Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
If your children are reluctant writers and can't seem to figure out the hidden strategies of writing, well, this is an ideal course for them.  This is a semi-private course to try to ensure that your child learns how to write.  It will focus on helping struggling writers gain the confidence to construct a three-paragraph Essay by reviewing some basic strategies to implement and improve writing immediately.  I can and will be providing some SENTENCE-BY-SENTENCE guidance during the Expository and Persuasive writing sections because of the strategies I will be teaching.  This is a powerful technique to help correct any structural problems that the learner might be encountering.   THIS IS A 15-20 DAY COURSE depending on how it is listed.
