This class is led by an occupational therapist, sharing tips and techniques to make handwriting help accessible to all here on Outschool. Join 4:1 Handwriting Tutoring Group With An OT; Live Demonstrations And Feedback and meet Shaayna - The Handwriting Tutor today! This class was previously only offered as 1:1 Handwriting Tutoring. It has been reformatted to allow for a small group of learners at a time. To reserve a private section, please reach out directly. This is a fun option for multi-learner families and friends! This 30-minute handwriting session includes live instruction and feedback while completing structured handwriting challenges. Learners begin copying a short, themed writing prompt to collect an initial handwriting sample; learners then review the mechanics of proper pencil/paper placement in addition to spacing rules prior to guided handwriting prompt; learners then engage in an onscreen activity to identify lines, page margins, and letter types; learners then continue with themed handwriting demonstrations and independent handwriting work; ending with peer review and instructor feedback of handwriting samples. Check teacher profile for upcoming (and past) handwriting topics! Summary of meeting objectives and extra themed vocabulary shared in classroom post following the handwriting session for continued yet optional practice opportunities. This class does require supplies, please see supplies section below. At least two learners must be enrolled for class to meet, transfers are available. This ongoing meeting is for a single learner; up to 4 learners may enroll in this section. New learners are welcome to join, pause, withdraw at any time. Disclosure: I am a licensed Occupational Therapist. I have received specialized handwriting training. While my classes aim to help learners with pre-handwriting and handwriting skills, these classes should not be used in place of therapeutic interventions. Please seek medical advice for any developmental concerns.

Hello Outschool learners and families,
I am Shaayna - The Handwriting Tutor and I am focused on making handwriting help accessible to all, remotely. My sessions provide onscreen demonstrations and continuous feedback to improve handwriting samples in live time. Since joining the Outschool team, I have written with over 1,000 learners from all around the world!
As an occupational therapist I am sharing 15 years of experience in the form of simple yet helpful handwriting tips and techniques online. My handwriting philosophy is progress over perfection, because written communication should be functional and purposeful. If you can communicate ideas through the written language and someone else can read your message, we’ve succeeded.
When I am not online providing handwriting instruction, you can find me creating handwriting help content for social media. There I share more handwriting help resources such as engaging handwriting prompts and interactive fine motor activities. I truly enjoy connecting with parents and professionals focused on facilitating an enriching childhood.
In addition to my role as THT, I am a few other fun things…
・a wife, mom, step-mom, and fur-mom
・a homeschooler to my neurodivergent thinker
・a native South Floridian, who often visits WDW
・an avid coffee drinker and Girl Scout cookie snacker
・an English and Spanish speaker
Join me in one (or more) of my handwriting sessions to learn more about how I can help with your handwriting needs.
