“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood. . . .

Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

Antoine de St Exupery

Josephine Phay - that's me! Tutor, writer, and creator of this website.

Hi! I’m Josephine.

I’m a freelance writer and private tutor who deeply loves all things literary. Prior to this I was a teacher and Education Consultant at Hwa Chong Institution (High School) for nearly a decade.

I read a lot, write a lot, and am excited to use this space to share writing tips, reviews, commentary on literature and education, and more.

I offer several communications/language related services:

  • English tuition (IP / O level)

  • GP tuition

  • English Literature tuition (IP / O level / A level)

  • Enrichment and coaching (EL or Humanities DSA / creative writing / interview skills)

  • Content writing (blog posts / articles / fiction and nonfiction publishing)

  • Speech and resume writing

  • Proofreading and editing
