About Me

Hey! My name is Marlo and I'm from Toronto, Canada, but am currently living in Ottawa! In my free time, I enjoy reading, learning about geography, and traveling - even if it's just around the city. My favourite author is Jules Verne, but my favourite book is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Education

I'm a second year architecture student at Carleton University in Ottawa, and am studying architecture related to conservation and sustainability!

I took Advanced Placement courses in high school (AP English, AP Literature, and AP Visual Arts) and was able to pass the AP exams and portfolio assessment! Not only that, but my strengths in English and art courses have helped me earn subject awards, such as the Writer's Craft award and the AP Visual Arts award.

Experience / Qualifications

I have never tutored students academically, but I have tons of experience teaching a variety of content. This content ranges from teaching karate to students of all ages at a dojo to teaching debate and conference procedure (as well as essay writing) as the president of the Model United Nations club in high school.

With these experiences came the ability to cater my teaching style and speed to different people! Although the lessons will vary from person to person, I will create a list of goals that align with the student's abilities and comfort level.

It is a matter of combining improvements in form with improvements in substance. For this, the sessions can for example take place according to your needs as follows:
a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.
c) A series of precise and pragmatic recommendations and their application through style exercises.

Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:

- Study your text
- Build text, song lyrics etc
- Calmly polish the style
- Research and develop your lexical fields
- Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others

All this by combining theory and practice: Writing work from exercises then as part of a personal project.

During the sessions, you are guided in your writing project. The trainer accompanies you and teaches you the preparation method, gives you writing tools and helps you work on your style and your imagination.

The objective is multiple, including a reflection on one's own literary path, an introduction to the basic tools of style work and exercises on description.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION (IN BRIEF):
➤Unleash your writing skills and finally realize your writing project!
Novels, short stories, life stories, theses, songs or simple texts: these workshops help you overcome your blocks and transform your ideas into vivid and inspiring stories.

➤ Together, we will work to:
-Overcome your fear of the blank page and awaken your creativity
-Develop style, vocabulary, coherence and authenticity
-Creating characters, settings, and captivating storylines
-Explore your imagination, your emotions, and your flaws to turn them into a strength
-Alternating theory and practice with concrete exercises and personalized feedback

➤ Proofreading, correction, optimization of your texts possible.
➤Objective: to write with pleasure, progress faster and bring your project to completion.

➤Let yourself be guided: your dream of writing can become a reality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
➤Exploring and sharing the pleasure of words, building the stories that inhabit you, developing your expression, deepening your creativity, exploring contemporary writing, proposing a novel, short stories, a life story, an (auto)biography, a fiction, an essay, song lyrics, various texts or simply a report, a thesis, a report for professional or academic purposes... these are among the objectives of these workshops to deepen or initiate writing and realize one's aspirations by prioritizing the pleasure of writing based on elements of personalized pedagogy.

➤Overcome your fears and unlock creative inspiration to finally complete your project.

Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.
➤ Overcome your fears
➤ Discover the secret to producing high-quality writing that's 100% enjoyable and 0% writer's block.
➤ Awaken this writer's flame that has been dormant in you for a long time
➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, overcome your fear of writing. Isn't it frustrating to be consumed by the desire to write your project and yet unable to do so? Break down that insurmountable wall that's holding you back.

This involves combining improvements in form with refinements in content. For example, concrete techniques for starting your text and overcoming writer's block, feedback/suggestions on your texts, writing and style exercises based on a prompt, a series of precise/pragmatic recommendations and their implementation.

That is why, if your manuscript is stuck and you don't know how to start or continue it, if you have all the ideas but don't know what form they should take, if you want to save time in the creative process: let's build the architecture of your story together.

Learning objectives include:
• Discover writing, build confidence, let your own literary voice/path emerge, and unleash your imagination
• Studying and constructing a text, song lyrics...
• Calmly refine the style and create consistency between form and content
• Research and develop your vocabulary
• Acquire techniques and know-how to convey your message both clearly and simply
• Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others
• Explore your creativity and develop your expression
• To construct a complete story by creating characters, settings, lively scenes...
• Acquire and master practical writing tools, always with a focus on simplicity/simplification and efficiency (both in content and form)
• Discover contemporary writing and diversify your practice
• Acquire narrative techniques to engage in long stories

So, start, resume or finish a piece of writing you have dreamed of for a long time if you want to write but don't know where to start; if you have a story but don't know how to tell it; if you love to write but have lost your inspiration; if you have a manuscript buried in a drawer and you are afraid of failing.

To achieve this, the first step is to unleash your writing and let go: strengthen your imagination, explore your inspiration, and cultivate your originality. Next, turn your weaknesses into a driving force for writing by exploring your wounds to better utilize them and adopt an effective writing method. Finally, master writing techniques and bring characters to life while crafting captivating stories, controlling pacing, and developing suspenseful plots.

All this by combining theory and practical/concrete applications: writing assignments based on exercises and then within the framework of your project.

During the sessions, you will be guided in your writing project. The trainer will support you in your written communication and offer tools, while helping you to work on and/or optimize your style and imagination.

Proofreading, revising, correcting and formatting articles, theses, etc.: these options are also possible.

Furthermore, these sessions allow one to improve one's written communication and to study the different methods to achieve this (email, letter, report, presentation...), both in terms of content and form.

Chemistry is often taught as a series of facts to memorize, but at its heart, it's a beautiful and logical story about how the world works at the molecular level. As a master student of theoretical and computational chemistry, I don't just teach you what happens; I teach you the fundamental why.
This class is designed for students who want to truly understand chemistry, not just pass a test. Whether you're a high school student grappling with stoichiometry, an undergraduate diving into organic chemistry, or simply a curious mind wanting to understand the world around you, this course is for you. I believe that anyone can understand chemistry with the right guidance.
My goal is to be that guide. I'm here to help you, whether you're feeling lost in class, preparing for final exams, or starting a university course that feels overwhelming. I adapt to each student's unique needs and learning style.

I can help you master:
The Atom and Periodic Table: Understanding the building blocks.
Chemical Bonding: How and why atoms stick together.
Stoichiometry: Mastering mole calculations and chemical reactions.
Solutions and Concentration : Making sense of molarity and dilutions.
Acids, Bases, and pH : Demystifying protons and logarithms.
Thermodynamics and Kinetics: Understanding energy and reaction rates.

And more! Whether it's physical chemistry, organic chemistry, or inorganic chemistry, we can explore it together.
We'll work at your pace, fill in any gaps in your knowledge, and build your confidence step by step.

My goal is simple: to make math understandable in a clear and logical way. Many students think they are "bad at math," when they simply need different and structured explanations.

During my classes, we work on:

The fundamental basics (calculation, fractions, equations)
Algebra
Functions
Geometry
Trigonometry
Probability (school level)
Preparing for tests and exams

I adapt to each student's level and pace. I explain step by step and provide simple methods for solving exercises effectively.

The goal is not just to pass a test, but to truly understand the logic behind mathematics.
