Abstract

I was very tempted to appropriate my friend Helena’s title for a paper she recently gave on this subject. Her title, Can You Do Mondays?, amply, and succinctly, captures one of the major dilemmas of the part-time tutor – that you have to fit your writing and your need to earn a living around so many other people’s timetables.
