Tutoring & Workshops—from Writing Basics to Word Power

Fellow writers take courses to be on the top of their game. Writing basics are sharpened and honed from sentences to being a wordsmith so the words are there when you want them.

I offer you Skype one-on-one tutoring or local workshops in Penticton, BC, Canada (I am looking to offer these local workshops online at a later date). If you are interested in tutoring or workshops, please email me so I can let you know when and where these workshops are being held. Regarding word power, for the last 10 years, I have personally written sentence after sentence with a new word on a daily basis so I know the value of word studies to you.

A Heartfelt Tutoring Story...

D.D. suffers from autism, but he wanted to learn to write stories. He spent 1.5 years with me and learned basic sentence structure, and learned one word after another. In his final year in high school, D.D aced his communications course--an 'A' Grade. D.D. has now gone on to further career training and is writing stories. Learning takes place at different speeds, and it was my pleasure to teach this wonderful young man.
