Adult education, continuous learning

Do you want to raise your grades? Is your lack of proofreading skills a-ffecting the quality of your work? Have you seen the charge per 1000 words of a professional proofreader? Are you unsure of the di-fference between a colon and a semicolon? Can you never remember which there/their/they're to use or when you should use 'practise' or 'practice'? Do you regularly find you have exceeded your word count but are not sure how you can prune it? Do you need help writing in a more academic style? If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions, this book is definitely for you! It should turn you into a wizard at proofreading, grammar and punctuation, full stop. (Pardon the pun!) Students who have used Clare's book have invariably raised their grades and greatly improved their punctuation and grammar, not to mention their vocabulary, their ability to proofread their own work, and their overall confidence in academic writing. This guide aims to bring quality, grammatical accuracy and a degree of finesse to your work.

Clare has been teaching from the tender age of four, when she set up a school for friends, giving them sums to compute and poems to compose! She gained an Honours degree in English at Durham University and later a Master's degree in Educational Studies at York St. John. After beginning her 'adult' teaching career in a primary school, she ran a unit for pupils with specific learning difficulties in a secondary school and then went on to work with dyslexic students in further and higher education. Her first book, Spelling Made Magic, distilled all the tips and tricks she had taught her younger pupils, while Punctuation Matters! is aimed at students from GCSE level through to university and beyond. Clare has two daughters and two granddaughters, and lives with her partner in West Yorkshire.
