In this one-on-one course, your student will learn college-level writing skills in three ways:

1. I will provide feedback on your student's current essays.
2. I will teach your student about the essay writing process (more details below).
3. I will teach your student about specific steps in the writing process based on student or parent requests.

Class Structure:

1. If your student sends an essay prompt or an essay draft at least one day before class, I will review it offline and then provide feedback in the classroom session.
2. After providing feedback, I will proceed with a lesson on the writing process.

1. Clarify the assignment.
2. Use research tools to identify sources.
3. Analyze sources.
4. Develop a thesis.
5. Create an outline.
6. Write a first draft.
7. Revise the draft.
