This site was created due to the overwhelming response towards my essay writing articles during my years of hiatus from private tutoring. I am absolutely humbled by the sheer support and requests that I received.

I could not remain on hiatus forever - not when the emails began to sport subject titles in CAPITALS (e.g. "SOS - URGENT HELP NEEDED" ) just to stand out against the tide of other emails.
`
My health is not in the best of condition. A lot of my time is spent on maintaining my health, while juggling between work, family and personal developments. However, I feel bad for turning away parents/students without providing them a feasible solution to their/their child's essay writing problems - hence the creation of this website.
I will try to help you so long as it is within my capabilities and if my agenda permits. However, should you find my help to be inefficient or ineffective, please feel free to seek help elsewhere. Singapore is swamped with essay writing providers and tutors, and the good tutors, while elusive, are aplenty.

WITH REGARDS TO PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Unfortunately, I decided not tutor Primary school students. There is an abundance of tutoring services / avenues for Primary school students in society and I see no need to need to populate such a congested tutoring scene any further. In addition, my schedule does not allow me to teach Primary school students as they require more frequent guidance. However, phone consultations are available for parents who need advice to navigate the educational landscape.
WITH REGARDS TO STUDENTS AT THE SECONDARY, TERTIARY LEVEL AND BEYOND
Email/phone consultations and online tutoring services are available.
DISCLAIMER
WITH REGARDS TO 'B' GRADE STUDENTS
If you are a 'B' grade student looking for ways to increase it to an 'A' grade, this website is not suited to your needs. Please contact me directly instead. I am aware of how to do so for all three types of essays- granted, with lesser finesse than a , top-tier 'A' grade JC argumentative essay - but it will be quite some time before I post anything relating to bumping a 'B' grade to an 'A' grade.
WITH REGARDS TO EVERYONE LEARNING FROM THIS SITE
There is so much I want to say and point out that will only be effective in person. I will try to work around my restrictions and provide you with support - but please understand that electronic and telephone support is not comprehensive.
If you know me well, you will know that I experienced an exponential growth in my writing abilities - and my overall language competency - very much later in life. Prior to that, my English competency was...well... nothing to shout about.
At present, I am undoubtedly competent in writing but definitely do not belong to the cream of the crop who churns out a jaw-dropping literary prose within an hour. I am not apologetic about it - as one who who struggles with language in the early years of her life, I can relate to my students well.
WHAT PIQUES MY INTERESTS
EXTREMELY WELL-WRITTEN STORIES / NARRATIVES
It seems contradictory to be interested in well-written stories when I just declared a no-go to 'B' graders. I have been reading and writing fiction as a hobby for the past 12 years (as of 2015), and I really appreciate fantastically written fiction. The teenagers of this generation and beyond will be exposed to expository and argumentative writing styles from an earlier age at the expense of developing great fiction writing skills. Admittedly, it is a practical move, but it is somewhat regrettable that there are lesser opportunities for the young to delve into fiction writing - unless they pick it up as a hobby.
You have no idea how many times I have heard that comment "But what is the use of writing stories? It is not useful to me when I grow up." At the very least, my writing style would be as boring as a plank without my decade-long exposure to fiction writing.

ABOUT THE AUTHORESS OF THIS SITE
The authoress did not attend 'brand name' schools. Neither was she a straight 'A's student. She simply struggled in learning and had to teach herself by making every possible error and learning from them. It would help greatly if teachers who could actually be patient and intuitive enough to figure out her confusion - but such teachers were usually not common in her life [But thank god, there were such teachers]. She needs a lot more time than others to 'get it', but once the confusion dissipates and understanding sets in, she sees the world with clarity and her learning progress accelerates at an astonishing pace.
It is of great relief that throughout her academic life, her conceptual understanding managed to set in before the commencement of her major / national exams. [This also meant that plenty of her class tests experienced utter carnage.] The authoress eventually went on to acquire credentials in the field of Sociology, Special Needs and Applied Linguistics.
Such slow pace of learning is not limited to her essay writing. It extends to her thinking, driving, personal development courses and other subjects like math. Technically, she could teach whatever she struggled with before she gained understanding. [She used to teach math and other humanities subjects.] Such slow and steady learning allowed her to develop a particular affinity in understanding the struggles of her students.
As the saying goes, "those who struggled before will be able to understand others better". Such individuals, she believes, make excellent teachers. As students however, the initial learning curve is a herculean task.
On a side note, it is with deep regret that the authoress has terrible muscle coordination and memory. Her abysmal progress with piano playing had left her utterly disheartened in the past, but her love for anime songs has sustained her interest in playing the piano - though it probably takes 4 times as long as the typical individual for her to play it at a passable standard.
This essay writing website stems from the authoress's "Move-at-my-own-pace" initiative. It is her eventual online dream to set up different self-help websites about her health and work under the umbrella banner of her "Move-at-my-own-pace" initiatives.
