One on One (1:1) Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) Tutoring

In this ongoing class, your learner will learn methods and stylistic techniques through the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) curriculum for lessons 1-15.  This class is highly interactive during the class time and throughout the week. The learner needs to be able write a simple sentence and read fairly independently.  If you are concerned if your learner is at the proper reading level, please message me and I can send a sample for you to review.  You will need to purchase Writing Lessons Student book.  You will also need The Student Resource Packet which is a free download when you purchase the student book from the Institute for Excellence in Writing website. 

The following is a sample of topics for classes:
*Introduce new concepts/structural model.
*Follow the lesson instructions to read the source text, make a key word outline, and tell back the meaning of each line of notes.
*Review the key word outline. If a note is unclear, check the source text and add what you need in order to understand it.
*Read about it and complete the practice exercise for it.
*After you are sure you understand your outline, write a paragraph(s) using only the outline. Try not to look back at the source text while you are writing. Write in your own words. Follow the checklist and indicate the required elements as instructed.
*Study the vocabulary words for the present lesson.
* Check each item on the checklist when you are sure you have completed it. Let an editor proofread.
*Write or type a final draft making any corrections your editor asked you to make.
 Check off each item on the checklist when you have included and labeled it.
