We brought Kate in last fall (FY11) after our son (5th grade) was experiencing challenges with his math and creative writing. After working with him every other week for a 4 months and scaling back to once a month, I am very proud to say that in his year end celebration yesterday (May 2012) he not only made the MERIT HONOR Roll, but was selected to receive a PRESIDENTIAL ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT award for his high AIMS test scores.

She has no need to be patient, though I am a bit of a novice, because she ENJOYS what she is doing or teaching. Will most GLADLY continue the learning process with Jenny and the many wonderful features the BLOG offers to someone who likes to dabble in creative writing,etc. She is more than diligent and intelligent to ensure the best learning experience for her students or clients and adaptable to meet their need(s) Thank You.
Alexandra S.

13 lessons

The focuses of the lessons was creative writing and implementing the newly acquired curriculum vocabulary. Taking an idea/topic, developing an outline, fleshing out, meeting all the needs of the reader. Creating a dialog between writer and reader. I feel that my son is greatly improved in his writing and communicating his ideas. Denise is obviously a very talented teacher, we would recommend her to anyone who is serious about writing and willing to work for it!
