College
Writing
Whether your child
is still in high school, is preparing for college, or is already in college, our
Write Well, Write Now scholarly writing course teaches college writing in a way
that is understandable and easy to grasp. Our students make rapid progress in just a few short weeks because we've
designed each week of instruction to be the most efficient for rapid writing
ability gains. All of our programs are
flexible and convenient and fit
well into the busy schedules of our youth.

Top Notch Students
|
| |
We teach many AP English high school students in our 8-week scholarly writing
course. Why? Because these outstanding students benefit
from one-on-one tutoring to help them hone their skills to the highest possible
levels. They also enjoy learning from their own, private Personal
Start Page. Because our program has the capacity to begin at exactly the level
of the student's needs, we "skip the dumb stuff" and jump right to the areas
where we can help a student sharpen their skills and master advanced writing
techniques.
Besides, even the best AP English teachers simply don't have the time to teach
how to fully reference and use correctly formatted
APA (or MLA) citations.

"Average" students
|
| |
Some of our favorite students are "C" students because after they leave our
course, they become "A" students, and that feels really, really good for all of
us.
We get plenty of thank you letters from grateful high school and college
students, thanking us for helping them gain the skills they need to learn
college writing. Our Mentor Teachers are gratified when they can
help a "C" student turn into an "A" student in just a few weeks.

English Language Learners
|
| |
Our most popular program for English Language Learners is our 6 month tutoring
program ($1299). We offer extended online coaching because we
recognize that English Language Learners need more than 2 months of tutoring to
master complex English writing skills!
As a faith-based corporation, we won't lie to you: It takes time
and diligent practice to become skilled in English. Our program is
not a "quick fix". Instead, it is good, solid instruction and plenty
of practice, critique, and revision time.
Our program is designed to straighten out difficulties and misconceptions in
word usage, punctuation, sentence construction, and the logic and flow of
ideas.

Students with Disabilities
|
| |
Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing: We've got
lessons designed at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th grade readability levels –
lessons with colorful pictures to link visual connections to the world of
writing. Each lesson for our deaf and hard-of-hearing population is
designed to teach a tiny slice of writing knowledge so that we do not overwhelm
our students with too much confusing information. Instead, they are
sequential and build rapidly so that our students learn comfortably and
quickly.
ADD; ADHD – Because we have an online
environment and many ADD and ADHD students are comfortable with computer usage,
our program is excellent in the teaching of writing. It "weeds out"
distracting sounds and instead focuses the brain on the visual aspect of
learning, with a bit of kinesthetic (typing) tossed in.
"Slow" Learners: Some students are
labeled "slow" learners because they need more chances at repetition in order
to achieve mastery. Our Write Well, Write Now program is outstanding
because our mentor teachers are patient and understanding and
experienced. While still expecting high standards and excellent
participation, our learners get to learn at their own pace. If they
need extra time to practice concepts before moving forward, we are pleased to
help.
Students learn as rapidly as they can learn – in other words, if they master a
concept quickly, we don't bore them or waste their time by dwelling on the
concept over and over again (this is one of the problems with special education
classes… students are artificially held down by the teachers who don't move
them rapidly through a concept when they've already demonstrated they have
mastered it).
