Visiting lecturer offering tuition in academic writing, proofreading, and university study-skills

I am a visiting lecturer in the humanities and social sciences looking to offer students focussed help in academic writing, essay construction, proofreading, and research methods.

This can be for a one-off consultation on a particular project (perhaps a dissertation), or a tailored course spread over several sessions (to improve general scholarship). Communication can be via email, telephone, and/or online platforms (like Zoom).

Invitation to anyone studying in the arts, humanities, or social sciences. My particular expertise lies in music (theory, analysis, history) and philosophy, and so would also welcome anyone interested in cultivating some knowledge in those areas more broadly two.

Please feel free to get in touch, to discuss your projects.

I look forward to hearing from you.

About Me

I am currently a visiting lecturer delivering courses in a variety of topics, but with a particular focus on music theory and philosophy. I obtained a BA(hons) (first-class), Masters (distinction), and Ph.D from the University of Liverpool, and continue to work closely with such institutions as the Society of Music Analysis, for whom I am the executive officer.

The impetus for my reaching out on forums such as this is two-fold: first, as a response to the current pandemic, which is hampering students greatly; but also because I have become acutely aware in recent years of the need for students to have a broader education, which attempts to cultivate in them a level of scholarship which is otherwise difficult to attain through the traditional university systems.

Education

University of Liverpool: Ph.D (Modulation in a New Key: Towards a Generalised Theory of Non-Diatonic Transformations in the Music of the Early-Twentieth Century, 2018) , Masters (MMus) with distinction, and BA(hons) Music graduating with first-class

Experience / Qualifications

Extensive teaching experience, from private tuition (instrumental and theoretical) to the delivery of lecture courses (covering a diverse range of subjects, including advance music analysis and theory, aesthetics, the philosophy of music, the history of western classical music, and music criticism). Also experienced in peer-reviewing, publishing, editing, presenting, and conference organisation.
Visiting lecturer in music theory, analysis, and history looking to offer private tuition to current students (degree, Masters, or Ph.D) requiring some focused help, or to those interested in cultivating some new knowledge in a fascinating subject. I have experience in private tuition and delivering lecture series at several UK institutions and in a range of subjects, from advanced theory and analysis, to music criticism, aesthetics and the philosophy of music, and music scholarship more broadly. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your projects and musical interests.

Guidance in (scientific) writing and communication.
Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results. From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally. In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student. My most important contributions, especially (popular)-scientific, can be found on my LinkedIn page at the bottom. I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in: - Setup and planning - Doing literature study - Quality assurance - Presentation and structure/content - Popularizing the topics with catchy texts - Review with a critical look - Give layout and design input - And much more Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!

Language Learning Coach- Learn how to learn a language, use it with ease and have great conversations
“I feel stuck” These words I hear again and again, from beginners to advanced. The majority of students who come to me are frustrated. They spent many years studying languages at school. They’ve spent both their time and lots of money. Only to find themselves still struggling to form a sentence. Still struggling to be able to understand a native speaker. If you’re here then I’m assuming you share some of these same struggles. You get confused trying to memorize grammar rules, remember vocabulary, and makes sentances. You don’t know how to learn every day. You get distracted and then you feel too tired to keep going. Believe it or not, I’ve been there too and to be honest, it sucks to have another language is to possess a second soul Charlemage Now, I want you to trust me on your language journey Imagine finally knowing exactly what to do when you sit at your desk to learn a language. Imagine knowing how to learn grammar, how to remember vocabulary and make it stick, how to speak, and how to write beautiful sentences. Imagine going on holiday somewhere and interacting with locals. Laughing, eating, dancing and living life in a different language.
