Here is what one Outschool parent has to say about this class:
💬"I really appreciate how the teacher looks over and writes suggestions on improving my child’s writing and paper. I like how the class is taught to write quality sentences with variations. I think even a beginner writer or reluctant writer can benefit from this class."

*Leaves of Learning Academy is an organization on Outschool with about 18 teachers. Occasionally, the teacher for this class may not be able to teach and a substitute teacher from the organization will take her place. Only teachers trained to teach this class will serve as a possible substitute for the class. A message will be posted in the Outschool classroom before the class takes place in the event a substitute will be teaching. I am happy to offer a refund to any learner who prefers not to attend the class with a substitute. Please send a message through Outschool in that event and I will issue a refund. Thank you!
