Husband, father, writer, teacher, soccer coach, Type 1 diabetic...I wear many hats and I wear them all well. Teaching is my passion. I really believe in the value of education. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is one of my favourite movies and it speaks to the value of education for individuals, their families, and their communities - no matter the circumstances. I look forward to helping you on your learning journey. My areas of strength: writing and composition (essays, academic writing, creative writing), teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), history, social studies, French language (beginner to intermediate).

I believe learning should be enjoyable. Engaging teaching helps us enjoy the process of learning, and allows the information to stick much more easily in our minds.
Hi! My name is Steve and I live in Ottawa. My focus is on English literature since that's what I studied in university but there are several other topics that I help tutor as well. My strengths are patience, communicating in different styles, and creativity in teaching.

Ontario Certified Teacher - English Conversation & Academic/Persuasive Writing
My teaching style is strategy-based. I work with students to help them become more confident, articulate, and specific in their use of language. I do NOT waste time by giving out worksheets and rote homework that won’t help you improve— during our sessions, you will receive 100% of my full collaboration and undivided attention. ******* About me: I am the proud daughter of life-long entrepreneurs with a passion for communication, storytelling, and bringing ideas to life. I like to scaffold concepts to communicate effectively, and I exude strong ambassadorship, adaptive thinking, and a results-driven approach to communication. I have worked with large-scale brands and have been published across several platforms, including SSENSE.com, Reedsy.com, the Seattle NFT Museum, and FELA tv. ******* How I Work: English is my teachable subject and passion! I focus on critical thinking/application, persuasive writing, close reading, debate, and advertising. I am qualified to support English students in the intermediate and senior category, including college, university, and professionals. *Writing Sample Requirement* If you are looking for support in creative writing, essay writing, reader response, English 1/2/3/4 U/C, or post-secondary studies, you must share a writing sample with me before our session start-time. My preference is to receive samples at least 12 hours in advance. If that’s not possible, get in touch with me to see if we can make something work. Samples include reader response, persuasive paragraph, full essay, fiction excerpt, blog post, and any other creative or professional piece that you are currently writing or have written in the past. It can be an outline, a complete first draft, or a piece that has already been evaluated. Samples are essential because they introduce me to your writing style, and a 12-hour advance gives me enough time to narrow down specific areas of focus.
