About Dr Jenny: Dr Jennifer Minter was admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1998: (University of Monash Australia) (Doctoral Thesis: a post-modern psycho-analytical discussion of Patrick White’s novels).
Since then I have worked in Foreign Affairs/Egypt and then transitioned to publishing, writing and co-editing training resources (Aspire Training). For the past 15 years, I have been publishing resources for secondary school students (workbooks and articles on texts for the VCE curriculum) and provide consultancy services to teachers. I also conduct workshops for secondary school students and Zoom classes for students who wish to improve their literacy skills. My current project is a series of “How to Write an Essay on …” series as students need support in structuring an essay on their texts, using metalanguage in deft ways.
