About

Level: Intermediate High through Advanced High according to ACTFL (see: https://www.actfl.org/resources/actfl-proficiency-guidelines-2012/english/writing) Mission: Allowing composition (writing) to hold prominence in modern culture by presenting it as an art form that can enhance one's perspective of themselves, their local community, and the world at large. About: A "safe" place for individuals to explore their writing talent in various styles of prose and poetry. This is a group that provides constructive feedback on their peers' writing and encourages further composition development as well as self-discovery. This series will include meetups for all styles from writing an article to a diary, academic writing, and even storytelling! Hope to see you in the group!

View Profile

I'm currently double majoring in Physics and Dance at Oberlin College, with a focus on biomechanics and the intersection of software and movement in dance training and performance. While I'm not actively tutoring at the moment, I previously led sessions across a wide range of subjects during the COVID-19 pandemic—including Spanish, literature, history, and Calculus. I’ve worked with both U.S. and CBSE curricula and even developed some original lesson plans along the way. If you're into topics like Labanotation (kinetography), dance analysis, physics of movement, prosthetics, or machine learning, we’d probably have a lot to talk about.

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

𝗨𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀: If you miss two meetup sessions without at least 8-hour notice, you will be removed from the series.

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀: If you notify me of your absence at least 8 hours in advance, it will be excused.

𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗲: Because this group promotes a collaborative and friendly atmosphere for writing, it is imperative that you make as many meetups as possible to support your fellow writers as they are attending meetups to support you! If you are going on vacation, have a scheduling conflict, etc. make sure you give advance notice, thanks!

Do note: you will be withdrawn from the workshop if your writing does not fall in the levels listed at the top of the description by the first two sessions. This is to ensure the best environment for everyone.
