課題

週あたり 1-2 時間. Students are guided to complete a weekly assignment; the lessons build on each other and students will bring completed drafts to each class. We workshop pieces (students are given guidance on how to be a member of a supportive community of writers.)

評価

I give ongoing feedback via line edits and suggestions on documents, as well as one-on-one coaching in class.

Beginner レベル向け

This engaging 8-week course prepares students to participate in two New York Times Student Writing Contests. Students will develop both instructional and personal narrative writing skills through creating How-to Articles (400 words) and Tiny Memoirs (100 words).

I am a supportive, patient teacher with 27 years' experience in the classroom and 5 years' experience as a remote instructor. 

Each class has a presentation that is the root of the class with essential information in it as well as hyperlinks to documents and mentor texts. The classroom is arranged chronologically with all lessons loaded prior to the class beginning; however, each lesson posts the day we meet.  

I use real-life examples and use the students' writing as a teaching tool, reinforcing grammar concepts in context. Students will interact with me via Zoom and I make a point of spending one on one time with each student during their writing time. I coach them in real time as well as give line edits on the work they submit.

I am an English teacher of 27 years, remote instructor/tutor since 2020, and a freelance book editor.
As an educator/tutor, I specialize in working with college students, college-bound high schoolers, At-Risk populations, struggling learners, and people for whom English is a second language.
I began teaching online during Covid, found that I love it, and I have been teaching various writing classes remotely for the past five years, in addition to being a 9th grade English teacher. 
I recognize the need for those I work with to understand the “why” behind the corrections I suggest, and my experiences as an educator and author makes me both easy to work with and incredibly thorough in both line-editing and developmental notes. Since 2008, I have experienced the gamut of publishing outlets: traditional, hybrid, and self. 

I utilize my grammar-goddess-like skills to provide caring, knowledgeable feedback to students, always balancing suggestions with praise. I always reinforce to students that they do NOT have to accept the storyline changes I suggest, although I strongly recommend they listen to me when it comes to grammar. I emphasize that this story is THEIR story, not mine, and it does not hurt my feelings if they do not want to use my suggestions to their story.

I am the author of the YA novels Find the Moon, Big Fat Disaster, The Patience Trilogy (Courage in Patience, Hope in Patience, and Truth in Patience), and co-author of the creative non-fiction book Trauma Recovery: Sessions with Dr. Matt (Ayni Books).
Authenticity and finding one’s voice are frequent themes in my work, and they are absolutely essential themes in my life, as well.

I have a B.A. in English, Minor in Secondary Education, and an M.Ed. in Reading. At the end of the 2024-2025 school year, I am retiring from the public school classroom and embracing remote teaching full-time! :)
