Writing is not just a skill it’s a way of thinking.

Whether you’re a student trying to find your voice, a parent looking for meaningful academic support, or a writer ready to deepen your craft, I offer personalized writing mentorship designed to meet you where you are and push you further.

I’m not here to help you “get through” assignments.

I’m here to help you become a stronger, more confident writer.

What I Offer:

Academic Writing & Student Support

For middle school, high school, and college students

• Essay development (structure, clarity, argument)
• Reading comprehension & critical thinking
• Grammar and sentence-level precision
• Building confidence in writing and communication
• Ongoing academic mentorship

Ideal for students who are:

• Falling behind
• Struggling to organize their thoughts
• Capable, but lacking confidence
• Preparing for higher-level academic work

College & Private School Essay Coaching

High-impact, one-on-one guidance

• Personal statement development
• Brainstorming compelling narratives
• Structural and line-level editing
• Voice refinement (so it actually sounds like you)

This is not template writing. This is story-driven, authentic, standout work.

Creative Writing Mentorship

For teens and adults

• Fiction, poetry, and hybrid work
• Voice and style development
• Worldbuilding and narrative structure
• Feedback on original work
• Guidance toward publication

Especially suited for writers drawn to:

• Literary fiction
• Creative nonfiction
• Horror / dark fiction / speculative fiction
• Experimental or genre-blending work
• LGBTQ+ Themes

Inclusive & Identity-Affirming Space

I actively create a space where:

• LGBTQ+ & neurodiverse students feel safe and seen
• Diverse voices are encouraged and strengthened
• Writing is used as a tool for self-understanding—not just performance

My Approach

I work differently than traditional tutors.

• I teach thinking, not just answers
• I adapt to each student’s pace and learning style
• I focus on long-term growth, not quick fixes
• I treat writing as both a craft and a form of expression

Students don’t just improve their grades—they develop skills that carry into every part of their lives.

Rates & Structure

I offer both hourly sessions and package-based mentorship.

Hourly Sessions

• $80 per session (sliding scale available in certain cases – No one should have their income level determine their ability to thrive)

Packages

• Monthly mentorship (4 sessions): $300
• College essay coaching packages: Custom pricing – Inquire

Packages are designed for consistent growth and deeper results

Format

• In-person – I come to you.
• Bainbridge Island – travel costs included in price
• Poulsbo/Suquamish/Kingston areas + $5 for travel costs per session
• Why not online? Many studies have proven that we learn better in person. My mission is to give you the best education possible. That comes through personal connection

Work With Me

If you’re interested in working together, reach out with:

• A bit about yourself (or your student)
• What you’re hoping to improve
• Preferred schedule

Email me: viktorcaeneus@gmail.com

I’ll get back to you within 48 hours to discuss our next steps.

Strong writing opens doors—but more importantly, it gives you a voice.

Let’s build that voice together.
