Welcome!

My name is Ariel Velez, and I love helping students become confident writers. I have over thirteen years of experience as a licensed ELA and special education teacher. I am also an online writing tutor and a homeschool mom. In my years of teaching, I have found that all learners can benefit from explicit writing instruction. 

​

My goal is to help every student build a strong writing foundation and fall in love with writing. On this site, I offer online writing tutoring for middle school learners. I also share some of the tips and strategies I have learned over the years to help other teachers and homeschooling parents provide their students with the skills they need to become strong, confident writers.
