Sometimes, with too many restrictions or none at all, writing can feel like drudgery. However, when employed skillfully, writing is the clearest and most profound method of communication. With templates and guidance that I’ve accumulated from years of writing experience, I am equipped to coach your child to writing more effectively, coherently, and creatively. In school, English and language arts have always been my strongest subjects. I was always intrigued by the prospect of taking a prompt and responding to it as creatively as possible. For a while, I struggled to translate the depth of my critical thinking from class discussions into my writing. When I finally understood the importance of an outline, it didn’t feel like a limitation; rather, it helped me provide a sense of clarity to my writing. After all, what use is a good idea if one cannot communicate it to others? I come from a family of teachers. The collaborative and fundamental approach that I take is a pedagogy that runs deep. The ultimate joy for me is to impart my knowledge and skills to others and to see how they take those skills and make it their own. It is why I constantly seek mentorship or coaching positions like assistant directing a choir and tutoring English in college. I would love to speak to you and your student to see if we are a good fit! When I am not coaching students, I enjoy reading and writing fiction and mythology. I am a self-taught digital artist and avid concert-goer. I also love to cook, practice yoga, and learn something new! https://www.anishapatwardhan.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2024-08-20 https://www.anishapatwardhan.com/k-4th-grade-writing daily 0.75 2023-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3463784c6f075c43f27062/1600980368481-N4WXL28Q4ENAZZR6IXC9/Kids+writing+example.jpg K-4th Grade Writing - Writing is supposed to be fun! For students in 4th grade and below, I believe that the focus should not be on structure; rather, beginning writers should learn how to write their ideas down. Creative thought takes little to no effort for these students. I want them to learn how to explain and articulate their ideas, whether it’s for a book report, recording observations, or for an original story. I will be helping these students communicate their ideas with clarity and encourage accurate use of grammar. As a visual and performing artist, I know that sometimes, we find the words we need by drawing or diagramming them first. I want to make sure that writing becomes a fun and fulfilling activity that younger students can already start using to express themselves. https://www.anishapatwardhan.com/reading daily 0.75 2020-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3463784c6f075c43f27062/1602889735738-6P35892Z266Q9P8NTTUT/book-read-book-pages-literature-preview.jpg Reading - Reading is the foundation for excellent writing. Something that I heavily emphasize in my methodology is reading a lot of different types of literature. Avid readers encounter so many new and complex terms that they are able to incorporate into their everyday speech and writing. Some students have fallen out of love with reading. My goal is to share fun and interesting reading material so that we can delve into reading comprehension and use this literature as a basis for our writing topics.
