“My daughter had the privilege of being taught by Ms Thavenot. Her techniques allowed her to willingly embrace new and old concepts. Covid granted me the opportunity to “attend” classes (both in school and lessons) with my daughter and I must say they were all quite enjoyable. Ms. Thavenot’s teaching style and demeanor allowed my daughter to not only understand but feel comfortable to approach her with any questions. Ms. Thavenot’s love for Creative Writing was clearly expressed and I am beyond grateful for the drastic improvement and entirely new light my daughter now has toward this subject. Thank You, Ms Thavenot. ”
“SEA , online, was definitely a trying time for my son. I saw his grades in Creative Writing decrease drastically in the second term leading up to SEA. This was something he was not used to. His confidence was low. Ms.Thavenot has always been one of his favourite teachers and I think she understood him . 1 month before SEA, I made the decision to touch base with her and I saw that fire again. Not only did she pick up right away on what he needed to work on but she encouraged, motivated him and saw him through to finish line … can’t thank her enough🙏”
“My daughter, Madisyn, greatly enjoyed learning Creative Writing with her teacher, Ms Thavenot. Madisyn found a new love for writing that was sparked by Ms. Thavenot's teachings. Because of Ms. Thavenot's outstanding care for each student, Madisyn is inspired to be a writer or Creative Writing teacher. Ms. Thavenot has an amazing connection with her students and all the hard work she executed with Madisyn shows that she really looks out for her students. I greatly appreciate what Ms Thavenot has done for my child, Madisyn. ”
“My daughter, Melanie, literally transformed her writing style under Miss Thavenot’s tutelage ! When she began SEA 4, I had to help her construct almost each paragraph regarding grammar and flow of story ! By term two, when she would read her stories to me, I could hardly ever find fault or anything to improve . Her use of language and how she set the scene for her stories just wowed me ! I even once told her she could write far better than her much older siblings 😅! Also , the vast improvement in her writing happened so quickly , it was a huge relief ( given all this took place online ) as this is one of the more difficult components of the SEA exam to master! When SEA 4 came to an end I even asked Miss Thavenot to please consider her if she began any extra classes for SEA. 5 students! Her teaching style for all forms of Writing is truly unique!”
“My twins entered SEA 4 with a pre-existing hesitancy towards Creative Writing. Being mathematically oriented, Writing was not a subject which comes naturally to either. Ms. Thavenot, however, systematically changed the way they think about the Creative Writing process and opened their minds to the idea that Writing is a fun way to express your ideas and feelings. “Make sure you don’t make me fall asleep,” and “ Keep the reader’s attention,” were phrases which stuck with the girls. Ms. Thavenot’s methodical approach and step by step details resonated, giving them the necessary tools to attack the varying topics. Her detailed descriptions and samples provide the foundations which the children can easily manipulate and thus build a great amount of self- confidence. We are all truly grateful to be entering SEA 5 on a positive note and sincerely grateful to Ms. Thavenot for her dedication and love. ”
“Ms Thavenot is truly an amazing teacher. She taught my daughter Creative Writing. Miss Thavenot’s discipline, dedication, commitment, knowledge, love for her students and teaching truly puts her in a league of her own when it comes to teaching and enriching her students. Miss Thavenot had a style and eloquence in Creative Writing which could transcend any reader directly into the script she wrote or verbal description she gave. Her technical details and skills were thorough and accurate. Miss Thavenot was extremely organized and thorough and this made online learning easier and more manageable for kids and parents. Miss Thavenot’s spark and bubbly personality kept the kids smiling and happy. I’m truly grateful that my daughter had Miss Thavenot as a teacher.”
“Ms Thavenot was amazing with the kids this past year. My son went from writing ok stories to shocking me. She makes it interesting and enjoyable for them which is exactly what Kai needed. Kai was writing stories on his own for fun and bringing it for us to read as he was proud of his work. She connects with the kids and they all love her.”
“Ms. Thavenot has the ability to engage and unlock the imagination of my Son, who before entering SEA4 had Creative Writing ranked last in both performance and preference. She was able to make it interesting, convince them to appreciate the structure and be brave enough to use their imagination. To achieve this in a virtual setting is remarkable. Thank you, Ms Thavenot.”
“Ms.Thavenot made children eager to write stories. No easy feat. She literally took them from writing basic stories into writing to that next level, teaching about setting, character development, and story progression . My daughter’s writing greatly improved and she in turn was happy to write and share her stories. It’s one thing to teach, it’s another entirely to pass that enthusiasm across to your pupils and instill in them the joy of writing.”
“Ms.Thavenot was my daughter’s Creative Writing Teacher in SEA4, as well as her online extra lessons teacher. She is a well organized and dedicated teacher who made learning fun for my child. My daughter’s skills in Creative Writing were transformed to a higher level with Ms Thavenot’s assistance. I would definitely recommend that students take her online course. ”
