About Shona
I am a writer predominantly focused in literary fiction and I have been facilitating writing groups over the last 12 months which I run both online and in person. I also run creative writing workshops. I have recently moved into tutoring in years 11 and 12 English with students who learn at home.
I am a trained TESOL teacher with in person classroom experience, and so am very comfortable in the classroom setting.
I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree at the Univeristy of Newcastle and I majored in English with a focus on Creative Writing. I minored in Drama and have a long history in theatre. I have also done a considerable amount of film study.
With all of this combined, I am well suited to people doing textual study, semiotics, comparative studies as well as creative and academic writing.

While I believe that there is a time and a place for instructor based learning, when working as a tutor, I believe a student based approach is most appropriate. Each student has their own reason for engaging a tutor, has individual needs and is coming to the tutor to have those specific learning needs addressed.
I believe in fostering an environment of support and comradery, and empowering the student to feel that they are reaching their own self determined goals at a pace that suits them. My lessons are structured specifically to the needs of the student and I commit to becoming as familiar as possible with their course materials so I am able to sucessfully meet them where they are from the first lesson.

Recommendations

Shona and I met through the local Toastmasters club where I continue to be amazed at her articulate, clear, and passionate presentations.
As the current President, she leads the meetings very competently.
I attended one of her recent writing classes and found her way of presenting information clear and informative.
Shona is a highly skilled listener as well and is very adept at helping students individually.
I feel Superprof members have a lot to gain from her warm, intelligent, and engaging teaching skills.I have known Shona for five years now. She is a talented, confident and patient teacher who knows her material and imparts her knowledge in an easy to understand manner. We attend Toastmasters together where she supports members and the club in a professional way. Her coaching skill is much appreciated.

It is possible to book my services by the school term, so if a session is missed, it is possible to reschedule at a workable time and possible to move to online lessons if unable to participate in in-person learning.
Rate is variable depending on learning focus. Group rates available.
