REMINDER: I do an online advanced sentence structure tutorial every year Quarter 3 (Nov-Jan). I hold the tutorials Tuesdays 5-5:30 online on Zoom. I will post the link to the class on my blog in late October.

This is aimed at an Eng10-12 level. You are welcome to join. No reg. No sign-up. You can attend if you wish, some of the classes or all of the classes.
