1 hour per week. Students are welcome to work on the day's lesson ahead of time, but they don't have to. Parents may want to review the instructional pages with students in between the lessons. I highly suggest students copy each passage as IEW recommends, but I don't check it.Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 5
This is the best way to begin grammar! Students find and correct mistakes in this ongoing, fun story. This class uses the IEW Grammar book, Nose Tree. It covers many grammar topics and can be found here: https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it%E2%84%A2-grammar-level-1-nose-tree-student-book This class will meet twice a week, which is an advanced pace. This is helpful to older kids who need to start at the beginning, but who may already know the concepts. Weeks 17-30 cover beginning capitalization, quotation marks, indenting, homophones (their/there/they're), and parts of speech (noun, verb, prep phrases. adverbs. etc). Each week includes a mix of grammatical errors to correct. Each day we will cover one week of class. Class begins with Week 17 and will end with Week 30. Students search for and correct grammar errors. I guide and correct as we go along, and add a unique coloring system to help them see different parts of speech. I am very encouraging and many students tell me they enjoy the challenge of searching for errors and improving each day. Before beginning this class, students should know that sentences and names begin with a capital letter, and end with end marks. They should understand articles (a,an, the) and nouns. This is the second half of the book. You are welcome to join in even if you have not worked on the first part and you can always go back and read what you missed, but it may take you a few sessions to catch on. The IEW Grammar books are set up to practice grammar 5-10 minutes a day, for 4 days a week, for 30 weeks. We will cover "4 days," which equals 4 sentences, in EACH day of class. I agree with IEW that your student should take the time to rewrite each week after class. This may take an additional 10-30 minutes. I will not be checking this but I do recommend it. I do teach all levels of IEW grammar in many ways!

Teacher expertise and credentials
UPDATE FOR SUMMER 2025: It's been three years since I made that video in fall of 2022! I graduate in May 2025 and will take the bar exam in July 2025.
I really like teaching here, and I will be back in August /fall 2025 for a bit. I am working on getting the Fix It grammar classes on the calendar for fall 2025. However, I know many of my people will have found new writing teachers, and I won't do much, if anything, in spring 2026. I hope to plan some kind of government/history/civics class here eventually, so check back every once in a while.
I do still get messages, and I will check them at least once a week. Students can't message me if they are not in an active class, but parents will still be able to message me if you have questions about writing.
_________
I help children overcome their fear of failure, and I coach strong writers to continued excellence. Once children grasp specific writing concepts, they can apply their skills to all content areas. Mostly, I use the writing methods taught by the Institute for Excellence in Writing.
My youngest daughter is dyslexic and in my search to help her organize and communicate her thoughts, I discovered the writing methods of IEW. Over the last 17 years, I have studied and taught these writing methods at my kitchen table, in homeschool co-ops, and in private tutoring. Most recently, I taught IEW for seven years to middle schoolers at a public charter school in Southern California. I am currently a Registered Instructor with IEW.
I graduated from the University of Maryland with an Elementary Education degree, but I've learned way more from my own kids and hundreds of others than I ever learned in a college classroom.
Having taught on two coasts, in public, private, charter, and homeschool co-ops, I have a breadth of experience.
My classes are "pretty fun for a writing class," my students report, but they don't feel like recess. Students will practice significant writing, grammar, organizing, outlining, and speaking skills in my classes. If your child needs support, recovery, or challenge, check out my classes.Reviews
