Questions are answered in the Tuesday Open Live Sessions

Procedure

This session is the way I manage all my student’s admin.

Procedure

In recent years I receive a very high volume of AI-generated spam. Despite the best software I must filter through over 100 very realistic reading emails daily, which is time-consuming and as a result I miss communications.

This is also a matter of time and getting to know you. From years of teaching, I know that issues that can be resolved in a single live Zoom session can often take days of back-and-forth emails, so this approach, whilst perhaps not conventional, is significantly more expedient.

These sessions are recorded but not published and this it the way all admin is resolved because it is a direct and efficient conduit for managing the small administrative tasks and I can make sure my students receive the necessary support. By handling issues personally during these sessions, I can provide immediate responses, which is a far more expedient method than lengthy email exchanges.

Please do attend.  If you can’t show put your camera on you can always use the chat.

PLEASE NOTE: there are no live sessions during the School holidays. Please use WhatsApp for emergency our select Contact Us section for other options.

If you would like to ask a question please fil in the form below. The sessions are NOT shown on the catch up, so you will need to attend live. You are muted and asked to be respectful of the other students in the meeting.  It is an open session and I am happy to chat with people once I have answered any questions sent in, and I have enough time.

Sessions are 45 minutes long. I am very sorry, but this is the time limit as I deal with private matters, accounts/billing issues from 4.45pm – 5.30pm  – please mention this in your message or in the session and we can have a private meeting
