About Petrina
Struggling to bridge the gap between high school and post-secondary expectations? As an active post-secondary instructor with a Master of Education from the University of Calgary, I’ve spent over 8 years teaching academic preparation, professional communication, and career strategy at top institutions like SAIT and Olds College. I don't just help students "get through" an assignment—I teach them the underlying systems of higher education: how to structure compelling arguments, write at a scholarly level, present with confidence, and manage complex academic workloads without burnout.
Whether you are a Grade 11–12 student preparing for university, an adult upgrading learner, or an international post-secondary student navigating Canadian academic standards, I offer tailored 1-on-1 coaching designed to build lasting academic independence and top-tier performance.
