US Grade 6 - 9
Intermediate - Advanced Level
In our one-on-one sessions, I'll help you write your novel, novella, chapter book, or short story. I'll help you improve, while also building you up and talking about your strengths. It's very important that you feel confident about your writing in order to get into the flow. On top of our private lessons, I give you a daily guide to help you write, improve your skills, and inspire you, as well as bonus video workshops on writing a novel to help you continue to learn on your own. I ensure our time together is efficient so that you get very good value f or your money. We work on: Novel-writing skills: characterization, plot, setting, world-building, foreshadowing, scene questions, tension, characterization, scene development, character arcs Literary devices: metaphors, similes, alliteration, personification, imagery Multi-sensory language: using all of the senses
Learning Goals
I'll help them improve their writing and finish their draft quickly. No more giving up halfway! I will help you push past that muddy middle and get to the end.

I have many years of experience teaching kids with anxiety, executive functioning challenges, ASD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and I’ve found that creative writing can be a therapeutic and confidence building activity. 1 on 1 lessons can help.
Parental Guidance
I follow whatever the student and parent want. I show examples from books that are meant for their age group.
