**UPDATED DESCRIPTION** Since this class is now 1:1 private lessons, classes will be more student-led. We will still cover the topics listed below, but maybe not always in that exact order.

This class is all about improving the learner's grammar and punctuation. Every week presents the learner with a new topic on one or both of these elements of writing. Class starts with a brief description and lecture about the given topic (e.g. where and when to use a comma, how to spot a run on sentence, masterclass on the colon, etc.), and that will be followed by a handful of exercises and/or games. These can range from reading/writing passages, spotting mistakes in example sentences, and even Kahoots! The overall goal is that learners leave the class feeling more confident in their ELA skills. Weekly practice such as this can have lasting impacts on the strength of not only their writing, but their reading comprehension as well.

Writing is something that takes consistent practice. I recommend that students take this class for as long as they feel they need to. If this means taking certain sessions for a second or third time, even better! It's important for learners to realize that reading and writing are skills for lifelong learning, and sometimes we all need a bit of review in those areas.
