Class Experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
**Please request a tutoring session and I will contact you with my availability as it changes weekly*** 
Each tutoring session is personally geared towards each learner's needs and is not taken from one specific curriculum. After an evaluation, a plan of action will be suggested for each individual learner to reach the intended goals. 

Topics I specialize in are:
5 Paragraph Essay Writing for Elementary - College (Personal Narrative, Descriptive Writing, Expository, Opinion, and Persuasive)
Strong sentence structure and Paragraph Writing 

Creative Writing:
Descriptive Writing
Novel and Short Story coaching and brainstorming games

A discussion and evaluation will be done before a plan of action is taken. 

Teaching style includes lecture and engaging slide presentations, supplemental videos, and one on one guided instruction through prompts as they write. I always strive to take your student's writing to the next level! 


Please inquire if you have specific questions.
Learning Goals
Through one-on-one tutoring and classes, I partner with parents in education to empower students with confidence to take their writing to the next level.
As your instructor, I commit to creating an environment where each learner's voice can be released to tell the story only he or she can.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Oral Roberts University
My love of writing started when I was 8 years old and hasn't stopped. 

I'm a published author, writing teacher, and tutor who's worked with gifted and struggling kids for over 20 years. I saw a gap and a need when it came to essay and writing creative writing, so from my knowledge as a published writer in fiction and nonfiction magazine writing, I developed fun programs  to engage learners to write powerfully and effectively. The techniques seemed to work with kids who loved writing as well as those who didn't. I'm excited to bring my programs online to an even bigger audience. 

What parents and other teachers are saying:

"Gina draws out the writer hiding within you... no matter how deep down that writer is buried within. I highly recommend Gina as writing instructor." Ronee, mom of reluctant teen writer

Gina is a phenomenal writing teacher! We have loved working with her. We have a range of ages and she is great at adapting to their ages and learning styles. She's very patient and good at helping them focus. My kids have learned so much and been stretched and challenged in the area of writing. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to advance in any area of writing! - Bethany mother of K, 1, 3, 4 tutored students.

"All writers, regardless of their age or level, need to understand the nuances of story, the layers of a character, how to put a scene together as well as how to wordsmith their stories. Enter Gina Conroy's terrifically fun and creative course for teens-Release the Novel in You! From its engaging and fun presentation, delightful acronyms, playful look at analyzing a story and application sections, it takes the rules out writing and turns it back into what it should be—fun! Practical and specific, it covers everything from story structure to characterization, to the hero's journey to writing fixes—everything an intermediate writer needs to take their story from an idea on the page to a novel." - Susan May Warren, Award-winning novelist and writing coach
