My Profile: Writer, Copy Editor, & Academic Writing Coach and Workshop Trainer

PROFILE OF CHOO KAH YING (kchoo7@gmail.com)

My name is Choo Kah Ying. I am a published writer, editor, and educator who has been working in this field since 1997. As a freelance academic researcher, writer, and editor in Los Angeles (1997–2005), I assisted diverse clients (from university students to working professionals) in the completion of their research writings for about eight years. 

Since my return to Singapore in 2005, I have also expanded into writing and editing general reference books, book chapters, articles, as well as educational workbooks (to learn more, please look up: http://www.awakeningminds.sg/books.html & http://www.awakeningminds.sg/articles.html)

Another significant part of my writing and editing work involves teaching students (from primary school to graduate level) how to tackle the writing of essays and research theses, either on a one-on-one basis, or in my writing workshops. At the minimum, my objective is to help my clients grasp the critical thinking processes and introduce them to practical writing techniques, which will enable them to express their ideas in a coherent fashion. For professional practitioners who are seeking a higher degree to progress in their profession, my focus is to assist them in conveying effectively their knowledge, experience, and passion in their field of work through their research studies.
