I live in Brisbane and am on Australian Eastern Standard Time. I currently tutor online on weekdays only, during my mornings (which suit students living in the United States and Canada), late afternoons and evenings (which suit students living in or close to my time zone, including the Republic of Korea and Japan).  

Please reach out to me for session availability or if you have any questions at all regarding these sessions. I look forward to seeing your child in class and working with them!

All sessions are conducted through Zoom Meetings. 

This is an ongoing class offering 1:1 tuition in writing skills. We will work together in a collaborative setting, exploring all stages of the writing process. For younger students, this may entail focusing on sentence structure (simple, compound, and complex) and writing engaging paragraphs. For older students, we will delve into different writing styles, including narrative, persuasive, expository, and analytical. A rough outline of our writing process will be: pondering ideas and building a solid premise or thesis; planning a sound, cohesive framework with topic points, details, and concluding links (introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion); drafting our written piece; editing for clarity, eloquence, and flow; and publishing our final copy. 

Classes can be weekly or twice-weekly, and for however long. Optional weekly writing tasks with marking and feedback is included.

Please note this course is personalized for each student! I will tweak and tailor the lesson content depending on students' age and individual academic goals. Our overarching aim for this course is to nurture confidence and a love and appreciation of words and writing. 

I will assign optional weekly writing tasks for students to practice and extend what we've covered in class. Please could completed work be returned two days before the next class, to afford me the opportunity of providing feedback.

I am a qualified teacher with a degree in English Literature and Poetry. I have over sixteen years in teaching experience, and have been a private online tutor for the past five years. I also have a TEFL qualification which I obtained many years ago (in 1997!), and welcome all ESL students.
