Support for real writing

The Tutoring

Bill teaches students to become writers who can think, organize their thoughts and express themselves independently.

With a vast background in journalism, he focuses on teaching how to have something worth saying, and then how to make a reader want to keep reading it.

Tutoring with Bill will be:

  • Professional instruction from a seasoned writer

  • Development of writing skills without the use of AI

  • Personalized with learning goals based on individual student’s skills and needs

Tutoring with Bill will not be:

  • Grammar lessons - but grammar may be taught as needed along the way

  • Homework help - but homework assignments may be used as guides or examples

  • Boring

Tutoring is available for Grade 9 and up including post-secondary.
