This is so good. I love the "critical parents" in your outline. So helpful.

Thank you, Heather!! I'm so happy to hear that :)
If only youtube had existed in 1976 and someone taught me how to study physics, I might not have quit after 1 year.
I don't even intend to go to college, but a lot of this info is still really useful for just like, personal study :3 thanks!
great idea! i had brilliant tutors...including malcolm bradbury, david lodge, stuart hall, richard hoggart, but i was young, ignorant and foolish at the time, and now have many regrets about not reading nearly enough as prep, at that time....and all those treasures that i missed and want now to rediscover. i really dig your energy and enthusiasm!

Your story sounds like mine, Gillian! I count myself lucky I had such great teachers back in the day (I even sent some letters years later saying thank you), but their wisdom was mostly lost on me - many years later I have access to it and now won't waste it! And thank you for your kind words!! :)
i'm an elementary English learner and your way of talk is very persuasive and fun. thank you from Japan.
I would love to have you do this series!
Thanks for your advice. I will begin in October my first English semester here in Germany. I hope that I read more English books.
Hi, I love your videos!! I'd really be interested in a video where you talked about why you like literature and reading! As someone who is also obsessed,, I find I can easily talk about all the books/poems/authors I like but I can never quite put into words why I like literature as a whole (because I just do)?? I would just love to hear your thoughts :)

Thank you, Hannah!! :) That's a great idea for a video. I think I talked about it a little bit in this video, 'Why I Read': kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYiot82EfLDOeNY.html
Please do more of these !
I'd love to see a video on second term! I'm starting English at Cambridge next year and found this really insightful. Currently, really like reading Georgette Heyer's books

I can certainly do a second term video :) Ah, Georgette Heyer is delightful!
This was fascinating and I watched the entirety and may rewatch because it is so rich with info. I love how your mind works. I am currently attempting a deep dive of Virginia Woolf inspired by you. I am American with a Masters in Library and Information Science.

Oh, how I'd love to have this man's mind!
Brilliant!
If you haven't discussed the second term of university, I'd love for you to record a video about it. If you have, please give me the link. Thank you.
Have you broke down Hillary and Trinity of first year and all terms of second and third years?
You mentioned before setting up a reading group. Would you think about a zoom one?
