Reviews from Students

  • “You make me better at writing essays and also being CREATIVE.”

  • “Your teaching style is much more effective and it helped me understand the material in a better way. The communication between us created a strong bond and a positive learning environment.”

  • “The learning portion is my favorite part, since you thoroughly teach the lessons and the rules.”

  • “The lessons and activities we do are really interactive and the lessons prepare me to be successful on my own.” 

  • “I think you’ve helped me a lot with how I write descriptively and helped me understand the grammar errors I had and how to fix them.”

  • “Your resources for better vocabulary and the practices we have done benefitted me a lot. Once I started to use them in my writing, I started to see a difference between my boring essays then and my engaging essays now.”

  • “In my opinion, the many benefits are learning new topics in a fun way while learning some life skills at the same time. The teaching style also keeps me very organized while learning great things.”

  • “The activities where you teach, give an example, then me trying them on my own really helps me learn and get to hang of it (like the grammar activities).”

  • “I feel that my writing has improved tremendously and I have picked up multiple strategies that I use in all my writing.”

  • “There are many fun activities that help me think better when I write. Some include persuasive essays which let me think about proving a point in ways I never thought of before.”

  • “It has made my writing have more depth and clarity and I feel that I have more confidence about what I am writing. As a student with bad grammar, I feel that I can write with less concerns of an incoherent and bad essay. From this, I want to say overall that I have improved as a writer.”

  • “When I first started, my vocabulary was limited and my writing was bland. With your help I was able to expand my knowledge and use better words that keep the readers engaged.”

  • “This experience has led me to pursue a more in-depth understanding of all kinds of subjects. Having the chance to delve into things I enjoy has given me a larger appreciation for knowledge in general.”

This is more than just another writing assignment. It’s a chance for your teen to get individual guidance, elevate their skills, and prepare for the academic and professional challenges ahead. From personal essays to thought-provoking articles, their writing will be seen by a broader audience, positioning them for future success in college applications and beyond.
