About Jake

I am currently completing a PhD in English at Lancaster University focusing on the structures of clone narratives in science fiction. I have already completed a research masters before taking time to teach at London Design and Engineering UTC as an in-school tutor, supporting SEND students and others held back by lockdowns in getting to GCSE standard and beyond. In this capacity I tutored both in-person and online, and developed a proven track record of success in my GCSE students. Though I don't seek publication very often these days, my poetry has previously been published by the Poetry Society, Emerge Journal, Paper Swans Press, among others. I was also a 2018 Tower Poet at Christ Church, Oxford University. I currently run an education organisation at Lancaster University and have offered support to a number of undergraduates undertaking different degrees in the humanities and social sciences.

For my English students I employ a student-centred, skills-based approach that I used to great success during my time at London Design and Engineering UTC to support struggling GCSE students to achieve desirable grades. I emphasise applied literacy and interdisciplinarity, guiding students through their English courses through connections across subjects, especially for students whose interests lay elsewhere. During my time as an in-school tutor, students I worked with for ten weeks saw an average of two grades of improvement (the typical improvement expected over the entire two years of a GCSE course). First free half-hour will be used to determine current skills and necessary development.

For prospective poetry writers I guide students through traditional forms and teach how to deviate from them in creative ways. I teach techniques for developing concepts into complete poems, and further teach them to edit efficiently to produce publishable work.

For undergraduate students, I support development of research skills, essay writing, proofreading, and interdisciplinarity. I emphasise structure and consistency in undergraduate work, and teach academic writing as a genre that has its own language and syntax that can be employed from the earliest undergraduate essays through to final dissertations.
