In Burnaby’s diverse, high-achieving schools, strong English is the quiet advantage. Writing decides grades across every subject — and reading comprehension is what makes the writing possible. Yet neither is taught one-on-one in a busy classroom. A good English tutor closes that loop: the reading skills that unlock a text, and the structure and habits that turn ideas into clear, persuasive writing.
Whether your child needs to catch up or polish

- Stuck on the blank page? A tutor teaches the structure — thesis, paragraphs, evidence — so writing stops feeling like guesswork.
- Reading but not absorbing? Build the comprehension and analysis that strong writing depends on.
- Writing in English as an additional language? Targeted academic-English and essay support.
- Strong but want to stand out? Sharpen analysis and style for top marks and applications.

Frequently asked questions
Is this just grammar correction?
No. It’s about structure, argument, and clarity — how ideas are organized — not only fixing errors. Strong writing comes from clear thinking, and that’s what a tutor builds.
Can a tutor help with reading comprehension too?
Yes — reading and writing go together. Many students need stronger comprehension before their writing can improve, and tutors work on both.
Are lessons in person or online?
Both — across Burnaby, online, or a mix.
What ages do you work with?
Elementary through high school, plus application essays.
