I am an award-winning author, filmmaker, magazine writer and editor. As an educator, I have taught writing at the post-secondary level for a decade and tutored high school students in English composition and comprehension. As well, I help Grade 12 students craft university entrance essays, which are key to acceptance at a top institution. Tutoring online or in person, I help students understand assignment criteria, formulate clear and focused ideas and guide their research, leading to a final, polished product. Under my tutelage, students — high school or post-secondary — hone their critical thinking skills, learn how to structure essays and articles, improve their grammar, refine their writing style and learn the discipline of self-editing.
