About Danica
Hello, I've been helping students improve their academic writing for years, and there's nothing I love more than watching someone discover they're actually a strong writer - they just needed the right guidance. During my undergraduate studies, I won awards for my essays in both Philosophy and English and made the Dean's List. I went on to earn my Master of Fine Arts in writing, so I understand academic writing from both sides - as a student who excelled and now as a professional writer who knows what makes essays truly effective. We can meet wherever works best for you in my neighborhood of East Van - at a cafe, library, online, or in my home office. I'm here to help you not just write better essays, but become a more confident communicator overall. Ready to improve your academic writing? Let's start with a free consultation. Danica

Good essay writing is about so much more than increasing your grade.
We'll start with you, identifying your areas of challenge. Together we will work on the fundamentals of effective essay writing: structures and techniques, identifying exactly what your teacher wants, planning and organizing your work, and I'll share all my best tips to make your work stand out. The real magic happens when you discover how much strengthening your writing will lead to clearer thinking and enhance your overall ability to learn and understand.
When you learn to construct a compelling argument, analyze evidence thoughtfully, and express complex ideas clearly, you're not just becoming a better student - you're developing critical thinking skills and communication abilities that will serve you in all kinds of relationships, throughout your future career, and in every area of life where you need to explain, persuade, or connect with others.
Each session is tailored to your specific assignment and learning style. Whether you're struggling with thesis statements, organizing your thoughts, analyzing sources, or simply getting started, we'll work together to build both your confidence and your skills. You'll leave with practical strategies you can apply immediately.
Drawing from my experience as an award-winning essayist and professional writer, I'll help you see essay writing not as a hurdle to overcome, but as a powerful tool for thinking, learning, and communicating that you'll use for the rest of your life.

Danica has been my writing coach for two years. She listens to what I want to achieve, helps me create a plan, and keeps me accountable. Danica diligently shares her knowledge and has significantly improved my writing. I know that she continues to learn and hone her skills through writing a regular newsletter, creating writers workshops, and challenging herself to read from a wide array of genres. If you are looking for a coach/mentor who is authentic, kind, and funny, I think Danica will be a good fit for you!
I took a writing course with Danica in 2023. She is a fantastic and empathetic teacher and guide. She provides interesting writing exercises and insightful feedback. Highly recommend.
