Catherine Garson Outstanding Academic Writing Tutor
No reviews yet

I am a dedicated Writing Tutor and Mentor, who guarantees improved results. I am able to work in many knowledge areas and across disciplines. I focus on the aspects that need attention, while also drawing out students' strengths. I meet the student exactly where they are, academically and personally. I offer my full support, but encourage students to become more autonomous as their self-confidence grows. I am an excellent listener with high EQ. My efficient and bespoke tutoring programmes are designed for maximum impact. I give honest and constructive feedback. Creating an atmosphere of mutual trust, I make sure that students start to enjoy their writing work. I encourage humour in our interactions as this helps students to relax and be more receptive. At the end of the tutoring program, my students are more confident academically and personally, with demonstrably improved performance.
