Our tutors

Student feedback on how their legal academic writing and or referencing skills have improved is a highlight of my day and motivates me to improve my students’ learning.

Teaching at the OU was always my first choice. I can be involved in academia whilst practicing law at the same time. I enjoy the fact that I can teach students from different backgrounds, especially that this also sometimes poses a challenge and allows my skills to be developed. 

My advice to students would be to focus on what you want to achieve with your degree and work hard to fulfil your potential.

On the theme of belonging, I have been involved in evaluating a peer mentoring project aimed at reducing isolation for Level 1 students.

I absolutely love what I do with the OU. Not only do I get to deliver some really excellent teaching materials but I work with some amazing students.

I really enjoy empowering students, reassuring them they know more than they think by making the subject more understandable and relatable.

Our students are unique individuals and teaching them has given me the opportunity to re-examine and reinvigorate both my subject expertise and pedagogy, creating a mutual learning environment.

I wanted to work with students, so i worked for three years at Sheffield University in Residence Life supporting students in halls of residence, before moving into full time teaching.

One of the things I enjoy most about my role at the OU is working with students from a broad range of backgrounds and supporting them to achieve their degree ambition.
