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.

Undergraduate Writing Peer Tutors

Lex Lee
Graduating Class of 2027, NUS
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.

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

Samuel is a second-year resident at the College of Alice and Peter Tan whose goal is to learn and educate others more about Southeast Asia’s economy and potential. 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.

She places particular emphasis on crafting structured, precise arguments that directly address the question at hand. Her areas of expertise include CHS and UTCP modules (e.g. HSH1000 and IEM), as well as résumés, personal statements, and other application materials. With experience guiding students from diverse backgrounds, she aims to provide clear, practical feedback that helps learners strengthen their writing and produce work they can feel confident in and proud of.

Ellen Yeo
Graduating Class of 2027, NUS

Having made avid use of just about every writing tutor and mentoring service available to her throughout her undergraduate years, she hopes to pay it forward by supporting others the same way. She has extensive experience guiding students in their writing as Chief Editor of her society’s magazine and as a writing tutor with the History Department. She believes that, with the right support, anyone can write with precision and clarity. In her free time, Ellen enjoys playing video games, keeping up with her favourite band, and catching up with friends over a good meal. She is also the proud co-owner of two very cute cats.
