I believe that writing has the ability to teach us to think critically and develop our inner lives so that we have a stronger sense of self. It allows us to be witness to our own patterns of thought, and allows us to grow as we strive to question and evolve those patterns. Writing is a powerful tool that can be used to persuade, command, and convince, but it also has the ability to critique and question. The ability to write is a tool for the self, first and foremost, and is a doorway that allows us to access our own mind and be its own master.

My goal with tutoring in writing is to help the student break down the mental blocks that may prevent them from having the courage to just start writing, to help those learn effective tricks for developing plans for essays or other types of writing, and to help students write with passion. I have many books on writing at my disposal which I will be using during my tutoring sessions, and I have attended seminars on writing and planning over my years at the University which I will also draw from.

I am also understanding when it comes to an individual's methods of learning, and can adapt a lesson depending on their needs. I have experience with developing organizational startegies to help with time management when it comes to writing with deadlines as this is something I used to struggle with.

I am located in Sturgeon County, but I can easily access all parts of St. Albert. If the student would be more comfortable with being tutored at the local library or even a coffee shop, that option is available. Leggi di meno

Planning is key! Except sometimes it isnt. Sometimes, we just need to start writing and let the brain-to-pen connection flourish. In workshops, I will introduce concepts such as "inkshedding", help do away with writing anxiety, and conduct fun and challenging exercises to help the student find their writing niche. The goal is that students will come to develop themselves as writers with a skillset catered to their own individual strengths. Leggi di meno
