I'm a proven Outschool teacher with over a year of experience creating, revising, and perfecting virtual classes.  I am a certified teacher with 15+ years of teaching in the public, private, homeschool, university, online, or private tutoring sector. I have a business communication degree, a writing minor, and a teaching certificate. I have a dynamic teaching style and animated approach to teaching and learning. I am a mental health workshop facilitator which provides resiliency skills to kids through games, role-playing, crafts, and Socratic group discussions.  I've taken writer's notebook workshops and have years of classroom experience implementing this in my classroom and tutoring sessions. I've created multiple writing lessons that utilize a variety of techniques to help students become lifelong writers. 

Parent reviews: Miss Wendy is a great teacher, she ensures everyone's participation and keeps class very engaged.
My 9-year-old daughter said the teacher taught the class a lot of new writing techniques, ways to make up a short story, and that it's okay to write short snippets in your own personal journal - it doesn't always have to be full paragraphs. She said the teacher was very nice.

My daughter enjoyed this class so much that we're registering for the next class by Wendy right after this class!

My daughter loved this class.  We actually signed her up for the intermediate class starting tomorrow.  She really liked the teacher and how she interacted.

Great class for the reluctant writer! I plan to sign up for the next classes in the series. 

This kept my 7 and 9 year old fully engaged and they had fun!  Wendy was able to keep them busy, class engaged and all together in the project.   My kids both URG when I have them do their writing so this was a great way to show them that writing can be fun and doesn't have to be a certain way or perfect.  It was so inspiring that I think I will have them show me how create my own journal.  Loved this and hope to join in future classes.  Looking forward to seeing how my kids use their journals and if it inspires them to continue and love to write.  Especially, since one of my kids has expressed in interest in writing his own book someday since he LOVES LOVES LOVES to read!!!
