About

This is my first series as a new tutor! Each week, we will cover various techniques and methods of creating interesting and multidimensional characters for creative writing! You can use them for your own books, or you I can help you write a (not very hard) short story or even a page showing your character in action. We will also learn how to create engaging characters that will deepen emotional engagement.

Hey guys! I’m Mattis, a homeschooled 8th grader currently living in Shenzhen, China! My education consists mostly of Khan Academy exercises and videos. Thanks so much Sal! I love writing fiction novels (two of them, Ebse Nexus and Bombardment B, are nearly done), which are a blend of sci-fi and fantasy. I was very active on Khan Academy and I decided to come here to help people with R&W on the corresponding subworld. I’m a total extrovert and can always be found attending sessions and answering people’s questions!! Became a tutor on October 14, 2024 at 7:10-7:11 pm GMT+8.

I'm a Grade 10 student from India. I'm thrilled to join Schoolhouse as I believe it will be an excellent and beneficial platform for my education, and I would love to help others. In my free time, I like journaling and watching Netflix. I also like fantasy movies or series. I also love reading books. I finish a book in about two or three days. I'm a big fan of reading books, haha! And my favourite movie is Harry Potter. It's the best movie I've ever seen.
