About Freddie

I am a former editor and business journalist with many years of professional experience who recently completed a PhD in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter. During my time at Exeter, I taught a series of Latin language and literature modules to first and second-year undergraduates. I am also a published academic author. My experience as an editor and journalist has provided me with a unique insight into what makes a good piece of writing and so I have also tutored undergraduate students, both in small groups and on a one-on-one basis, in how to structure their academic essays and improve their writing skills more generally. Teaching undergraduates was one of the highlights of my time at Exeter and I am really keen to continue to do this through tutoring. I am above all a thoughtful teacher, emphasising kindness and respect above all other qualities, who will work hard to make sure I can help my students as much as possible. I also have undertaken extensive formal teacher training through a University of Exeter official programme and am now an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. For the fellowship, I was asked to explore the depth and breadth of my teaching practice and experience, focusing on core values, knowledge, and areas of activity, and had to provide a formal written account of all aspects of my teaching in a document that ran to 27 pages. The process included a detailed written peer review of my own teaching by a senior member of the Classics and Ancient History Department at the University of Exeter. In her written assessment, my reviewer said, “There wasn’t a single moment in which [the students] weren’t completely focused on the task at hand… It’s a clear marker of how comfortable they felt that almost every student participated in the discussion. You took great care to give the students space, holding back at certain points to avoid disrupting their flow, which was really nice to see.”

I have over twenty years of experience as a high-level editor and business journalist, and have recently completed a PhD in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter. My professional experience has provided me with an in-depth understanding of what makes good writing, skills which I have been able to transfer to my academic work. While at Exeter, I taught a broad range of subjects covering literature, history and material culture to first and second-year undergraduates. I marked and graded essays for all of my literature modules. Lessons will be an hour in length. The first lesson will be used to learn more about the student, what they hope to gain from subsequent lessons, how I can help them, as well as determining the type of material that I will then cover so that I can tailor subsequent lessons to the student’s needs and requirements. I will focus on the core components of what makes a good essay: structure, argument, style, referencing, use of evidence, editing and revision. My classes will provide a series of practical pieces of advice which students can apply to their own writing. I will also consider in class examples of their work and advise them on how their writing can be improved.
