Writing Doesn't Have to Suck! (ages 11-14) - Cobb County GA Residents
VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON SESSIONS FOR COBB COUNTY, GEORGIA RESIDENTS (Smyrna/Marietta)
If your kid would rather clean their room, eat vegetables, or watch paint dry than write a paragraph, you've come to the right coach!
Give your reluctant writer the individualized attention they need to overcome their unique writing challenges.
Perfect for middle schoolers (grades 6-8) who:
- The Blank Page Starer: Can sit for an hour and produce exactly zero words
- The Speed Demon: Writes three sentences in two minutes and calls it done
- The Perfectionist Paralyzed: Won't write anything because it won't be good enough
- The "My Writing is Boring" Believer: Convinced their thoughts aren't worth sharing
- The Assignment Avoider: Suddenly develops mysterious illnesses when essays are due
- The Smart Kid Who "Can't Write": Brilliant in discussion, blank on paper
Through one-on-one coaching, we identify exactly what's holding your child back and create a customized plan to build their confidence and skills. Each session is tailored to your child's interests, learning style, and specific needs. Whether they struggle with getting started, organizing ideas, or simply believing they can be a good writer, we work together to break through those barriers at their own pace.
Session Structure:
- Weekly 60-minute sessions
