I have worked with international students and immigrants to Canada throughout my career. As a writing coach, I focus on providing support for each student individually, as everyone has their specific needs. My goal is help build confidence in academic writing and assignments. I specialize in helping with brainstorming, developing critical thinking, and writing with clarity and cohesion; as well as APA formatting and style.
