Creative Writer's Workshop (10-13)
What's included
1 live meeting
55 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
The best way to improve your creative writing skills is to write. In this ongoing class, I will provide several different prompts each week and help bring out your learner’s creativity. I will offer several genres to choose from. Each learner will choose the prompt they want. I will ask questions and provide graphic organizers to help them brainstorm. Learners will have the opportunity to share their work in class and on the classroom wall to receive feedback in a low-pressure and supportive environment. Learners are not expected to finish in class. This class is to encourage learners to write more. I am here to guide them in coming up with ideas, help them if they get stuck, and improve their flow and details. Their classmates can also help provide ideas and ask questions. My classroom is supportive and friendly. I encourage participation gently by sharing my own examples and asking questions that will nurture their confidence. I believe learning should be fun, and communication should be empowering. I am a published author and a certified teacher who has taught writing in public school.

I am passionate about math. I know a lot of tricks and mnemonics to make math fun and easier to understand. I especially love helping struggling students achieve success. I have been a math teacher and tutor in public school and online since 2010.
I am passionate about creative writing. There are so many ways to express what is in your heart through words, and I would love to help you find that passion as well. I have two years of classroom experience teaching English and writing in public school. I also have had twenty-five books published. Many of them have been translated and narrated. Let me help you bring out your creativity in a way that will astound your audience.
I am also passionate about science and nature. From the expanse of outer space to the deepest depths of the ocean, from the first organisms to grace our planet to the future of technology, let’s explore the universe’s many incredible wonders.
