Jacob Lewis

MEDIA MANAGER

Jacob is a part of our marketing team who runs the blog and our social media accounts. In addition to his work for us, he is a History and Politics student at Queen Mary, University of London. 

In his spare time he enjoys playing the violin, nature walks and board games. Feel free to message our social media pages asking for music or board game recommendations as well as help in selecting a course that is right for you!

We believe the hallmark of any good distance-learning school is the level of support provided and how much encouragement, motivation and contact with the Tutor is available. 

From the beginning of your course you are assigned your own personal, skilled tutor whom you may contact as often as you like. We encourage unlimited dialogue between you and the Tutor. Our specialists are there to provide as much assistance as you might need, and to encourage you constructively along each stage of the course. 

Our Tutor selection criteria requires all Tutors to have at least a tertiary qualification (there are sometimes exceptions to this rule where experience out-weighs qualifications) and 5 years industry experience. They must also be active in their industry, and demonstrate a willingness to be student-focused. 

Not every Tutor is fit to teach by distance learning. Issues such as poor communication, uncaring attitude and unclear expectations can easily ruin a students home study/distance learning experience. In addition to the above selection criteria we also, require Tutors to have the following qualities: 

a. An Encouraging Attitude
Distance Learning Tutors need to be helpful and encouraging.  Tutors who can make a student smile with her/his words make all the difference on any given day when it comes to student morale. 

b. Patience
We look for Tutors who can demonstrate that they can be patient with their students. A caring Tutor will contact a student either by email or phone and spend time with the student, addressing any issues they might have with the course material. Taking time to explain questions and ensuring the student has an understanding of the lesson before moving on to the next topic, is essential if the student is to have a rewarding learning experience. 

c. Technological Competency
We expect Tutors to be competent with IT since this is the medium used by most students. ADL offers IT support when needed. 

d. Motivation Through Feedback
We look for Tutors who know how to motivate and be able to provide Tailored feedback (not generic) when marking assignments. This part of the learning process is essential to improving students understanding of their subject matter.
