Description

Class Experience

Have you ever wondered how to turn your rough draft into an amazing, polished piece that you WANT other people to read?  Do you feel stuck when your teacher tells you to improve your writing, but you don't know where to begin?  Join us for this class to gain some practical tools to improve your writing.

Students will learn practical steps to transition rough drafts into complete, polished final drafts.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, and held a Professional Teaching Certificate in Florida to teach English in grades 6-12.  For the past several years I have taught small group classes on essay writing, including how to write thesis statements.
