About the Tutor:
I came to Brisbane in the early 1960's.Australia has been kind to me. It gave me the opportunity to move from school teaching, to tutoring in the English Department of Queensland University while studying for a M. Lit. Some years later, having completed a post-grad Social Work Degree, I trained with 'Relationships Australia '.
When I retired from this second, counselling career, we moved back to Brisbane and I enrolled at U3A as a student. This was such an enjoyable experience that I applied to join the group of volunteer tutors.
It is hard to believe this will be my 12th year of teaching 'Literature in Context'.
