1 hour per week. I would love them to download a phonics app of your choosing and do it a few times a week. If they would like to write in a journal, they can start by writing one thing they loved about each day. Gratitude is a wonderful practice for happiness, and it helps their writing!Assessment
My only goal is to make sure they practice writing so that they improve and feel confident. The best way to do this is a lot of positive feedback. The emphasis will be on basic writing skills and basic spelling and grammar.Class Experience
US Grade Preschool - 1
This English as a Second Language class is a fast, easy way for your child to improve their storytelling and writing in just 25 minutes! They will improve their spelling, punctuation and grammar. This class is good for kids who are just building their writing confidence and maybe struggle with some basic grammar. We'll help them develop their skills fast! I'll also give you ways to help your child improve outside of class, including asynchronous short video sessions for outside of class. You're not alone, parents. I get it. I can help. Kids will establish their basic skills and then they can progress to my picture book and chapter book writing class. They'll write about different things every time, so it won't feel repetitive. Every Week, Bring a Toy, A Real Pet, A Stuffed Animal, Food.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their spelling, punctuation, grammar and writing confidence. They will learn common phonics, basic punctuation, and parts of speech - nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, and adverbs. They'll learn to write a basic story in English.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Vermont College of Fine Arts
I've taught ESL and writing for over twenty years. I currently run two after-school writing programs for elementary schools in the Los Angeles School District and the Culver City School District. One of the schools has 80% ESL learners. I've taught ESL to kids in kindergarten up to high school and adults in Seoul, Korea at English Friend Hagwon. I also taught at the prestigious and high-priced ESL school, KAPLAN, in Los Angeles. I'm also a published and acclaimed young adult novelist and I regularly teach writing in schools around the United States and Canada.
