Mattis and Maia’s Character Creation Lab

5th session

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.

New Notes:
Please, everybody who joins this session:

1. State all the times you’re available 

2.Convert the times to GMT+8

3. Then tell me whether you’re available on weekends or weekdays

4. Please state the exact days you’re available.

You can do all of the above on the series group chat.

Thank you!!

💫📃Intro to Essay Writing: Everything you Need to Succeed V1📃💫

10th session


Twice a week, we'll go over the steps to writing powerful and noteworthy essays by breaking essay writing into chunks and engage in fun exercises to build stronger academic writing.

We will create an essay together with a topic of your choice and also sample a variety of topics through practice exercises.

Let me know if you are interested in participating, but the times and/or dates don't work out for you. I may be willing to make an adjustment.

Note: This series will be fast paced. My availability is really limited, so in order to finish within the ten week margin, if I am unable to host both days, or you are forced to miss both weekly sessions, slides and a review activity will be made available in the assessments folder for your convenience! 🙂

Extra Note: If you've already completed the series, I recommend that you still register again. The main group will be going further than the last times this has been hosted, and there will be both extra enrichment opportunities, and the chance to "teach the group."

Additionally, if you've completed the series priorly, you're welcome to apply as a co-host! I'd love to have you.

📏 Session Length: Estimate around 8-10 sessions and up to 4 office hour sessions within a span of 16 weeks. Dates and times are tentative.

🕵️‍♀️🌍⁉️ City Spies Book Club ⁉️🌍🕵️‍♂️

11th session

Hey guys! In this series, we’ll read the City Spies books, have exciting discussions about the plot and character development, and play fun games.

In case you’re wondering what City Spies is about - it's a series by James Ponti about a group of kids from around the world who are recruited by a spy named Mother to join MI6, the British Secret Intelligence. When they’re not at boarding school, they’re training in spy skills like sleight of hand, covert observation, and explosives — so they can take on missions adults can’t.

Join to read it all together and explore the exciting world of City Spies!

If the current timings don’t work for you, just let me know - I’ll try my best to find a time that suits you and everyone else!
