New programme drop!


salve Reader!

I thought I would send you a quick email to share that, following the most positive feedback on my A-Level Mastery Hub, I have decided to launch a companion programme featuring weekly live lessons.

What does it mean for working with me at A-Level?

Now there are 3 different ways to get my support:

  1. Joining the A-Level Mastery Hub, for weekly challenges, great resources and a monthly masterclass
  2. Joining the A-Level Mastery Academy, for everything in the mastery hub, plus weekly sessions including the masterclass
  3. Working with me one-to-one for a most personalised experience, which also gives you access to the A-Level Mastery Hub, bespoke resources and weekly marking and supervision

You can read more about it below, or just reply to this email if you are interested in working with me. You can get started today, so book a call early to find out what the best choice for you is.

salve Reader! I have recently noticed some people adding spelling mistakes in an attempt to make their AI writing look human. If it is you, I am sorry to say this, but it does stick out like a sore thumb! In the same vein, I have heard from students asking AI to make their AI crafted essays look more natural by imitating what a younger learner might produce. (OK, a confession: I love my dashes and I have dramatically reduced their use to ward off any AI suspicions, so we are all perhaps...

salve Reader! Some people believe that because AI can translate and write texts for us, the future of translation studies is a bit bleak. The opposite is true. Let me show you what I mean with an example: Right now, I am at the airport waiting to take a flight to Spain. I have been invited to the launch of a new publishing house. They specialise in beautiful literary translations from Mandarin to Catalan, in physical format. Now, before you ask what the link is between the launch and...
