Write Well, Write Now Why Online
- Why is the instruction online, instead of weekly or monthly in-person classes?
Flexibility
Write Well, Write Now designed their program to provide the maximum flexibility for students and mentor teachers alike. We recognize that high school students have homework, sports commitments, music lessons, social activities, jobs, and very busy lives. But college bound high school students also need to learn to write at the college level in order to have success in their higher education! We chose the online format so that high school students could work when they wanted and how they wanted.
Six o'clock in the morning? No problem. Half a day on Saturday? No problem. One hour each day? No problem. Students work at their own pace, using their own time schedules.
No Specified Time for Classes
One of the biggest problems with teaching college level writing skills was the need for consistent, regular, supervised practice. A program that had weekly classes for 16 weeks would be prohibitively expensive. It would also mean that students and parents had to block a specific time out of their busy schedules to drive and sit in a class.
Students Work At Own Ability Level
Using the online format and individualized lessons, students aren't held back by "slower" students who have greater needs, or intimidated by students who are much higher in ability level. Each student is only assigned work that suits their particular needs. No student is "taught" something they already know. We don't waste kid's time.
