US Grade 2 - 5

This class is taught in English.

I have over 10 years of English tutoring experience, and I've enjoyed helping students with various types of speeches and essays. I've facilitated (in-person and online) writing lessons, English classes, and essay coaching sessions.

There is no homework. After class, learners/adults can send me their work and any questions via an Outschool message. If they want, I will provide additional feedback on drafts or finished essays (for no additional charge) for up to about 3 weeks after class.

  3 files available upon enrollment
Learners will need paper, pencils, and an eraser. Some students prefer to type up their great ideas, and that's cool. Feel free to print out the documents in the classroom, but learners don't need them.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Canva

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

I use Canva and/or Microsoft Word to create the lesson material. The documents in the classroom can be printed out, but learners don't need them. I share my screen during the meeting.
