Hi there! I've taught on Outschool for almost four years. Prior to that, I was a professional writer/journalist, and I hold degrees from UNC-Chapel Hill in French literature and journalism. I have five kids of my own, all of whom have different learning styles, but the one approach that works for all of them is to make writing fun. My goal is to help students understand that they CAN write, and, more importantly, they can write WELL.
Homework Offered
After watching the video, students should write their own descriptive paragraph and submit it to me for evaluation.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
My one-page evaluation examines a student's organization/structure, grammar, and overall writing style. I always offer compliments on what a student does well along with ideas for improvement.Grades Offered
