For Parents

Is your child applying to college? Liz prepares students for the SAT Writing Section and coaches kids on the fine art of writing college application essays.

Interested in one-on-one or small group writing sessions for your middle school child? How about a dose of pain-free grammar? Liz guides students through multi-draft writing as they plan and write short stories, poems and one-act plays. As students build their writing skills, they learn how to avoid common spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors that even stump adults.

Does your child love to write? Liz is forming a writing club for kids in early 2010. The club will give kids a chance to write short stories, share their work and give and receive feedback in a supportive environment.

Home-schooled kids welcome.
