Class Experience
In this class,students will learn how to craft a clear and effective thesis statement. There is no reason to use large words few people understand to make a paper sound more important.

As a tutor, I spend most of my time reading and editing essays (often times from college students!) I realized there is a real, ongoing need for this type of class. I use straightforward tips to demystify essay writing. My goal is to make a potentially stressful assignment as simple as possible. While earning my Master's degree in Creative Writing, I was anxious about my own 30 page extended critical essay. Luckily I had a wonderful teacher who gave me invaluable advice. I was able to turn a stressful situation into an enjoyable experience. I hope to carry on that legacy and pay it forward with the next generation.
A handout may be provided to give the students something tangible to review after class, but nothing will need read or purchased before class.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
