Dear Parents:
As the Writing Coach, I offer a full complement of writing and reading coaching for children from 9 to 18 years old. Getting the right tutoring early on can make a huge difference in academic achievement in middle and high school, and in college, too. Good communication skills are essential at any grade level.
Besides being a professional writer for most of my life, I am a college writing professor. I have also conducted many seminars and workshops for parents and children to help improve children's academic outcomes through improved communication skills. In addition, I have been privately tutoring children and young adults for many years in our area.
I can offer your children various types of help with their writing, from conception to final draft, and guidance with grammar, syntax, diction, and spelling. Clear writing springs from clear thinking and thoughtful planning. Most students do not take the time to make sure their ideas are both clear and clearly expressed. Writing should be an adventure. Unfortunately, for many children it's a chore--something about which they feel inadequate. Some write without a clear destination or goal in mind (their writing is muddled), while others are so apprehensive about making "mistakes" that they are terrified to put their ideas down on paper. I can help them become more disciplined with their ideas and their writing--and still have fun doing it!
To get a better sense of your children's needs, I would be happy to speak with you in person. Specifically, I would like to know what writing issues you think your children are dealing with so I can craft a program that addresses their personal needs. You can contact me at adecrosta@gmail.com or phone me at 856-316-2541 when you have a chance. We can chat for a few minutes and decide on the best path forward.
I look forward to speaking with you on this important matter.
Sincerely,
Anthony A. DeCrosta, M.F.A.
The Writing Coach
