Hello, I'm Sandy Bori, miss Sandy, to my students.

0:04

And I've been teaching English writing

0:08

and ESL

0:10

and SAT practice for many years to many people.

0:15

I've worked in elementary schools, universities, privately

0:19

and language centers.

0:21

And let me tell you, when Covid hit, I realized

0:25

that writing, teaching, writing online is really fantastic.

0:29

And now I love teaching writing online so that you

0:33

and I can write on the same page in Google Docs.

0:36

And I become your, uh, sort of companion

0:41

and writing pal in, uh, inside your computer.

0:45

And this is, uh, how I do it.

0:48

Imagine that your in class and your English teacher comes

0:53

and sits with you once a week at your desk

0:56

and teaches you, talks

0:58

to you about your writing for one hour.

1:01

And the next week she does the same.

1:03

And she explains the writing prompt, she does brainstorming

1:08

with you and you put, uh, you know,

1:11

throw ideas back and forth.

1:13

You, uh, maybe have a good laugh

1:16

and many of your ideas are really good,

1:19

and she helps you form them into perfect sentences.

1:22

And if you need help with grammar

1:24

or verbs, she fixes all that as you're going along.

1:28

You don't have to turn in the paper and then get your grade

1:31

and see your mistakes.

1:32

And that's all too slow.

1:33

This is very fast and efficient

1:36

and most of my corrections are, you will remember

1:40

because we talked about it so much.

1:42

So let's, uh, get together with you and your parents and I

1:46

and talk about a plan because

1:48

and writing is so important in high school and college,

1:53

and you will become an excellent writer

1:55

and have much success.

1:57

Thank you. Bye.
