About Aleksandra

Over the past couple of years at the University of Cambridge, I have specialised in English, undertaking a PhD and an MPhil. Earlier, I attended Utrecht University, completing a BA Hons in comparative European literatures, linguistics and languages, including modules in English, German and Dutch, which also involved research internships at the Universities of Sheffield and Heidelberg. Beyond literary and linguistic studies, I have regularly also crossed into art, history, politics, philosophy and related disciplines, including as part of research, editorial and other roles at the Cambridge University Press, Edinburgh University Press, Amsterdam University Press and elsewhere.

At Cambridge, I have for the past over four years also provided instruction and dissertation supervision to a number of first- through to final-year undergraduate students (predominantly in English Studies, but also extending into Comparative Studies), as well as assessed and moderated applicant entrance examinations and interviews (including the institution's proprietary CELAT and CMLAT). Outside of the Cambridge supervision system, I have at the same time been offering individually tailored private tuition, as well as assistance with critical, analytical, research, reading and writing skills (through a number of platforms, including this one but most extensively through FirstTutors.co.uk). Beyond this, I have also been offering assistance with proofreading, editing, translation, interpretation, and other language skills (most extensively through ProZ.com).

For those interested in advanced university-level instruction or assistance (including at MA level) of the kind I have also offered at Cambridge, my specialism is in English language, literature and related social, cultural, political and philosophical developments of the period 1830–Present. For those interested in less specialised university-level instruction (including at BA level) or in earlier stages of education (including IB, EB, A-Levels, GCSEs, and comparable stages of education), I also offer assistance with additional periods of English; additional and comparative literatures, linguistics, and languages; as well as within a number of adjacent disciplines which have prominently featured in either my education, employment, or both, including political and social studies, philosophy, history, and art history.

I am especially capable of imparting and improving students’ critical, analytical, research, reading and writing skills, all of which can be transferred across subjects and be of aid with extended pieces of coursework, assignments and examinations alike. I assist regularly both outside of and at Cambridge with a wide variety of academic, critical and creative pieces of work (including numerous manuscripts, articles and briefs, the occasional PhD dissertation, MA dissertations and modules, BA dissertations and modules, A-Level EPQs, IB EEs, NEAs, and more).

As I am aware of students' different personal and educational backgrounds and learning profiles, I ultimately aim to structure my lessons around each individual. If a student is therefore able to provide previous of current syllabi, express particular interests, or else particular difficulties (whether due to a lack of experience, confidence, or a background that has traditionally been marginalised by schools or universities), this is always useful for me to know. From there, I aim to structure my lessons so that they are both very active on the part of the student (drawing much from the Cambridge supervision system I am used to working within) and allow for frequent, detailed feedback both in-session and outside of it (including in the form of assignments completed in-between sessions and submitted to me for detailed annotation and discussion in-session, from whence it can be incorporated into future work).

I am available for appointments online and in-person in Cambridge (depending on location), and can work very flexible hours around my schedule (from early mornings until late evenings on a number of days throughout the weekdays and weekends). I am also open to inquiries from those who require a more unconventional approach (whether last-minute appointments, late-night availabilities, or other unconventional circumstances often arising from abrupt and imminent deadlines).

Details

Once a time and a place for an appointment have been agreed upon, in order for the appointment to be confirmed and the reservation held, payment ought to be completed within 24 hours. In the case of last-minute appointments, set to take place within fewer than 24 hours, payment ought to always also be completed prior to the appointment. This serves to allow the tutor to set aside time for the appointment, prepare for it, and go over and annotate any work to be discussed in the appointment.

Once a time and a place for an appointment have been agreed upon and confirmed, all cancellations are, at the tutor's discretion, 100% refundable when made no later than 48 hours in advance of an appointment, 50% refundable when made no later than 24 hours in advance of an appointment, and non-refundable otherwise.

The tutor reserves the right to conclude the tutoring relationship at any time in the event of non-payment, consistent cancellation, or otherwise inappropriate or unprofessional behaviour.
