(If you need a time other than those currently offered on my schedule, please let me know. I can work with you for a more convenient time to meet. You may want to meet once, or you may want to meet multiple times.)

There are several reasons for students to take one-on-one classes. For some, there is a need to learn at a different pace (more quickly or more slowly). Others may want to focus on a specific area of study. Still, others may simply excel more easily in a one-on-one setting. Whichever way is most beneficial for you, if you are you ready to become a stronger and more confident writer, together, we can make that happen! 

I enjoy a relaxed and conversational atmosphere. I must admit, I also enjoy a good laugh during teaching sessions, so let's enjoy our words together!

In these one-on-one sessions, we can focus on a variety of ways to become better writers. Parents and I will discuss how we should proceed with each learner, and we can communicate as needed throughout our time together. Since these are private tutoring sessions, we will complete as much material as is appropriate each week, and we'll pick up from there in the following session. We can choose from the areas of study listed below or create a combination:
* grammar;
* paragraph structure and creation;
* quick-writes that become five-paragraph essays;
* writing essays using mentor texts;
* using kernel essays to become stronger at getting initial thoughts on paper;
* various writing tools (hooks, truisms, text structures and much more);
* academic vocabulary;
* learning poetic forms;
* and using mentor poems to create your own unique poems.
