Personal Description:

Hi, I'm Katrine. I enjoy working with students of all ages. I have a PhD in English and Cultural Studies from McMaster University and I love everything to do with reading and writing! My passion is English and I love helping others improve their writing, reading and critical thinking skills too. I'm an experienced editor and critical thinker, and can help you through any stage of the writing process.

I'm well-versed in the Ontario Curriculum, grades 1 through 12. I'm also an expert in College and University English and preparation for standardized testing. I'm experienced with high-level editing of university and medical school applications, grant proposals, cover letters, resumes, reports, and other business writing. I am comfortable working with all ages and grade levels!

I believe that everyone has a great writer inside of them. We all have stories, so we are all naturally storytellers.
