About

There are only 20 slots available for each version of this series, so register quickly! To make sure the series can be hosted, we need at least 5 learners registered by the start date.
๏ปฟ
Twice a week, we'll go over the steps to writing powerful and noteworthy essays by breaking essay writing into chunks and engage in fun exercises to build stronger academic writing.
๏ปฟ
We will create an essay together with a topic of your choice and also sample a variety of topics through practice exercises.
๏ปฟ
Let me know if you are interested in participating, but the times and/or dates don't work out for you. I may be willing to make an adjustment.
๏ปฟ
Note: This series will be fast paced. My availability is really limited, so in order to finish within the ten week margin, if I am unable to host both days, or you are forced to miss both weekly sessions, slides and a review activity will be made available in the assessments folder for your convenience! ๐Ÿ™‚
๏ปฟ
Extra Note: If you've already completed the series, I recommend that you still register again. The main group will be going further than the last times this has been hosted, and there will be both extra enrichment opportunities, and the chance to "teach the group."
๏ปฟ
Additionally, if you've completed the series priorly, you're welcome to apply as a co-host! I'd love to have you.
๏ปฟ
๐Ÿ“ Session Length: Estimate around 8-10 sessions and up to 4 office hour sessions within a span of 16 weeks. Dates and times are tentative.

View Profile

Hello everyone! My name is Amanda, and I am a sophomore student from Virginia, attending boarding school in another state. I specialize in essay writing here on Schoolhouse, as well as the development of creative narratives. Beyond reading and writing, I'm a creative writer, and I've won a Scholastic Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable Mention. I was also an editor for my former school's literary magazine, receiving 2nd place at a state wide competition for my individual work, and highest honors as a school. I currently write for my school newspaper and literary magazine, and run a book review column on the newspaper. I'm a cross country skier, and also participate on my school's Debate Team. I have a lead role in my school's winter One Acts play. I'm an engaged member of investment club and love volunteering as a peer tutor at my school. can't wait to get to know you.

โœ‹ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please try to attend as many sessions as possible. If you just want access to the material and can't attend, that's totally fine too.

I appreciate it when learners let me know of absences in advance, but it's not required.

I just ask that you catch yourself either through scheduling office hours, or going through content individually, before coming to a session. It makes everything smoother for everyone!โญ
