About Helena
I am a long-time teacher and life-long learner! I love working with students to refine their craft. Learning to write does not always come easily - writing is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced. Professionally, I worked as an ESL instructor for a few years and similarly gained considerable experience working as a TA for the TMU English department. I have been tutoring for over 7 years and have experience helping students find their authorship. I previously completed my bachelor's degree in English and Philosophy, with a minor in sociology. My first master's degree was in English literature at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). My second master's degree is in Educational Technology from the University of British Columbia (UBC).
