I am a published freelance writer. I also have over 20 years of experience in helping elementary and middle school students learn how to write with excellence.

Each week, the learner will receive a homework assignment to practice the writing skill that was covered in class. This assignment should take no longer than one hour. The student should upload the assignment to the classroom before the next assigned class. The teacher will make corrections and send the assignment back to the student. The writing assignment will be discussed in the next class briefly before the new class topic is introduced.

Assessments will be informal unless a parent requests otherwise. Frequent parent feedback will be given to help parents know how their learner is progressing in improving in his/her writing skills.

25 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
