Nanaimo’s Leading Writing Tutor

Building Skills for a lifestyle

 

The writing courses are designed to give students practical strategies for tackling the writing assignments they receive in the classroom. As a certified writing tutor, I carefully align each lesson with the BC provincial guidelines, ensuring that the skills your child learns can be directly applied to their schoolwork. Whether it’s writing paragraphs, stories, descriptions, or essays, I provide hands-on guidance to help them feel more confident. Through engaging exercises and personalized feedback, students also build a “toolbox” of writing tips they can use in future assignments. My goal is to make writing less intimidating and more enjoyable for every student.
