Our Live Classes are Currently Underway
Unfortunately our live classes have already begun, and we are not accepting applications at this time. Please check our course page for self-paced options or our tutoring services, which can begin anytime.
We meet once a week same day, same time — easy and predictable for busy schedules.
The year is broken up into two fifteen-week sessions with breaks built in to give everyone time to recharge.
Online quizzes and games reinforce what we are learning in class.
Weekly feedback and grades help students know exactly how to improve.
Live Classes with Mrs. Kijesky
Frontiers in Writing
This course is a great fit for elementary students who are new to IEW® or have some previous experience. Through a variety of engaging topics, students will learn how to organize their writing clearly and strengthen their style with each assignment.
Modern World History-Based Writing Lessons
This course invites students to explore significant events from around the world while learning to write about them with clarity and confidence. Through structured instruction, students will develop strong organization and an increasingly polished writing style.
STUDENTS:
Z has really thrived in your class.
He has always been a very reluctant writer and lacked confidence in his writing skills. Your class and the IEW method has really helped him to come out of the shell he was stuck in and encouraged him to write in a way that has proven to be very effective for him. I’m so grateful for your class. He has really enjoyed having you as his teacher!!
What will students learn?
Students practice organizational skills (like outlining) they can use across all subject areas.
Grammar is practiced in the context of familiar stories and short non-fiction texts.
Students organically grow their stash of vocabulary they use in their writing each week.
Live class discussions take place over Zoom with opportunities for students to listen, think, ask questions, and share ideas with others.
How does all that sound?
Are you ready for your students to be competent writers with the skills to carry them through life into their chosen career paths?
How would you like to turn your reluctant writer into a confident one?
Do you want to restore the relationship you feel like you are losing every time you tell your student to write something?
Let's meet!
My children have taken IEW® classes from Mrs. Cross for years and have thrived!
Having someone who can encourage, excite, and guide them through the writing process, while reading engaging passages with useful information has been such a blessing to our family.
My children are competent writers and this carries through to their other subjects.
IEW, under Mrs. Cross' guidance, has given them skills that will carry them through life into whatever career path they choose.
