Student Counselling and Mentoring I use my UBC counseling and current coaching training to help students. But a large part of my help comes from actual experience working with students who have since gone on to Harvard, Wharton and who have received UBC scholarships. I've also counselled students who have shared various issues such as not fitting in with peer groups, being victims of bullying, low self-esteem and test anxiety. Parents have and can come for private sessions to receive support and discuss how to help their children manage certain challenges. $60/hour Confidentiality is always maintained and respected.

Student tuition Having taught class courses for the LPI, the SAT test and the IELTS test, I know what constitutes an acceptable and a high level performance. Again, a large part of my help comes from actual experience working with students who have since gone on to Wharton, Harvard, Cambridge and who have received UBC scholarships. Tuition or mentoring depends on level and needs accordingly For college applicants, please email me with your desired colleges first. For any refugees, I have given lessons to non-profit organizations & if your case is serious, I will do my best to work something out to help.
Please keep phone enquiries to 15 minutes. Thank you for understanding my time constraints.

The Essay and Writing Guide ($16) is an emailed PDF file for students who need to prepare for an essay test (LPI, IELTs or TOEFL). This guide tells you
everything you need to understand about essay and paragraph writing. It has been used to teach grade 12 and university students preparing for the English Provincial exam and for those preparing for the LPI test in the school I designed the course for. The guide covers all the necessary points on how to avoid sentence structure mistakes. It also includes important transitions and useful expressions that many university and grade 12 students can use and that will make their essays sound more mature and impressive.

The Sky's The Limit ($21), the comprehensive student E-manual about living your student life successfully and meaningfully. Being a student mentor entails being involved with a student’s academic performance as well as a student’s approach to his or her school life. The first part includes many prep hours with International Baccalaureate students (With a minimum of 5 books and Theory of Knowledge!) or just covering the Provincial English writing. What I've found is that most students are overwhelmed with studying (and remembering) so much work as well as having to deal with extra curriculum activities. Some also have challenges in terms of their classmates and not really being sure they really want to be the lawyer their dad wants them to be. Hence my mentoring covers many areas including using great studying techniques and finding one's life purpose. Another large part of this manual covers how to have the right portfolio and how to write admission essays that express one's strengths and goals in the best possible manner whether it is for UBC, Berkeley, Wharton or Harvard).

The English Grammar Guide ($18) is a comprehensive 172 page emailed PDF file. It contains every grammar rule that has been tested in all major English proficiency
exams such as the IELTS. Some elements are explained more than others. The decision of what to put in the book was weighed upon by how much a student really needs to know in order to write better as well as get a good grade in an
English proficiency test. Hence a gerund is not extensively discussed but a list of words that often accompanies a gerund is provided, as this is what is often tested. (See Guide Content Index. See
Sample Grammar Guide Chapter.)
