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.
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!
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.

Colorimetry: the color theory necessary for visual artists and makeup artistsColorimetry is a fundamental tool to begin to understand the behavior of colors, where they come from, and how to obtain them.
We will see the color wheel, primary and secondary colors, and how to apply them to create different types of palettes. In turn, we will see the triads of colors to generate cold and warm palettes, and you will experience first-hand how to create those colors.
We will also have a brief part of research into pigments (the source of color) and works of art throughout history, to see the use of different painting techniques.
Since we are going to focus in our classes on color theory, it is not strictly necessary that you know how to draw or paint, or that you have knowledge of perspective or others.
This course is designed to complement your knowledge of art and improve your ability to choose the colors and palette you want to work with.
As a bonus, this course will also help you apply your knowledge when applying makeup or applying makeup, since if it is something that interests you, let me know and we will incorporate it into the course. We will see how to apply colors according to the person's eye color and skin tones.
I have a degree in Visual Arts with a Painting orientation from the National University of the Arts of Argentina and a theatrical makeup artist at the Theater Complex of the City of Buenos Aires and I am happy to be able to share my knowledge with you.
If this is what you were looking for, welcome and I hope we start a very nice working relationship!
See you in class,
Camila.

Crochet for beginners (Learn basics of crochet step by step)Crochet can be seen as a form of creative expression, as individuals can use these skills to make unique and personalised items. From intricate blankets and scarves to delicate lacework and hats, knitting and crochet offer endless opportunities to showcase creativity and individuality. It also helps to keep the mind sharp and stimulated, and improves dexterity. It is also known to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety. By focusing on the repetitive movements of knitting or crochet, the mind can enter a meditative state, providing a sense of mental and emotional balance.
