Description:
Organizational Tutors created this club to support reluctant writers in overcoming resistance to writing. Through this program your student will build resilience and approach a fresh academic year with new confidence. Together we will explore why writing presents a particular challenge. Our goal is to equip your student with tailored strategies based on their unique learning profile to build the skills, growth mindset, grit, and persistence to push through and become comfortable with writing. Led by one of our expert coaches, each weekly session will focus on selected skills associated with a different component of executive functioning and how it impacts writing.
This is a great opportunity for students to receive a condensed writing overview without the commitment of longer-term tutoring.
