that people could give charity to others through them. The project was a very big success which opened the heart of all the participants and empowered the children in understanding that they are also able to infuse cooperation and empathy in adults. We will always be grateful to Sumi for her enthusiasm, creativity and care in building this project for our community. It brought together children and adults in a purposeful and fun activity.Sumi is a really reliable and consistent tutor. She knows her subject inside out. She is also very patient and takes time to make sure everything is understood. I have always found her trustworthy and professional, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone studying Sociology.
Sumi taught both my daughters on a social enterprise project in our town. The workshops Sumi led involved designing, creating and delivering a charity initiative in the town. My girls were so inspired by the project and learnt so many new skills, mostly research and communication skills. I only wish Sumi ran more of these projects which help students with their self-directed learning. Thank you!
