Homework
1-2 hours per week. I typically assign homework to reinforce what we discussed in the prior class session.
Assessment
I typically give pre-assessments during the first week of classes. One is a writing sample and one is a 40-question grammar quiz. I use both of these assessments to help me to determine what I should prioritize in my teaching time and to keep the students more engaged. I also give an end-of-course assessment for any students who desire to take one.
Grading
I give grades and certificates of completion by request.

Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 12
Beginner - Advanced Level
In this course, students will delve into various aspects of writing, from foundational skills to advanced techniques. We can cover a wide array of topics, including idea generation, essay structure, grammar, vocabulary enrichment, and effective editing strategies. I will focus the sessions based entirely on your student's specific needs.

Each lesson starts with an assessment of the student's strengths and areas for improvement, followed by tailored exercises. The structure ensures a dynamic learning experience, combining theoretical concepts with real-time application. Have an assignment due soon and not sure how to get it done? Then our time can be focused on completing the assignment in the student's own voice, but with an expert's coaching.

My teaching methodology revolves around a personalized approach that caters to each student's unique learning style. I employ a mix of teaching methods, including interactive discussions, live editing exercises, instructional games, writing prompts, slide presentations, and curated video clips to reinforce learning.

My teaching style is collaborative and supportive. I encourage a nurturing environment where students feel empowered to express themselves creatively while mastering essential writing skills. My focus is on fostering confidence and self-expression while honing technical abilities.

Learners will have substantial interaction throughout the sessions. While I incorporate some lecture-style teaching to introduce concepts, the bulk of the class involves engaging activities. Students participate in discussions, analysis of sample essays, and collaborative editing sessions. No prior writing experience is required—this program is tailored to accommodate all skill levels, from beginners to advanced learners. The only prerequisite is a willingness to learn and grow as a writer.

Learning Goals

The aim is to equip students with a comprehensive set of skills that will empower them to express themselves effectively and confidently in their writing, regardless of the topic or purpose.
