About Jade
I am a graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) and York University's Master of Communication & Culture program. I am a former communications director of a non-profit settlement agency, and former ghostwriter, who has also been a graduate assistant for four years. I've done everything from tutor undergraduates, to guest presenting lectures, and even self-published a novel of my own (mostly as an exercise to prove to myself that I could do it), to revising entire internal company policies, and more. I am also part of the LGBTQ+ community if you are looking for someone who understands the unique challenges facing people like ourselves. That said, all students are welcome.

There are two lessons that I wish every student learned: that academics don't exist to antagonize you, and to always look past a haze of details and find what matters at the core of a subject. When I've tutored students in the past, there's often a lot of anxieties and fixations on extraneous details when I try to focus in on what's most important and then build outwards from there. Academia can be overwhelming, I'm here to help you improve and find enjoyment in it. I draw from my experiences as a TA and a Communications Director, where teaching and tutoring were a fundamental component of my work, as well as demanding a high degree of technical competency.

I am a professional writer for theatre and magazines and I have known Jade for many years, offering her advice from time to time as she was growing into her work as a writer. Jade's writing is a delight and, increasingly, an inspiration to me. I have recently hired Jade as a consultant on a theatre project. Her notes and feedback were clear and illuminating and inspired a fresh pass on a script that finally became what it needed to be: aspects to which I had been tone-deaf came clear; half-baked ideas got baked. If you are looking for a tutor who will challenge you while at the same time being fun, non-judgemental and supportive of your own original thoughts and ideas – even as she inspires literary rigour and clear thinking – I think Jade is your tutor, teacher, trainer.
Jade served as part of my research team for a lab study and also served as part of my Teaching Assistant team for a class of 100 students. In both capacities, she showed herself to be reliable, innovative, collegial, and professional. In addition to being a remarkably open, profoundly reflective and admirably courageous individual, Jade is vitally engaged, reflective, aware, proactive, insightful, prompt and thorough in her work. I have no doubt that she will bring these same levels of creativity, attention, and insight to her work with you.
Jade is a cousin of mine, so I’ve known her a LONG time. She is incredibly intelligent, but very down to Earth, I used to really look up to her when I was a kid. She’s great at explaining complex topics in a way that’s easily understandable to the layperson. Just one example, I’ve learned so much about nuclear power from casual conversation with her. I know she made for a great TA while she was getting her masters, she was so enthusiastic about her role as a teacher and she talked about it often. I know from experience some people treat that role like an obligation, but Jade really embraced it and loved it. Also, for what it’s worth, she’s a lovely person overall, funny, kind, genuine. I know she’d excel at any teaching position that came her way. She’s not just smart, she’s passionate about a wide range of subjects and her enthusiasm is infectious.
Jade has an infectious enthusiasm for her subject, and if you listen and apply yourself, you'll get the most out of her tutoring.
