Postgraduate student looking to give classes in English (literature or otherwise!) in Dublin

Methodology

There is nothing worse than being read a long list of facts about the author or the text in question. I love to talk to people and find the aspects that interest them in the works that they're reading. I love to highlight the human side of literature. In that way, I hope that people make a connection with the work they're studying and grow to have a full and dynamic understanding of the poem, play or novel as the case may be.

Experience

I am a Postgrad student of Psychology with an Undergrad in English from Trinity College. I've given Leaving and Junior Cert grinds in the past and would love to encourage a love of literature, if not an appreciation to the point of getting a good grade!
