Handwriting Without Tears
All Ages
By combining proven instructional methodologies with unparalleled interactive tools, Handwriting Without Tears empowers K-8 students to cultivate the art of proper letter formation, facilitating the attainment of elegant penmanship. Sessions are held in person.
Institute for Excellence in Writing
K-8 Grades
In order to succeed in every area of life, children must hone the skills needed to communicate confidently and effectively. Through the process of learning to write well, students learn how to think clearly and to express themselves eloquently and persuasively. My goal is to equip you to assist your child in this process. Sessions are held in person or online.
The Lost Tools of Writing
7-12 Grades
The Lost Tools of Writing is an ideal composition curriculum for students in seventh through twelfth grade who already have a relatively solid understanding of grammar and sentence structure and who have at least a rudimentary amount of writing experience – and, most importantly, who are ready to think for themselves. I was a Classical Conversations Challenge Director, successfully teaching The Lost Tools of Writing to many high school students. Sessions are held in person or online.
