Embark on a summer adventure to boost writing skills! In this one-on-one class, we'll use fun summer themes and plenty of summer camp inspiration to practice writing, engage in feedback, and strengthen skills typical for their age level.
Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 4
My one-on-one "tutoring style" class follows the state of Florida's English Language Arts Standards for your child's grade level. How This 1-on-1 Class Works: My goal is to make your child's summer learning as fun and relaxed as possible! I will use the first class to evaluate your child's skills using the state of Florida's standards for their age level. The "evaluation" consists of a relaxed discussion with your child and some fun writing practice through worksheets that I will provide...
This class is taught in English.
- Students will improve their handwriting, printing, and writing for their needs and age or grade level.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Central Florida, Certified Creative Writing instructor from the University of Central Florida, teaching experience for students ages 6-9 and a homeschool parent of a child in this age range.

Homework
Frequency: Available upon requestFeedback: Available upon requestDetails: Since this is a one-on-one class, homework needs will be customized for your child. First, the parent must desire homework outside the course. If this is true, I will provide 30-60 minutes of homework each week for the student. The amount will depend on the need: If we're practicing handwriting, you'll get handwriting practice through worksheets or assignment instructions (like a handwriting craft). If we're practicing writing expository texts, your child may get one writing prompt to complete that we can then look at in the next class.Assessment
Frequency: Available upon requestDetails: I will assess the student in the first class and then build their upcoming classes based on that information. Homework will help to provide an assessment as to what is needed next for the child. This course is ongoing, so unless we discuss a set number of classes, we will continue to build skills until you decide to end. There will be assignments in each class, so I will evaluate progress week-to-week. Parents are welcome to inquire about progress anytime. I will provide parents with notes or feedback week-to-week. Sometimes, it will be just a few lines of information, but you will be notified as to how they are doing. You will also get copies of their blank and completed worksheets and assignments. I will save a "formal" assessment until the end of our tutoring together. If the parent desires, I will provide a customized "end of course" assessment for their student in their last week of class. This may look like a quiz or performing writing/handwriting.
Students should have some initial experience writing OR practicing handwriting at one of the following levels: Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th grade (Approximate ages 6-9)
Students will need access to a printer to print out worksheets and materials. They will need something to write with in class, including writing utensils and paper or a notebook. It may help to have a folder or binder to keep assignments in. Depending on the student, they may desire to have a tablet or laptop.
I use Scholastic Teachables for some of my worksheets. Others I create on my own. Parents will be able to see the sheets or assignments before the student completes them.
