Hello, and thanks for stopping by!

My name is Dalton and I am passionate about the arts in many forms - from writing, to visual, to martial. I offer classes such as:

-Genre fiction writing
-Book clubs
-Martial arts + self defense
-Dungeons and Dragons

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from the University of the Fraser Valley. My experience there instilled a deep love of stories, creativity, collaboration, learning, and teaching. In the years since, I have gained experience as a group tutor for ESL students, worked with local community centres to lead spring break camps, and I have assisted in teaching martial arts at my gym, where I have trained for nearly a decade and previously competed out of.

I believe that learning is best accomplished in a low-pressure, welcoming, and encouraging environment. That encouragement comes in the form of openness and creativity, as students gain the most confidence when they can explore new fascinations and hobbies without risk of embarrassment. That means: positive learning environments only!

In my free time I enjoy training in martial arts, reading all sorts of books, writing novels, playing videogames, and adventuring with my friends and family in Dungeons and Dragons.
