HEY PARENTS!
Have You Ever Had These Thoughts?
This writing assignment my child brought home looks really hard.
What exactly is the teacher asking?
Where do I start?
How will I show my kid how to do this?
Omgosh I don't have 3 hours right now to devote to, not only teaching my kid how to do their essay, but figuring it out for myself in the first place.
Why didn't my child learn how to do this in class?
​
HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS!
The Confident Composition Course(s) takes the pressure off you and teaches your student how to envision the general outline, map out the essay, generate supporting details, and create a solid finished product.

GREETINGS!
Meet Your Instructor
Hello There! I’m Kristen. My career in education started over 20 years ago when I became a middle school teacher. I've been fortunate to work with students in various settings, focusing on helping them to overcome challenges in the classroom.
​
My mission is to show the awesome teens and preteens in this world that writing doesn’t have to be a painful process, but rather a more streamlined, non-cryptic, and even joyful process. I also strive to make life just a little bit easier for parents!
