A student's Blog Post

Hi, today I’m going to teach you how to draw a manga comic book.
Manga is just basically a japanese graphic novel.
It’s just like a normal comic book except it’s all black&white and you need to read in backwards (left to right). Most mangas are based on anime.
What you need to do first is make a cover.
You can draw a picture that will draw people’s attention (not in a weird way).
Like this.

Then you need to make a page that shows characters.
Like this.

Then you need to draw a picture and draw some sound effects.
You need to make speech bubbles. But you don’t need to color it.

These tips will help to make a great manga comic book. Please show me your work. I would love to see it.

Personally, my favorite manga is called Fairy Tail. It’s based on wizards.
The reason why I like this manga is because it’s based on anime, so we can watch it on TV. And because the background is Medieval times.
THe main character of the story is called Natsu.
Natsu is a dragon slayer, but tha’ts not because he slays dragons.
He was raised my a fire dragon, and his magics are strong as a dragon.

February 2016 Newsletter

2/5/2016

Dear Clients and Family
We have been working hard at Niagara Learning Academy to implement our new programs this past month. We hope you are taking advantage of the new programs we are offering.
This month we will celebrate Valentine’s Day and Family Day. Niagara Learning Academy will be open for Family Day. Therefore, if you are wanting to cancel your sessions for that day, please make sure to let us know ahead of time.

Our FREE English program has been doing well for its first weeks. We have been working on reading, summarizing main ideas and comprehension skills. For February, our focus will be on writing. Please remember, if you have a child (or a friend’s child) who does not take private tutoring lessons, they can still attend the class for $3.00. You can text/call us to reserve their spot. 905-229-8123

Cancellation Policies
There has been some questions concerning our cancellation policies, so we have outlined them below. When cancelling a session, in order to avoid any charge, it must be cancelled ONE WEEK before the session is schedule. As Niagara Learning Academy works with a number of tutors and clients, this gives us time to properly cancel the tutors and make any necessary changes to the schedule. If a session is cancelled within a week BUT with more than 24hours notice, a $10.00 cancellation charge is applied to your account. If a session is cancelled within the 24 hours of the scheduled tutoring time, a $20.00 cancellation fee is applied.

We are currently in the winter season and the roads sometimes are hazardous for driving. Therefore, if school has been cancelled and you are not wanting to drive for your tutoring sessions the same day, they can be cancelled at no charge. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
