Homework
Formal homework will not be assigned. I may suggest an exercise to help consolidate learning and help the student move forward but this will not be compulsory.
Assessment
Assessment will take place by continuous feedback during class. Depending on the class subject matter, I may suggest uploading a piece to the class page afterwards, for which I will provide written feedback. Grades will not be given as the focus is on improving understanding and building confidence rather than setting out to achieve a grade-driven goal.

Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Whether it's wanting to improve an aspect of creative writing or organising non-fiction report writing; help with sentence structuring or planning a piece of persuasive writing; help with descriptions that bring your ideas to life or focusing on how to look at your work and edit it effectively, or simply wanting to tighten up grammatical areas (such as punctuation, verbs, nouns, tenses, plurals and singular, etc) help is at hand.
This is very much YOUR lesson and once you let me know what area you would like to work on- or even if you want pointers generally- I will prepare a lesson for your requirements. We will work through in a relaxed atmosphere at your own pace. Building your confidence is every bit as important as nailing those tricky aspects!
You will have some written tasks during class which we'll go over together for feedback and which will vary depending on what we're working on (there may be worksheets to bring to class, which I will create and upload in advance).
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding and application of various aspects of writing. Particular aspects will depend upon student requirements but may include:
sentence structure
planning a creative or non-fiction piece of writing
expanding vocabulary with descriptive terms
foundations of grammar (clauses, articles, tenses etc), 
writing dialogue
direct and reported speech
persuasive writing
building an argument
inference
elements of preparation for SATS English (UK students)
verbs
and so on.
