Reviews
As a retired teacher, I was impressed on Dawn’s teaching style on her videos of “How to Format Word Docs Like a Pro”. As a beginning writer, I found it very easy to learn the ways of writing, thanks to Dawn.
She ran her tutorials like she was in the classroom. She would state the objective of the lesson. Then taught the objective through her easy-to-follow visuals of different types of writing. Then she would take the objective a step farther by explaining why things go wrong and the reasons for the mistakes. Dawn shows you the potholes of writing without falling into them.
Her patience along with her ability to communicate her points of instruction was never confusing or talking over my head. Her tutorials gave me confidence that I can overcome the most basic fears of writing.
I strongly recommend this class for all writers who seek out the proper way of getting their work out there.
