One rule.

Every character has to be their own original creation. Everything else? Fair game.

No grades.

Rubric shmubric. This is about discovering they have something to say.

Curiosity let loose.

There are no wrong answers. Just bold choices.

Armando, writing coach

Hi, I'm Armando.

I'm not a tutor. I'm not a therapist. Think of me as an older brother who happens to love a great story.

I've read the books your kid is reading. I've watched the shows and movies they love. When they walk in with an idea about a polar bear falling into a black hole or a dolphin spy — I don't say no. I say yes, and…

Whatever's going on inside — the silliness, the big feelings, the ideas that don't fit anywhere else — we find it. We write it down. We make it into something they're proud of.

Nice words from others.

"Armando helped our child find his voice and develop ideas into writing projects. Our son hated his fifth-grade English class and resisted every assignment. Working with Armando helped him ace middle school and gave him tools he still uses."

"I began working with Armando to learn about acting — and left with a love for writing and reading I never expected. His unique, committed teaching style opened a whole new world for me."

"Armando taught me important storytelling concepts I was able to apply in my writing. He helped me expand my imagination as I dug for more ideas — and I'm proud to say I got my novel published."
