Grammar Without Frustration: These Rules Aren't Meant to Be Broken
Grammar can be overwhelming. Knowing there are rules and being able to remember and those rules are completely different. Week by week, learners will explore new rules and be empowered to "follow the rules" for greater success.

Nothing is more frustrating for developing writers than when they put their ideas on paper in the best way they know how, only to have an assignment returned covered in red marks. Yes, our learners need edits and feedback, but they also need the confidence to keep on writing. In this on-going class, I will review the most common grammar rules in American English. We will practice writing using these rules and identifying them in a variety of written texts. Small changes can quickly build confidence in our learners and greater confidence will encourage greater freedom in their writing. Examples: * Is it "you and I" or "you and me"? * Should I use quotation marks or italics? * When is it inappropriate to begin a sentence with a conjunction? *Should I use "lay" or "lie"? *The rules of punctuation and quotation marks. As this is an on-going class, these rules will be presented in no particular order, learners are free to join at any time.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm Kristina...wife, mom of three boys and constant learner. I was a 2nd grade ESL teacher back in the day. I earned my graduate degree in education, yet have found I learn the most by remaining curious. I am a girly, girl at heart but have learned, in part from my sons, to be comfortable getting messy for the sake of learning (and just for fun)! I value the relationships in my life, accessibility of educational opportunities, travel, and exploring a variety of ways toward personal growth.

A few of my core educational beliefs:
Everyone has strengths.
There are never too many questions.
We all don't have to learn the same way.
Curiosity can (and should) be a spark.
Try it. Test it. Challenge it.
In a safe space, take risks.
No one can be a better you than you.
Be open. Be kind.
Have fun.
I am committed to being the best human being I can. My classes don't have a religious aspect, they are created to allow each student to gain greater self-awareness. With such awareness, students will be able to apply what they learn toward living their best life, whatever that means for them/your family. I am looking forward to sharing my interests and knowledge with you/your child(ren). Reviews
