About Anna

Let me help you improve your academic performance, whatever your subject area. I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic potential. I believe in making sure that each person develops the ability to learn how to study effectively on their own.
If you are taking A-levels, vocational qualifications, undergraduate or postgraduate courses, I have a wealth of experience and knowledge which you can tap into for tactics and strategies for studying. I have worked extensively with international students, mature students and people who are new to studying or returning to academia after a break.

Background and experience
After a successful career in property research in London, the study of martial arts took me to Japan for twelve years, where I taught English at the YMCA language school in Kyoto, then Politics and Study Skills at undergraduate and postgraduate levels at a number of Japanese universities. I have taught students as young as five and as old as sixty five, individually, in small groups and large cohorts. On returning to the UK I worked first with the long term unemployed improving their job prospects. Since 2008 I have worked at the University of Leeds, supporting students, researchers and staff to enhance learning, teaching and research, both face to face and through developing online resources. I am currently a PhD candidate in Japanese Studies at the University of Manchester.
Other skills and interests
I speak fluent Japanese, Japanese Proficiency Test, Level 2, 2003. I have international travel experience, both as solo traveller and as a group leader for student field trips to Paris, Venice the USA and Canada; I completed a solo 1100km cycle tour in the heat and humidity of a Japanese summer; and I relocated from Japan to the UK without boarding a plane. Teaching and learning in the martial arts is the focus of my PhD research.
