Sarah S.
Wilfrid Laurier University
A thoughtful and detail-oriented writer
I have worked in education for over five years now, specializing in transitioning first-year students to second-year. My motto is to be a learning partner in the educational process. Therefore, I try to adapt to the needs of my students and adjust my practice to best suit their needs. I have extensive experience in editing and proofreading a range of assignments. My approach to assisting a student with their writing is to begin by doing a diagnostic test to see where they are at as a writer, specifically with syntax, grammar, organization, citation, supporting material, etc., then I create lessons that best suit the learning style of the student. I received awards from my work in Residence Education and distinction as an undergraduate student with an average of 10.31/ 12. I would be happy to help in history, social studies, English literature, reading, and writing for students between the ages of 8-19.

Rajini C.
Wilfrid Laurier University
English and academic writing tutor
Hi! My name is Rajini and I am an experienced English/ writing tutor. I will help you to improve your writing and literary analysis skills with my tailored lessons. In our sessions, you can expect empathetic, patient instruction and helpful strategies to enhance your reading and writing abilities. I specialize in grammar and expression and literary analysis essays, but I am open to creating custom plans based on your needs. My typical session will consist of us going through a piece of your own writing. Before we look at the writing I will ask a few questions to get an idea of the scope of the assignment and what you think needs improvement. Then we will go through the piece line by line or paragraph by paragraph to find opportunities to improve your grammar, expression, linkage of ideas and spelling/punctuation. Finally, we will wrap up by summarizing the lesson and you can apply the takeaways to future writing assignments. Please note I will not do your assignment for you as the idea is to become a better writer yourself, not just to complete the assignment and forget the process. I pride myself on being thorough and professional but also an approachable and friendly person. Our sessions are for you to ask questions so don't be shy! There's no such thing as a stupid question :^) Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to take your reading and writing skills to the next level! I look forward to setting up a lesson.
