US Grade 4 - 7
This course will help students learn how to write an essay in response to a question in a well constructed and concise manner. As students get older it becomes increasingly important to know how to be pointed, concise, and mechanically sound when writing assignments and exams. Those who possess this valuable skill will benefit from it in and out of school for the rest of their lives. Becoming a confident, capable writer begins with mastering the skills to compose evidence-based short-response writing. Fortunately, when it comes to developing proficient short-response writers, simplicity leads to success. The structure of the class is as follows: - Reading of the short text and covering related materials. - Having a discussion on the details of the topic. - Going over the question presented. - Practice structuring the response essay using the strategy of restating the question, answering the question by making a claim, supporting the claim with evidence and finally writing a conclusion. For the final few minutes of class we will have a discussion on the plan we came up with for the essay and I will respond to any further questions students may have. After going over the plan and structure of the essay, students will begin writing their essay independently which should be completed throughout the week. I encourage all students who would like to improve their writing skills to join this lesson and I look forward to seeing everyone in class. Thank you for your consideration. Yours truly, Rob Ellsworth

Hello, my name is Rob Ellsworth and I am an English teacher that strives to equip students with the necessary tools and understanding to excel in communication in English. Being able to speak and write well in English can make a big difference when growing up and I take pride in helping my students develop such abilities. It is always rewarding to see my students achieve their goals and reach their potential.
Up until now, I have been an English teacher for 14 years in both on-line and in-person settings. I'm a TESOL certified instructor with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Honours Political Science. Over my years of teaching I have worked as a full-time English instructor in both primary and secondary schools as well as in private after school programs. After living and working in China and Japan for 8 years I returned home to Canada, where I continue to teach private English classes in both in-person and on-line settings.
I appreciate the time you spent getting to know me a little and I would love to see you or your child in one of my classes.
Yours truly,
Rob Ellsworth
