NUS Writing & Communication Hub: Writing

WCH Peer Tutoring - Writing

About

NUS Writing & Communication Hub is a friendly and welcoming space open to NUS Students. We provide regular individual writing consultations and group workshops on rhetorical skills, revision strategies, and the conventions of style and structure appropriate to different modes of writing. As consultants, we are able to provide general feedback about the articulation of ideas, tone, audience awareness, argumentation, structure, grammar, clarity, and style, regardless of the discipline, at any stage of the writing process. While we retain a focus on curricular academic writing, we are also happy to support co-curricular and extra-curricular writing endeavours. We all share the same goal of helping students to come to a deeper understanding about their own writing processes.

Lex Lee
Graduating Class of 2027, NUS College
Majors: History
Languages: English, Mandarin

Lex is a third-year History major and RC4 resident who keeps getting dragged on side quests. To him, writing is unnecessarily treated as arcane and should not be the deciding factor stopping you from exploring untrodden ground. Achieving clarity in language and argumentation are the areas he focuses on throughout the writing process. In his spare time, Lex is an avid board gamer and appreciates the fundamentals of any engine builder, which can draw parallels to academic writing: with a strong, rigorous planning process and clear ideas and lines of development, a paper can generate large amounts of value/knowledge.

Lois Naomi Ang
Graduating Class of 2026, NUS College
Major: Political Science
Languages: English, Tagalog, Hokkien (Elementary), Mandarin (Elementary)

Naomi is a final-year Filipino and Chinese student from the Philippines. After accidentally making her way into NUS College, she has found herself in a love-hate relationship with her major (Political Science) and its many writing requirements. Naomi decided to become a peer tutor to help other lost souls navigate their way around writing, and hopefully even love the process too! Outside of writing, Naomi likes to read, swim, and debate.

Samuel Song En Lai
Graduating Class of 2028, NUS
Major: Economics, with a minor in Bahasa Indonesia
Languages: English, Bahasa Indonesia, Mandarin, Thai (Elementary)

He studies Economics and minors in Indonesian and even did his first university internship in a consulting company located in Jakarta, Indonesia. He has previously tutored students for O Level English, but he finds more joy in assisting his friends in expressing their ideas and thoughts clearly through their university assignments (and they even get at least an A- in their assignment!). As an NUS student, he currently dedicates his time to mentoring in the Boys’ Brigade, teaching his students to express their ideas clearly in meetings and on assignments. During recess week, you will find Samuel conducting economic research on micro and small enterprises in Batam, Indonesia. During school holidays, you will find him in the rice fields of Khon Kaen, Thailand, leading a group of noisy students in a cross-cultural exchange with Thai students.
