Advanced Level
Each week in this class students will be introduced to important and advanced vocabulary words. They will explore word definitions, origins and usage. They will read the words in context in various reading passages and practice using the words. This class gives students a chance to regularly work on their writing and vocabulary and receive teacher feedback on all submitted writing samples. In each meeting of this class students will be introduced to at least four vocabulary words. Students will receive demonstrations on how to learn more about the meaning and usage of each word. We will review writing samples that use the vocabulary words in context. Students will be given writing prompts to use each vocabulary word in a sentence. Students will start their writing assignments in class, but they have the option to submit some or all of the writing the same day after class. All submitted writing samples will be given individual feedback. Feedback will include notes on usage, grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity and other areas as needed.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the meaning and usage of many advanced vocabulary words and use them in their writing. Students will practice writing sentences and receive feedback that is designed to improve their overall writing output.

Bachelor's Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University
Hello Parents and Learners!
I am excited to welcome you to my online classroom! We can come together from around the world to explore academic and extra-curricular topics in a professional, yet fun and accessible setting. I bring hands on examples and vivid digital effects to my lessons. I have a Bachelors Degree in Education and years of experience teaching all subjects in traditional classes, special education classrooms, as a home schooling parent and in online education! Here’s some fun additional experience and background I bring to the classroom: I have more than 10 years professional experience as a top technician on Italian race bikes including Ducatis and MV Augustas. I have racing experience both on the track and in the ‘pit’. I have done make-up on SciFi movies in Hollywood. I crochet a wide variety of useful and whimsical items, and I'm a gardener and backyard chicken farmer. I look forward to sharing these skills and experience with your learner. I’ll be adding more classes to my schedule regularly. Please be sure to follow and check back often! Thank You!
