Each week, your student will learn how to successfully write an essay. They will begin by learning how to properly write a sentence and paragraphs before moving on to writing essays. During the course, your child will be writing an expository essay, a descriptive essay, and a persuasive essay. We will be working through the essay writing together and I will be guiding and mentoring the students during the process. This is an interactive course. I will be presenting information and students will have the opportunity to ask questions, answer questions, and help fill in outlines. I cater the class to the types of students that are in the specific class to ensure that each child is engaged and grasping the concepts.
