👋 Hello New Outschool learners and families,
I am Shaayna - The Handwriting Tutor and I am focused on making handwriting help accessible to all, remotely. My sessions provide onscreen demonstrations and continuous feedback to improve handwriting samples in live time. Since joining the Outschool team, I have written with over 1,500 learners from all around the world! 🗺️
As an occupational therapist I am sharing over a decade of experience in the form of simple yet helpful handwriting tips and techniques online. My handwriting philosophy is progress over perfection, because written communication should be functional and purposeful. If you can communicate ideas through the written language and someone else can read your message, we’ve succeeded. 📝
By Fall 2025, I will expand from just handwriting to provide sensory play and life skills classes. Sensory play classes for Outschool's youngest learners will focus on pre-handwriting and cognitive skills surrounding letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. Life skills classes for Outschool's oldest learners will review basic self-care skills as well as other instrumental skills of daily life with an emphasis on independence and safety in the home and community. I am so excited for these additions, and I hope you are too! 🤩
When I am not online providing handwriting instruction, you can find me creating handwriting help content for social media. There I share more handwriting help resources such as engaging handwriting prompts and interactive fine motor activities. I truly enjoy connecting with parents and professionals focused on facilitating an enriching childhood.
In addition to my role as THT, I am a few other fun things…
・a wife, mom, step-mom, and fur-mom 🫶
・a homeschooler to my neurodivergent middle-schooler 📚👧
・a playmate to my pre-schooler 🧸👶
・a native South Floridian, who often visits WDW 🍊🛣️
・an avid coffee drinker and Girl Scout cookie snacker 🍪☕️
・an English and Spanish speaker 🗣️
Join me in one (or more) of my Outschool classes to learn more about how I can help with your handwriting, sensory play, and life skill needs.
