Duration : One 2 hour session. - Price : £25.00 - Place : HamiltonEssay writing is a skill which isn't taught thoroughly in many schools. And when it has the opportunity to be taught - it can be taught from a very singular perspective, and therefore transcribed in a somewhat linear manner - arguably reducing an essay to a general group of collective paragraphs rather than what I believe each essay is: a story.

In my opinion, strong essays should consist of -

Balance / fluidity / coherency / context / academic colloquilisms / purposeful tangents / references / analysis / structure / examples / irony / and above all - ideas.

An essay is, essentally, a conglomeration of ideas, supported by evidence which then builds to a musically crescendo-like climax. A well-written essay is a work of art, and should be revered as such. Essayists such as Daniel Tammet reveal the true power of how impactful an essay can be upon even the most intellectual academic, when emphasis is placed upon the correct word, in the correct context. Essay writing is not simply 'analytical' writing. And it WILL take time to master. But, there ARE very slight, simple changes which will take root immediately and subsequently improve your writing, reading, and even speaking without delay depending on your enthusiasm.

Course setup

I am NOT a disciplinarian. An informal, calm, undemanding atmosphere is my preference, and as teaching is my passion I often remain as long as necessary without acceleration of cost. For example, if I stay for 80 minutes then I will still only cost an hour. My teaching method includes asking what my student wishes to improve upon after identifying their strengths. I base my classes upon gradual progress within a diverse range of the syllabus, although depending on my student I will specifically focus upon a single aspect of their writing skills e.g. essay-writing - if alternative elements of their English are strong. I am thankful for any student who genuinely wishes to learn, and I would be grateful for the opportunity that any student or parent gives me to assist in education.
