Students will learn the essential concepts of writing an essay while being fun, patient, and engaging. They will also become more confident in their abilities, which will help them in each area of their lives. Students will interact with the teacher via video and chat in addition to course materials being attached to the platform for reference. 

The class is structured to meet 10 times over 5-10 weeks and will go over the specific needs within the writing process for each student. There will be an in-class activity tailored to the needs of each student in relation to the essay writing process.  This activity will work on improving their essay writing skills and make it easier to write. Some of the topics that will be discussed are brainstorming, outlining, writing, and editing an essay. These are all essential concepts when writing an essay. Any assistance with assignments and test preparation can also be done during any of the sessions.

Each session will be tailored to the individual student to ensure learning needs are met. Learners will be engaged directly one-on-one with me to get a tailored experience with direct feedback. There is no required experience learners need. This is 10-session package where learners will build confidence, become effective writers who write with a purpose, and receive personalized assistance with assignments and test preparation.
