I am a second year English PhD student, having completed my undergraduate and master's degree here in Liverpool. My studies focus on linguistics, specifically stylistics and psycholinguistics, while integrating elements of environmental linguistics, qualitative and quantitative research methods, and work on cross-cultural literature, such as Chinese, Indian and African literary texts. I can offer a rich and wide-ranging service: on the one hand, the expansive and diverse nature of my PhD research covers a wealth of topic areas; on the other hand, I teach one of the third year English language modules, and have marked a number of undergraduate essays over the past year, so I have a strong understanding of the qualities required in essay writing. Moreover, by studying English as a subject, I have a good grasp of the mechanisms of writing and language, which has allowed me to cultivate my critical thinking skills and foster my confidence in writing. I hope to help you do the same!

My particular areas of interest are referencing, essay structure, critical thinking, understanding grammar and syntax, and developing an argument. I welcome any requests and from any subject across the university, and I look forward to helping out with any issue - big or small!"
