About Lia
Hi there - my name is Lia! I am currently an undergraduate student pursuing my Joint Honors Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature and Philosophy who can't wait to help you reach your academic goals. As a dedicated English tutor, I combine rigorous academic training with a passion for helping students reach their full potential. With a strong foundation in both literature and philosophy, I bring a nuanced understanding of language and critical thinking that enhances the learning experience. My background includes published research and professional journalistic writing, reflecting my commitment to high standards and clear communication. I tutored English for four years during high school and now edit theses for fellow university students, giving me extensive experience in supporting diverse writing needs. I am professional, approachable, and committed to creating a supportive environment where every student feels encouraged and capable of achieving excellence.

As a tutor, I take a structured yet flexible approach tailored to the individual goals and learning style of each student. I specialize in English tutoring for middle and high school students—from those looking to strengthen foundational literacy skills to advanced learners preparing for exams or pursuing enrichment in writing, literary analysis, and critical reading.
Methodology & Techniques:
My methodology begins with a clear, goal-oriented timeline developed in collaboration with the student. We start by identifying their current level, strengths, and areas for improvement. I focus on building strong fundamentals before progressing to advanced writing techniques, analytical reading strategies, and essay development. I provide targeted feedback, model effective writing, and assign practice exercises that reinforce concepts. I also incorporate philosophical and interdisciplinary insights when appropriate, encouraging deeper thinking and intellectual engagement.
A Typical Lesson Plan Includes:
A brief check-in on recent work or assignments
A mini-lesson targeting a specific skill (e.g., thesis structure, rhetorical devices, close reading)
Application through guided writing or analysis practice
Constructive feedback and next steps
Periodic review of goals and progress
What Sets Me Apart:
I bring both high-level academic experience and a personal background immersed in language and learning. Throughout high school, I completed the competitive AP Capstone diploma — an advanced English research program with only 10,000 Canadian students — graduating in the top 1% with a 100%. As a published writer, I understand the demands of advanced English coursework. Raised in a family of writers and educators, I offer not just instruction but mentorship rooted in a deep passion for the subject. I am committed to consistency, encouragement, and cultivating confidence in every student I work with.
Who My Lessons Are For:
These lessons are designed for middle and high school students at any level—whether they are struggling with English coursework, preparing for standardized assessments (such as AP or IB English), or simply looking to deepen their reading and writing skills. I tailor every session to the student's academic background, goals, and long-term aspirations.

Lia is a phenomenal English tutor. She has edited dozens of my university level papers with critical in depth analysis. Improving my writing in all aspects, from catching small clerical errors to organizing my ideas in professional formats. I could not recommend a tutor more.
