Join our ongoing Creative Writing Club for kids, where young authors will explore the magic of storytelling! This course is designed for all levels—whether your child is an experienced writer or just starting out, we aim to ignite their inner writer and help them discover their unique style.

Students will engage in various writing techniques and genres, from crafting suspenseful mysteries to creating fantastical adventures. Each class focuses on a different aspect of storytelling, ensuring an exciting experience.

Participants will enjoy fun writing exercises that spark creativity, with brainstorming sessions and collaborative story-building games keeping the energy high.

2. LEARN: Spend 10-15 minutes on a new writing strategy or genre.
3. WRITE: Dive into writing based on a prompt provided by the teacher.

Students can share their work via Google Docs or photos of handwritten pages for personalized feedback from instructors. We recommend bringing a notebook or journal and a pen or pencil for each class, along with access to Google Docs if possible.

Hi, I’m Alvaro, a bilingual educator with 15 years of experience, currently based in Mexico. I specialize in reading, writing, math, ESL, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese for learners of all ages. I hold a Bachelor's in Middle School Education with a focus on English and a TESOL certification.

I use teaching methods like the Natural Approach and Task-Based Learning to make lessons practical and engaging. My goal is to help students learn in a way that feels natural and fun.

I started teaching in high school, helping my classmates with their studies, and that’s when I realized how much I love it. Since then, I’ve been inspired by great teachers who encouraged me to follow this path. Now, I aim to bring that same support and energy to my students.

Outside of academics, I like to mix sports and games into my lessons to keep things fun and active. I’m excited to help you reach your goals, whether it’s improving language skills or getting better at a subject!
