  • "Sherry Luiz is an energetic, dynamic instructor with a keen insight in how kids think. With patient teaching and an easy, steady pace, she taught my scared and nervous son to love writing! Now he knows what to do and how to do it thanks to Mrs. Luiz!"

    Cathy F.

  • "After enrolling my two sons in your writing classes for the past eight years, I can honestly say it's been the best investment of our entire home school curriculum. The end result of consistent writing classes each year has prepared my first graduate for his college career and future profession. Thank you for your clear homework assignments, for challenging my natural writer and for patiently teaching my reluctant writer!"

    Lisa K.

  • "Thank you so much for the great year. I just want to share something with you. I've never been a writer or even enjoyed it. Writing has always been a chore for me. But watching Davis enjoy it so much and learning from him some of the things you've taught him has given me a new perspective on writing. I think a big part of it is the way you teach. I've never had a writing class that was fun. Your class looks like fun not work. I believe with more writing teachers like you, we would have more writers."
