This class is taught in English.

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. 

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. 

Homework Offered
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!
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
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.
