Hey homeschool mommas, do you need a little boost with your writing instruction at home?
If you are local in the central Alabama area, consider joining a group writing class or scheduling an individual coaching session with Aimee Smith.
Writing Coaching
Interested in one-on-one coaching?
Does something seem off in your student’s paper, but you’re not quite sure what the problem is? Do you need help grading middle and high school essays? Does your student seem stuck in their writing skills?
Schedule a time to sit down for a personal coaching session with Aimee Smith. Together, we can figure out a plan to help your student move forward or to help you grade their papers. These sessions can be Aimee/parent/student or Aimee/parent.

Homeschool Writing Classes
Looking for a writing class for your middle or high school student?
In this 7-week class, we will work on writing two types of essays: a research report and a persuasive essay. Instruction will be given for the basic building blocks and the process of effective writing. We will walk through the entire writing process twice from pre-writing to revisions as we craft two papers together as a class.
Students will then use what they learned to write at home and return to class with completed assignments. Assignments will be doable for all middle/high school students, and they will be tailored to fit the skill level of individual students. Concepts will be added for advanced writers as needed so everyone is challenged.
Moms, you will provide two writing topics for your student’s at-home papers, so these can complement your other studies. I will provide guidance for the prompts and further help if needed. Additionally, I will provide assessment of these at-home papers and offer feedback for your student’s next steps in writing.
Early registration deadline is July 28. Classes begin August 14.
