I've been teaching Essay Writing to high school and middle school students for my entire career. I specialized in Senior Composition writing courses for fifteen years. I teach high school essay writing from a college freshman perspective, even utilizing college textbooks and course materials. High school essay writing covers nine genres, including exemplification, narrative, descriptive, compare & contrast, definition, classification & division, process, cause & effect, and argumentation. Middle schoolers will cover up to seven of these genres, plus expository essay writing. All levels might just need a tutorial or a refresher on the actual writing process, including pre-writing, organizing ideas, outlining, thesis formation, drafting, revising, editing, and presentation. If this sounds like what you need, contact me!
