First time student? Use code PLANEWZ5OH10 until Dec 1, 2025 to save $10 on your first session! Please message to request for any last minute support. We may be Math Planets, but our coaches are diverse in their experience! Coach Cal, Calenna, is now offering writing support to students of all ages and backgrounds. In this class, students will bring their essay or other writing pieces to class, whether parents message us a copy of the work or through students sharing their screen. Prior to the class and where possible, it would be most helpful to send a copy of the writing and/or the writing prompt in order to review the writing first. Students may learn how to outline papers, write various drafts, edit their writing, and more. Students will gain knowledge on different tools and methods that can be utilized to enrich and refine their writing, including but limited to: diction, punctuation, tone, syntax, being concise, elaborating on thoughts, citations, and more. We may meet multiple times per week or in one day where needed, especially if the assignment is due in the near future. Whether it is for homework, a state test, AP testing, college application, final assignment, or more, Coach Cal is here to help!
