Beginner Level
This course focuses on tackling common English writing errors and tricky words, serving as a mastery workshop rather than a full English curriculum. It's a dynamic addition to both homeschooling and traditional language arts programs. The syllabus contains a detailed list of the specific topics we will cover. In our specialized No Red Ink classroom, each student receives a unique account tailored to their interests. This platform personalizes activities based on individual preferences, allowing students to practice at their own pace with content aligned to their interests. Alongside my weekly lessons with concise, pre-recorded explanations for each week's word group, students can access brief tutorials during their practice sessions, empowering them to master content independently. My aim is not just to ensure content mastery but also to instill in all my students a passion for learning and a pursuit of excellence. I look forward to working with your learners!
