What do you do?
- I write engaging and accessible articles and reports on a variety of educational, technical and scientific topics.
- I review, critique and assess reports, proposals and funding bids - existing clients include British Council, DEFRA and the European Commission.
- I can work with you, supporting and advising you as you write bids and proposals, but they won't be the same ones that I review of course!
- I provide face-to-face training and workshops on eLearning, independent learning, assessment and feedback, enterprise and entrpreneurship in the curriculum, environmental management systems and sustainable business development.
-
I write e-learning material and web-based teaching/learning/assessment content [chemistry, environment-related and sustainability-related] both at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
-
I'm starting to do some 'blended' tutoring for A or A/S level and undergraduate level chemistry - a mixture of (occasional) face-2-face and (mainly) Skype-supported tuition. If you're interested in joining this experiment then please email me.
I'll add more information about each of these topics in due course but in the interim just email for more information.
What can you do for me?
Any of the above...
Are you any good?
So I'm told...
How do you work?
By email [mainly] and phone, with occasional face-2-face meetings to maintain continuity if it's needed and if it's practical.
My rates vary a little
according to the nature of the job. For instance, I tend to charge less for straightforward
editing and proposal reviews than for a project that might involve a lot of
interviews or research and travelling, for example.
Before I begin, I normally agree an estimate of the likely price with you, based
on an hourly or a whole-project basis, and provide a detailed project description
and breakdown based on the time I think it's going to take. I always hope to
get it about right, but I will let you know whether the job is going to
take more (or less) time than envisaged. I won't charge any more unless
it's been agreed with you beforehand, in writing, on the basis of a revised and
mutually agreed estimate.
My workshop day-rates are
standard - irrespective of the workshop duration [in units of 1 day]. If you want me to do 2
different workshops during the day for the same, or for different groups,
then that's fine - make the maximum use of me whilst you have me on-site. I charge a separate agreed amount for any associated travel costs (and
for any subsistence or accommodation costs, but these are not unusually necessary) - all are charged 'at cost'.
For reports, I think
it's good practice to circulate draft material to relevant personnel to ensure
that the content is factually accurate. I also understand that people appreciate the
opportunity to comment on how key points are presented and will do my best to
take those views into account.
Finally, I'll consider
any budget constraints that you may be working under, and try my best to come up with a
cost effective solution for you.
Why should I hire you?
Because I'm sure that I'll cost a fraction of the price you'll pay compared to the big environmental consultancies, training organisations or publishing houses - and what's more, you get a personal service and you know where to find me.
Is there anything you don't do?
Nothing with defence industry or tobacco industry clients thanks.
