About Me

Hi there! I'm Jeri, 32, Irish, and working full-time as a Sales Manager for Microsoft. I am a published academic, and 3 years ago completed my doctoral thesis at the University of Leeds, 'Chivalry and English Drama, 1575-1625'.

Education

European School of Brussels 1 (88.56%) - 2006-2010
BA English, University of Bristol (2.1) - 2010-2013
MA English, University of Bristol (Distinction) - 2013-2014
PhD English (University of Leeds) - 2016-2021

Experience / Qualifications

I have been a private tutor for 11 years now, in addition to 3 years of academic teaching (undergraduate seminars) at the University of Leeds during my PhD (Shakespeare Studies). Although English Literature, and its Renaissance period especially, is my natural forte, I have had over 30 long-term tutees across English Literature, Theatre Studies, History, Sociology, Psychology, Childhood Studies, and French and Spanish.

Additionally, I teach English as a second language. As such, I can offer support in rewriting and reworking academic assignments into standard formal English.

My approach depends heavily on the student, as I tailor classes to suit individual needs. Depending on your requirements, I suggest an initial session to get to know each other and to unpack your learning objectives. From there, I typically build a learning/teaching plan which we work through in a shared document (Google).

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)
