Tutoring Approach
• to develop the skill sets and confidence you need to achieve your specific communication goals, with SMART objectives set from the first class
• to apply methodologies designed to activate your ‘thinking’ and ‘doing’: we typically all learn by trying, making mistakes, reflecting, then improving
• to provide detailed feedback on your progress and guidance on independent learning outside of class
