About Anna

Are you reaching your study goals?

Do you achieve the grades you want or need?

Would you like individual help with critical thinking, essay writing or other study skills?

Let me help you improve your academic performance, whatever your subject area. I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic potential. I believe in making sure that each person develops the ability to learn how to study effectively on their own.

If you are taking A-levels, vocational qualifications, undergraduate or postgraduate courses, I have a wealth of experience and knowledge which you can tap into for tactics and strategies for studying. I have worked extensively with international students, mature students and people who are new to studying or returning to academia after a break.

* critical thinking * interpreting assignments * writing essays * extended projects, dissertations * giving presentations * grammar * sounding academic * revising * editing * proofreading * developing an argument * finding information * reviewing the literature * tackling procrastination * managing time and tasks * speed reading * reading tough texts * writing style * revision and exam preparation * IT skills *… and more…*

Background and experience

After a successful career in property research in London, the study of martial arts took me to Japan for twelve years, where I taught English at the YMCA language school in Kyoto, then Politics and Study Skills at undergraduate and postgraduate levels at a number of Japanese universities. I have taught students as young as five and as old as sixty five, individually, in small groups and large cohorts. On returning to the UK I worked first with the long term unemployed improving their job prospects. Since 2008 I have worked at the University of Leeds, supporting students, researchers and staff to enhance learning, teaching and research, both face to face and through developing online resources. I completed a PhD in Japanese Studies at the University of Manchester and now work primarily supporting postdoctoral researchers and fellows at Imperial College London.

Other skills and interests

I speak fluent Japanese, Japanese Proficiency Test, Level 2, 2003. I have international travel experience, both as solo traveller and as a group leader for student field trips to Paris, Venice the USA and Canada; I completed a solo 1100km cycle tour in the heat and humidity of a Japanese summer; and I relocated from Japan to the UK without boarding a plane. Teaching and learning in the martial arts is the focus of my PhD research.
