Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 12
Beginner Level
These classes are organized in two segments: Cursive Writing and Typing Writing. Parents may choose 1 or 2 sections, according to their interest. These classes are for third graders and up who want to learn cursive writing and for students up to sixth grade. It will include writing words, phrases, and sentences as the students progress in learning letter formation. The speed of the class greatly depends on the student's motivation, extended practice on his/her own, and ability to grasp the procedure of letter formation. 

For the second section, the student will learn typing techniques. The goal is to type without looking at the keyboard. Students in this class must know basic writing or manuscript to enter this class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Most important, I taught my children to write block and cursive before they entered to formal schooling. I am glad I did so because then I faced the reality that cursive writing instruction was eliminated from the curriculum to give extra time for standardized state test. 

I am a certified teacher in Writing Without Tears with a Master degree in special education. I have five years of experience working with elementary students included teaching writing. I taught my own children cursive writing at a time where was not taught in school to make time to teach to the test. Because omitting cursive writing is not a pedagogic best practice, I taught my self-contained first to fifth students cursive. They all learned and it was documented in their individual education program as one of their goals successfully reached! I also have five years working with intermediate students. Finally, I coursed a bilingual secretary program and worked using my typing abilities for over 16 years. People find interesting that I type without looking at the keyboard! For me it is so natural.
