Grammar Rules! Common Grammatical Errors and How to Fix Them (High School)

**This course REQUIRES that your learner already knows and understands the parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, & prepositions). If they do not, please sign up for my Parts of Speech Boot Camp FIRST before taking this class. You can sign up under my teacher profile or here: https://outschool.com/classes/grammar-rules-parts-of-speech-boot-camp-YBCyPmTp?usid=4GDL6DUL&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

This eight-week course combines my popular one-time grammar classes in a singular class offering, so students can experience a comprehensive grammar course that includes weekly review, short homework assignments to reinforce each lesson, and teacher feedback! Students will be introduced to new concepts each class through interactive activities and in-class practice, then given a short homework assignment to complete and turn in for feedback. At the end of the course, students will practice putting all of the skills together through interactive activities to cement what they've learned throughout the course and apply it to their future writing and communications.

What You Get:
• Full Handouts for EACH Lesson. Your student will have a mini TEXTBOOK to refer to again and again!
• Personalized Instruction. I work with each student in class to talk through the concepts to aid them in mastery no matter their skill level.
• Personalized Feedback. All assignments get personalized feedback from me. I not only correct the errors, I tell your student WHY each item was incorrect. 
• One-on-One Mentoring and Support. Throughout the class, I can be accessed in the private classroom messaging feature. I am there to answer questions, provide additional clarification, give feedback, and offer support. Your student's interactions with me don't end when class is over.
