Testimonials
“Lorrie Tom is an extremely creative and talented writing instructor who is able to motivate all writers to come out of their shells and express themselves in the most wonderful ways beyond one’s imagination. Lorrie has a true gift for writing and we are lucky she is sharing it with us.”
“You provide us as parents with an invaluable chance to bond with our children on a very intimate level. The classes I have share with my sons have opened up new pathways in our father/son relationships. On the way home last night I asked my son if he liked the classes and he replied with a little smile, “Dad, I never knew that writing could be for more than just school.” He likes writing so much more now thanks to you.”
“I don’t particularly enjoy writing, but you made it accessible and I love how positive the experience was, especially for the kids. My third grader hated the first class because writing is hard for him, but I made him at least attend the second class, and he enjoyed it. There was no resistance, only excitement to share his writing.
I feel like I’ve been equipped with tools to better help my kids with their writing for years to come. Thank you.”
“I am forever grateful for Lorrie’s guidance. She offers simple and inspiring materials that lead to complex creating for all ages. She is a teacher’s teacher and a writer’s writer. Her experience, humor and easy going style matched with clear goals and a great use of time, left me feeling tapped into my inner voice and offered a deep sense of accomplishment.”
“Lorrie has that special gift of making your experience with her not only fun and enriching, but eye-opening. She plants seeds in you, and you might be forever changed. Lorrie makes everyone feel as if they’re her best friend, Mom, and cheerleader rolled into one. From the very first class.
In that safe zone, where all her students feel this way, how can we not open up and blossom to be a little bit more of who we are supposed to be? I highly encourage anyone who would like to partake in a little writing, to join Lorrie’s class - whether you’re 5 or 105, her writing prompts will make the experience effortless and fun.”
“Lorrie somehow waves her magic writing wand and empowers each and every one of her students. Not only do her students grow remarkably as writers, but they can’t wait to write! That in and of itself is a remarkable feat!”
“Your writing class was seriously a huge moment of self discovery for my young self and I would do anything to help other kiddos experience the same greatness.”
“For our family- could not have been better! It had the unexpected blessing of bringing our family closer. If you offered another workshop during the year, we would be there with bells on!”
“I just loved the time I got to spend with my daughter - hearing what she wrote and sharing this experience was truly special! You are an amazing teacher and I feel so grateful that we had this experience. Thank you for all the love you pour into your work - it shows!!”
“Her Family of Writers workshops create a wonderful environment for parents and children to share experiences and stories with each other while learning how to apply effective writing techniques. Lorrie is energetic and shares her passion for teaching others to tell their own personal story through writing.”
