English Writing, Creative or Academic. Learn better writing skills!

If you're a writer or a student, improve your skills with this class. Learn strategies, concepts, and techniques for writing. Writing begins with reading! For creative writing, I will teach analytical skills as well as strictly writing skills. For academic writing, I will teach how to improve your work based on past critiques. For both, I will look at your work and provide gentle comments and praise, explaining what was done well and what could be done better. Learn how to tailor your voice for the task, how to implement theme or prove your thesis, and how to add depth to your work.

Academic writing is a part of every student's career, up your grades and prove you know what you're talking about! I also have experience with IB, if you're looking to boost your extended essay.

If you enjoy writing as a hobby, or have ambitions for something more, rookie, intermediate, or even advanced, learn tips and tricks here!

About Me

Hi! I'm a young creative writer. My passion has always been English and writing! I write novels, primarily Speculative Fiction (mostly sci-fi), and for Young Adults. I enjoy engaging in academic discussion and debate, and I love teaching people new things. I encourage my students to ask questions and challenge concepts, or otherwise engage critically.
My tutoring method involves working with my students interests in order to showcase concepts. I work hands on with their work, proving gentle comments and praise, explaining as I go.
I also do crochet! I've been crocheting since I was a child, and was taught the basics by my grandmother before teaching myself the rest. Being creative is what I love.

Education

I've graduated from UBC with a Bachelor's of Psychology. I am a creative writer, and have written a novel that I've sent off to publishers. I will be going back to school for my English degree in the fall.

Experience / Qualifications

I have done English tutoring in the past online, teaching creative writing and critical analysis, alongside helping with beta reading and critiquing.

Reviews (1)

Sam is amazing, super kind and very thorough.
Learn how to improve your baking skills by building a better knowledge base. How the order of ingredients matters, methodology, or why certain ingredients work better than others. With a better understanding of how baking works, it's easy to create substitutions, for example to accommodate gluten free, vegan, dairy free, and other restrictions. Learn how to read and interpret recipes, and how to alter them if needed! My specialty is sweets, including cakes and cookies, squares, pudding and pastry cream, macarons, and more!
Whether you've never touched a crochet hook before, or you're looking for new skills to add to your repertoire, this class can teach you the basic skills you need to work on your projects. Learn how to make stuffed animals, or gear up for winter! My grandmother first taught me how to crochet when I was young, and I picked it up properly after high school. I've now been crocheting for eight years, and haven't needed to buy winter gear since. In the last couple years I've picked up making stuffed animals and amigurumi, good for decorations, kids, ornaments, and more. Let me know what level of tutoring you want, so I can tailor your experience to your needs.

Essay writing and IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IO
After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing. In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction. We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

Rico (Ph.D)
Guidance in (scientific) writing and communication.
Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results. From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally. In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student. I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in: - Setup and planning - Doing literature study - Quality assurance - Presentation and structure/content - Popularizing the topics with catchy texts - Review with a critical look - Give layout and design input - And much more Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!
