I will help you convert confusion into crystal clarity through my patience and extensive knowledge. I always go the extra mile to ensure that my students reach their full academic potential.
I am patient, kind and caring. I have a way of making subject matter exciting, relevant and easy to remember. I am also great at explaining things in a concise, easy to understand manner.

I majored in Psychology and I have a passion and thorough understanding of the subject. I have over 7 years of Psychology tutoring experience and I hope to share my knowledge with you.

I recently graduated from Oxford with a master's in linguistics and studied English during my undergraduate degree. I won the "Best Detective" award for the highest marks in my English seminar group. I am always reading and I have a special ability to translate Shakespeare into normal English!
Linguistics
I recently graduated from Oxford with a master's degree in linguistics. I have a knack for languages and an excellent understanding and passion for the subject of linguistics. I can turn the muddy fields of syntax and morphology into crystal-clear pools of knowledge.

I recently graduated from Oxford with a master's degree in linguistics. I am an avid reader and have an excellent grasp of the English language. I excelled in this subject and hope to help you do the same. I also have the superpower of translating Shakespeare into normal English!
Research
