Do you have a reluctant writer? Does you learner need to gain confidence in their writing skills? Do you have a learner who loves to write, but needs help with reaching that next level? If so, you have come to THE RIGHT PLACE. In this interactive introductory course, students will have fun learning about the The Writing Process, a basic paragraph structure, and building an opinion essay with a topic sentence, supporting reasons/examples, and closure. This class is a great fit for families who have learners who need support in writing, but don't want a long commitment or big out-of-pocket cost to start. It's also a perfect solution for families who may want to take a writing class, but would like to get to know my teaching style and instructional strategies before making the commitment (although you won't regret it!). In this class, learners will get to interact with the teacher and each other through discussion, games, slides, Q&A, video clips (and more!) in a safe and engaging environment! In our classroom, fun is a priority and a growth mindset is shared between students and teacher alike. I set clear success criteria and use proven instructional strategies to help move students from good writers to great writers AND from reluctant writers to excited writers! In this class, my teaching style is very interactive-- students will be asked to be responsive. Experience or previous knowledge of writing formats listed is not required, but learners should have basic reading and letter formation skills. Regardless of the learner's fondness for writing (or lack thereof!), at the end of this course they will walk away more confident with tackling that next writing assignment! And, perhaps most importantly, this course will prioritize a love for learning and who knows... maybe even inspire a love of writing, too! If, after this "sampler" class, your learner decides to enroll in my ongoing writing tutoring, you will receive a coupon for the first week! Can't wait!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Utah Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
On a personal note, I am the proud mama of twin toddler girls! I love camping, going for walks, playing at the lake, watching movies, concerts.... and all things summer!
I also have a passion for teaching writing! I am currently a licensed school teacher with a Masters Degree in Elementary Education. I have found a lot of success in teaching early literacy. I have been offered a literacy coach position in my district as a result of regularly producing significant growth in my students' reading fluency. I am also a big believer in helping instill a love of learning in every learner!
I believe all children can learn within a safe and engaging environment. An ideal digital classroom is student-centered and a growth mindset is shared between teachers and students alike. I set clear expectations and continually strive to use proven instructional strategies and assessment to inform instruction. In turn, students are given ample opportunities to interact with their knowledge using their own learning style. I have a passion for helping students stretch themselves beyond what they thought possible-- and have fun doing it!
