Virtual Writing Sessions
Writing is vital. Students of all ages need to be competent writers. Writing, like reading, is a fundamental skill that ensures life-long success but requires commitment and practice.
Often many students need additional writing practice that the classroom teacher can't provide. That is why my virtual writing sessions can help come alongside his/her teacher to give that extra support.
In the writing sessions, the mission is to improve your student's writing by providing explicit instruction that targets your child's identified academic writing gaps.
Because it is important that your child feels safe to grow as a learner, I build that trust relationship by being patient and attentive to your child's needs.
As your child acquires his/her new skill set, I offer supportive feedback and positive encouragement along his/her writing journey.
What to expect from my 30-minute sessions is that your child will gain the confidence and competence of a strong writer.
