English Writing & Grammar - Learn from a Published Author! Make Your Writing Clear and Effective!
In this day and age, writing is usually the way that we make our first impressions. Whether through text or email, our writing greatly reflects our professionalism and skills. I am a TESL-certified English teacher of over 7 years. I have taught students from all over the world, and I prioritize organization and friendliness to provide a productive student-centred learning experience. This class focuses on grammar and writing. As a published author and editor, I am an expert in grammar and sentence structure. I can help you: -Fix grammatical mistakes and help you understand the rules behind the errors. -Make your sentences more effective and easier to read. -Guide and edit to make your writing more concise and concrete. -Teach you skills to self-edit and improve punctuation and sentence structure. With a gentle and knowledgeable instructor, we can improve your English writing in a short period of time. I often use "The Blue Book of Grammar And Punctuation" by Lester Kaufman and Jane Straus to help supplement my lessons.
