IEW & Lost Tools of Writing Classes | Private + Group | Online (CST)
Welcome to LittleQuills Tutoring
Every student learns differently—so I design each class to match your child’s pace, learning style, and goals. I offer individualized IEW Writing, Grammar, and Lost Tools of Writing classes for students in Grades 3–12.
Each week, I work directly with your child—step by step—through the complete IEW or Lost Tools of Writing curriculum. My goal is to help each student build a strong foundation in writing and grammar using proven methods in a supportive, structured, and confidence-building environment tailored to their needs.

Lost Tools of Writing + Literature of Choice
Pull a small group together, follow the Lost Tools of Writing curriculum, and explore literature of your choice. Students learn rhetoric, organize ideas clearly, and communicate persuasively — all while enjoying great books.
