Grades Offered

I have 6+ years experience adapting lessons for a variety of learning styles including neurodiverse learners (autism, adhd, dyslexia) & learners with processing delays/other disabilities. Happy to discuss further to support each learner :) 

This class can be adapted for learners needing additional language/writing support. Typically the course is designed to teach independent writers to increase & build upon their use of literary tools and avenues of inspiration.
