Meet Wendy

I'm an experienced English tutor and social science lecturer with international teaching across all levels and ages, with a depth of academic and professional expertise that informs every lesson.

Teaching

I taught English as a foreign language in Italy, covering Cambridge, Trinity, ESOL, TESOL, and all CEFR levels from nursery and elementary through to business English for adults. I have also lectured and tutored Middle-Eastern students and published academically in the Gulf.

Academia

I have seventeen years of university study, a BA in Divinity from the University of Edinburgh, an LLB from the University of Dundee, an M.Litt in Pharmaco-Economics from the University of St Andrews, and a PhD in Linguistics and Dementia. I am experienced in tutoring students with learning disabilities and have held live-in positions supporting students with significant physical and neurological disabilities through their degrees.

Advocacy

I have drafted data for mental health legislation at Scottish government level, represented individuals with NHS complaints, and completed Part 1 of the post-graduate diploma in counselling. I am able to address problems connected to studies as well as family, addiction, depression, ageing disorders and stress.

How I Work

01

One to One

Every session is just you and me. No outsourcing, no platform. I understand the need for a confidential space and service. I have taught across Italy, the Gulf, and Scotland at every level, and I am comfortable with the problems of disability and personal difficulty.

02

Real Depth

Seventeen years of university study across Divinity, Law, Pharmaco-Economics, and a PhD in Linguistics and Dementia have given me a broad experience of personal dilemmas, problems with social interactions and tasks connected with studies and work. This background isn't decorative. It shapes how I approach every problem.

03

Practical Help

I can help with essays and dissertations from primary school through to PhD level. NHS access and admin, DWP forms, CVs, and legal letters. I understand problems connected with organisations that are there to help but too often overlook the individual. I will approach your needs with care, skill, and full confidentiality.

In Practice

How I can help you

Personal Attention

You work directly with me. Not a platform, not a team. Every lesson, every document, every phone call. I don't divide my attention between clients and I don't pass work on.

Complete Confidentiality

Your work and personal matters stay private. Nothing is shared or discussed beyond what is needed. I have worked in fields where confidentiality was not optional, and I bring that same standard here.

Academic & Practical Expertise

With degrees in Divinity, Law, Economics, and a PhD in Linguistics & Dementia, I understand what universities, employers, the NHS and institutions expect. As those services get harder to access, I have the skills to navigate what you can't see your way around.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting in touch. If your question isn't here, just call or send a message.

Everything you send stays between us. I don't share documents, discuss your research, or store files longer than necessary. Your personal affairs are your own.

It depends on the length and complexity of your work. A single chapter might take 3–5 days. A full dissertation typically takes 2–3 weeks for parts, sections, or levels. I'll always give you a clear, honest timeline before we start.

Phone or Zoom, whichever you prefer. I respond quickly and keep you updated on progress. You can reach me directly on 07932 934336.

With 17 years of university study across Divinity, Law, Economics, and Linguistics, I can work with research across most disciplines. I also provide PA services including NHS and DWP paperwork, legal letter writing, CVs, university applications, and personal statements. If it involves clear English and someone who pays attention, I can help.

Yes. I offer personal assistance with administrative and legal paperwork including NHS complaints, DWP forms, and benefit applications. I can draft letters, make phone calls on your behalf, and help you find a way through systems that aren't always straightforward.

Prices begin from £15 for a simple PA email or letter. Standard 50-minute tuition or dissertation assistance is £33. Dissertation and thesis work is quoted per project after discussing the scope. Payment is typically in two parts: a deposit to begin, and the balance on completion. Bank transfer accepted. Discount for group tuition and low seasons.

Yes, and I would say this is one of the areas where I am most useful. Returning to education after a gap, or taking on a qualification later in life, brings a particular kind of pressure that younger students don't always face. There can be a loss of confidence, unfamiliarity with how universities work now, and sometimes a real difficulty asking for help. I have worked with people in exactly this situation and there is no judgement here, only practical support.
