WHAT SETS THIS CLASS APART?
Unlike traditional writing classes that separate writing from mechanics, this innovative course blends creative writing with essential rules of grammar and structure. Not only that, students engage in interactive and gamified activities.

No ordinary, boring worksheets here.

HOW THE CLASS IS STRUCTURED:
Each session starts with a focused lesson, followed by interactive and gamified activities in the free version of Canva. This includes board games, puzzles, escape rooms, and interactive worksheets that practice the topic.

Then they complete it with a writing assignment where I work with them to write correctly based on the lesson. 

BUNDLES:
I am offering several classes due to the large amount of material in English. The topics are in order of importance. If you wish to skip a class, then I ask you to sign up for an assessment, so I know they are ready for the desired section.

DURATION:
Each lesson will cover about 2 class sessions equaling four lesson at pace of student.. It really depends on the pace of the student. (About 8 classes, give or take).  I cover many writing and grammar topics and their importance in writing and speech, ensuring students gain the skills needed for success in school and beyond. This class is designed to fill the gaps often left by traditional education and it will also begin to prepare them for the PSAT and SAT in a few years..

GOOGLE DOCS AND CANVA:
Students will collaborate in Google Docs for writing assignments and in Canva for the activities, both with real-time feedback.

HOMEWORK:
Homework is optional. This means that is they are doing the Canva activities, they may finish that at home, and if they want to get started on the writing assignment at home, that is doable. This will also reduce the amount of classes.

It also means they can do all of it in class. Parents will just need to let me know their preference.

WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED?
Personalized feedback and support anytime the parent would like
Online sticker sheet and completion certificates for motivation
