Creative outlets for children

How do we provide creative outlets? Our high school writing coaches give children the opportunity to express themselves through the written medium, be it in the form of an astronaut's adventure, a poem about nature, or a one act play.

METHODOLOGY

Our tutors conduct each one-on-one 30 minute virtual lesson with the end goal of developing the child's creative writing abilities. Furthermore, our tutors have extensive knowledge of the English language, and will point out grammar/spelling mistakes after reviewing the story's content.

Prompt + Brainstorm
Our tutor provides a custom prompt based on the child's interests. We then walk them through a quick brainstorming process (give them a starting place).

Craft 
With a creative narrative in mind, the child crafts their fictional short story. The tutor allots roughly 10-15 minutes for the child to write.

Review
Our tutor then goes over the story with the child, first looking for ways to better develop the child's creative voice, before explaining grammar/spelling errors.
