5 Personalized Sessions for Students in Grades 3-8.
One Powerful Writing Transformation.
Not your average tutoring.
This exclusive academic writing experience is specifically designed for students in grades 3–8 who are ready to move from “pretty good” to powerful, organized literary writing.
Students will not only walk away with better essays - they’ll understand the writing process, gain confidence and build skills they’ll use for years to come.
Your child is the right fit for this program if they:
Have the basics down but need the next level of sophistication in essays, literary analysis, and extended responses.
Want to go beyond “getting it done” to writing with voice, structure, and impact.
Are preparing for or are in the middle of a writing-heavy year and want to feel truly equipped.
Imagine the impact if we spent as much money on improving our child’s writing skills as we do on dance, sports or music lessons.
This $2,000 investment in your child’s future includes:
Five personalized 1:1 writing sessions (60 minutes each) with instruction tailored specifically to your child.
Diagnostic writing assessment to pinpoint strengths, gaps, and opportunities and to use as a baseline to show progress at the end of our sessions.
Detailed feedback on drafts between sessions.
A curated mentor model text they can return to again and again—designed to help them apply the skills they've learned to future pieces of writing.
Graphic organizers, checklists, and planning guides they can continue to use to reinforce what we’ve learned.
15 minute parent updates after each session so you can track your child’s progress in real time.
Expertise you can trust - 30 years in education, author of 5 books on reading and writing, and a trusted consultant to schools nationwide.
Payment plan available — $1,000 at enrollment + 2 payments of $500 over 4 weeks
This is a premium experience for families who want a lasting impact—not just quick fixes.
But what will your child actually accomplish? A Lot!
Students will walk away with the ability to:
Analyze writing prompts to ensure clarity and purpose before they begin
Identify and gather relevant, high-quality evidence to support a claim or idea.
Use sentence combining and expansion to express more sophisticated thinking, and apply strategic vocabulary to elevate tone and precision.
Craft strong introduction and conclusion paragraphs with the three most critical components, and build body paragraphs using four essential sentence types.
Apply these strategies to future writing assignments with growing independence.
