In this 4-week self-paced (flex) (no live meetings) course, students will learn everything there is to know about middle school grammar. Students will receive a new lesson each day (6 days per week). Each lesson will consist of a mini video lesson (10-20 minutes in length), 2 printable activities (can also be done on the computer with a pdf writer), a discussion question, and Nearpod (online game) activities. Students can submit their work for personalized feedback from the teacher. This is an expedited course with 30 minutes- one hour of work for each lesson each day. Because it is a flex class, students can complete the work at their own pace. Students have full access to the classroom for at least 30 days after the class ends.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Eastern Michigan University
Hello! I'm Miss Jen. I teach classes about English grammar to help learners become amazing writers. Writing with proper grammar is crucial for many life skills.
Please send a message if you have any questions! I will respond to messages within 24 hours during the business week.
I have taught grammar classes on Outschool for more than three years. I love teaching students of many levels.
Before Outschool, I taught English online for four years, teaching over 3,000 classes. I have a degree in elementary and special education. I have adapted many lessons to fit the unique needs of my students. I tutored at a math and reading center for five years to students of a variety of ages. I currently homeschool my own children and facilitate a local forest school.
I believe that hands-on learning and interaction are paramount to a child's education. Learning should be fun and interesting! All children should find the love of learning with the help of an engaging and encouraging teacher.
When I'm not teaching, my favorite outdoor activity is rafting down our local river because we are always greeted by ducks, geese, and beautiful swans.Reviews
