Our Approach
1 to 6 student teacher ratio.
We use a structured, step-by-step approach that starts at the sentence level, so any student, regardless of ability, can grow in their writing.
From the sentence, we move to a single paragraph outline, full paragraph, and finally, a full-length essay.
With our clear, explicit instruction, we are so excited to empower your child to enter the school year, feeling confident and armed with the tools to express themselves.
Who We Are
Hi! Our names are Lana and Brenda and we are educators with over a decade of experience. We believe writing is an essential skill every child deserves to have. Too many students are not being taught explicit skills to make their writing clear, fluid, and compelling. In our camp, we teach from the ground up, using scaffolded approaches from the sentence level that build over time to create competent single paragraphs and full length essays. With warmth, humor, and a lot of compassion, we make our classrooms come to life.
Your child will leave with…
Practical skills to structure clear and compelling sentences and paragraphs.
Confidence in their ability to organize thoughts and turn ideas into words.
Strategies for breaking down writing tasks into manageable steps.
Creativity to craft engaging and thoughtful pieces.
Tools for notetaking, self-editing and revising with purpose.
