Creative Writing Private Tutoring

In this class, I will work with students one-on-one and help them with their creative writing. Every lesson will be personalized to fit the student's interests and needs. For example, if a student loves a certain video game and struggles with writing descriptively, we will write descriptions of their favorite characters from that game. While creative writing is the focus, I can also teach general writing skills if requested. 

I will generally begin class with a lesson and then introduce a writing prompt. Students will usually have time to write during class, but what they don't complete will be homework. I will look over assignments outside of class and prepare feedback in order to help the student grow. We will take extra time on a particular topic if the student is struggling and I will adjust lessons to best fit their needs. 

I am a very relaxed teacher that encourages questions and discussion. I want my classroom to be a safe environment where students can unleash their creativity. My biggest goal is to make writing fun. 

NOTE: In order to make the most of our lessons, I will try my best to get in touch via Outschool messages before the first lesson. I would like to know about the learner's background in writing along with what you would like us to focus on. It's also helpful to know what kind of video games, TV shows, and characters interest them. If there is anything special you would like such as meeting more than once a week or having more than one learner, please let me know and I will see if I can accommodate you. I am personally knowledgeable about many video game characters.

If for any reason, the learner is unable to attend a future class please let me know as soon as possible so I can cancel that week's session. If you are planning a longer break such as a vacation, please also let me know as soon as possible. Outside of an emergency, I will not give a refund if the learner does not show up to class and I was not contacted beforehand.  

The lessons each weeks will vary depending on the learner and their interests and needs.
