These sessions will focus on a learner's specific writing needs. Learners are encouraged to come to the session with writing that they have been working on in which they need assistance and have questions regarding how to improve it. If learners do not have a specific assignment, the teacher will provide sentence, paragraph, and pre-writing activities as necessary to identify skill areas that need strengthened and begin working on these. Areas of focus will include punctuating sentence types correctly, using a variety of sentence structures, employing transition words and logical connectors, expanding writing through descriptive vocabulary and examples, and formatting paragraphs and essays correctly. Our class time will involve working together to discover errors in a learner's writing along with working through how to correct these. The teacher will guide the learner in identifying problem areas and encourage the use of appropriate strategies and patterns in order that the learner can begin to to self-correct and self-edit. We will also note what a learner is doing well and celebrate these victories in order to encourage and solidify good writing patterns and habits. Learners must have a good command of the English language and be able to write at the sentence level minimally. Learners must also be willing to share their writing, speak up, and ask questions. These sessions provide a low-stress, positive environment, where the learners will be encouraged to take risks in their writing. This type of environment is often ideal for teens who may be struggling with writing in a classroom setting or who may benefit greatly from a one-on-one interaction situation in order to stay focused. These sessions are also helpful for more advanced students who need a faster pace or more challenging assignments to stay engaged.
Learning Goals

Other Details
Learning Needs
1-on-1 sessions are ideal for students who need more time or assistance in completing written work. The teacher will adjust assignments as needed and give additional time to complete as needed as well.
Pre-Requisites
Learners must be able to write at the sentence-level (minimally) prior to entering these tutoring sessions.
Supply List
Besides the standard Outschool technology and equipment requirements, the learner will need a pencil and paper (preferably a notebook or binder). If the student has a particular assignment(s) to address, he/she will need to have the materials related to this (e.g., book). Any other necessary materials (review worksheets, etc.) will be provided by the instructor.

I've taught English for over 25 years in various settings, plus I've been a home school mom for the past 14 years. I have seen many, many students lack a good grasp of basic grammar and writing skills, and it really shows when they get to high school (and higher levels) as they struggle with writing papers and essays. Now is the time to use the language and writing skills that they know to form solid writing habits. It's a great, practical life skill!
