1:1 マスタークラス: 素晴らしいエッセイの書き方

Essay writing is the core of all great writing skills. 

Learn to write great essays and one not only masters the ability to express big ideas with clarity and style--an essential skill necessary in school and beyond in the world world-- but gains the confidence to write everything, from short stories to scientific reports to novels,  with verve and style.  

This intensive 1:1 MasterClass will give learners the opportunity to do just that.

My whole method of teaching throughout all my classes is to listen to and respond to learners.  I value their input--I care deeply about what they have to say and what they think.

Depending on the needs of the learner and their families, these 1:1 sessions can be a single session, two or three sessions, or ongoing. 

Moreover, amongst other things we will cover:

--Strategies for Reading
--Responding to What You Read
--Considering One's Purpose and Audience
--How to Come Up With A Subject and Brainstorm Effectively
--How to Draft
--How To Revise With Skill
--How to Edit and Proofread
--How to Write Cogent and Clear Paragraphs
--How to Give Your Own Writing Your Own Individual Style

We will of course cover the basics of essay writing--explaining the how and why of the step  by step format (intro/thesis/points of discussion/conclusion); but expand the basics to explore  how descriptive and narrative writing will enhance all essays.  Depending on the needs and requirements of the learner we can explore all types of essays:

--Expository
--narrative
--Persuasive
--Argumentative
--Example
--Classification
--Process analysis
--Compare/Contrast
--Definition
--Cause and Effect

This class will be guided by the needs of each individual learner. Every writer has definite strengths and areas that can be enhanced.

Much of the learning from this class will be drawn from my own well-established classes on Outschool:
