Tutoring Approach

My teaching tends to draw on the works of critical pedagogy - especially bell hooks and Paulo Freire - to provide praxis learning, where the student and lecturer engage on a level, drawing on practical experience and examples, in relation to and in response to academic research and theoretical insights from the disciplines being studied.

I believe in creating a supportive, nurturing, intellectually stimulating and academically focused environment, tailored to the needs of and level of knowledge of, my students.
