Brendan

Hi, my name is Brendan, a writer, researcher and educator from Eastern Canada. I’m a big nerd, and love everything to do with the humanities: essays, poetry, writing, philosophy, philology, religious studies and fiction… I’m happy to get into the weeds with it all! My undergraduate degree was in Classics, but I have a broad foundation in the history of European thought, from antiquity through the Early Modern period, the Enlightenment, Age of Revolutions and Modern philosophy. In my free time I run a book club and co-host an ancient languages translation group (Latin, Ancient Greek, Norse, Old English), I play TTRPGs and board games with my friends, I write for my substack blog, and I climb! If I had to pick out two specific strengths that I can teach, it would be these: —Academic writing/editing: I’ve spent the last 7 years of my life getting really good at planning and writing papers, and I must say, I’m pretty good at it. I graduated top of my class from Dalhousie, and have won a cumulative $50,000 in scholarships and prizes for my academic work. I can take you through the whole process, from coming up with a thesis, through finding good sources, building the structure of an argument, actually executing that argument, and editing. —History: The study of history is more than just dates, names, events, and old books. History is our attempt to understand the world today by understanding the story of how we got here… and that’s a very, very complicated thing to do. It’s a great subject for people who have trouble choosing between multiple interests, because to excel at history you need to dabble in literature, philosophy, languages, cultural studies, economics and more. I’m from a family of teachers and educators, so I’ve been around classrooms all my life—I’m excited to bring you into my own.
