Writing Tutoring & Workshops

You specify your writing needs – I teach you skills for a lifetime.

Are you confused about the difference between a colon and a semi-colon, or between affect and effect? Do you have an idea for an article or a book but are having a tough time organizing your thoughts and putting pen to paper? Or are you a business leader with employees who need a refresher on correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, or appropriate style and tone?

Leaving the university and college classroom after a few decades of teaching language- and writing-related courses left me with accumulated knowledge just waiting to be passed on. I love creating a learning environment where students feel comfortable, affirmed and enthused about grammar and writing. “Why didn’t we learn this in Grade 3?” was a question I heard every term while teaching grammar to college students.

As a consultant in post-secondary writing centres, I worked with individual students and small groups on writing and learning issues. Sometimes students arrived needing help with structuring scattered ideas into a coherent outline. Others came with a first draft needing serious polishing, and some came with specific grammar or writing questions. They always left with knowledge and strategies that would serve them for a lifetime of writing, no matter what genre or topic.

If you need individual tutoring or would like a group workshop tailored to your writing needs, let’s talk. Contact me to discuss the details so we can agree on an appropriate rate for your requirements.
