Baking—The Chemistry of Sweets and Improving Your Baking Skills
course price icon
From 23 C$ /h
arrow icon
Learn how to improve your baking skills by building a better knowledge base. How the order of ingredients matters, methodology, or why certain ingredients work better than others. With a better understanding of how baking works, it's easy to create substitutions, for example to accommodate gluten free, vegan, dairy free, and other restrictions. Learn how to read and interpret recipes, and how to alter them if needed!

My specialty is sweets, including cakes and cookies, squares, pudding and pastry cream, macarons, and more!
Extra information
The thirty minute class is for theory. To watch me bake, or to bake along, I recommend a longer class time.

About Me
Hi! I'm a young creative writer. My passion has always been English and writing! I write novels, primarily Speculative Fiction (mostly sci-fi), and for Young Adults. I enjoy engaging in academic discussion and debate, and I love teaching people new things. I encourage my students to ask questions and challenge concepts, or otherwise engage critically.
My tutoring method involves working with my students interests in order to showcase concepts. I work hands on with their work, proving gentle comments and praise, explaining as I go.
I also do crochet! I've been crocheting since I was a child, and was taught the basics by my grandmother before teaching myself the rest. Being creative is what I love.
Education
I've graduated from UBC with a Bachelor's of Psychology. I am a creative writer, and have written a novel that I've sent off to publishers. I will be going back to school for my English degree in the fall.
Experience / Qualifications
I have done English tutoring in the past online, teaching creative writing and critical analysis, alongside helping with beta reading and critiquing.

If you're a writer or a student, improve your skills with this class. Learn strategies, concepts, and techniques for writing. Writing begins with reading! For creative writing, I will teach analytical skills as well as strictly writing skills. For academic writing, I will teach how to improve your work based on past critiques. For both, I will look at your work and provide gentle comments and praise, explaining what was done well and what could be done better. Learn how to tailor your voice for the task, how to implement theme or prove your thesis, and how to add depth to your work.

Academic writing is a part of every student's career, up your grades and prove you know what you're talking about! I also have experience with IB, if you're looking to boost your extended essay.

If you enjoy writing as a hobby, or have ambitions for something more, rookie, intermediate, or even advanced, learn tips and tricks here!

Whether you've never touched a crochet hook before, or you're looking for new skills to add to your repertoire, this class can teach you the basic skills you need to work on your projects. Learn how to make stuffed animals, or gear up for winter!
My grandmother first taught me how to crochet when I was young, and I picked it up properly after high school. I've now been crocheting for eight years, and haven't needed to buy winter gear since. In the last couple years I've picked up making stuffed animals and amigurumi, good for decorations, kids, ornaments, and more.
Let me know what level of tutoring you want, so I can tailor your experience to your needs.
