Class Experience

Is your learner excited about writing, but maybe you'd like to see more cohesive paragraphs and maybe even a longer essay?! I'd love to have them join me for this 4-week class where we'll learn to do just that. With personalized feedback provided to each and every learner, we strive to ensure that all learners find success in class.
