Hey college-bound students! 🎓 I was speaking with a group of college students and this is what one collegiate learner said, "The only assignments we have are essays and exams. I've written 40 essays in 2 years!" Does that stress you out? Don't let it! Are you worried about writing college essays and papers? Don't be! We will get you ready and will teach you the skills needed to succeed. With practice, you can improve your writing skills and get the grades you want. 💯 In this course, we review the essential writing skills you need to excel in college. In our live sessions, you connect with your instructor and classmates, ask questions, and get the support you need to succeed. Our explicit teaching methods take the mystery out of how to write well, and you'll receive personalized feedback on homework to help you grow as a writer. Since this is a review class to prep for college, if we think you would benefit from one of our in-depth essay-writing or grammar classes, we will let you know! We will figure you out and what you need to succeed! Let's be real, nobody has ever said to us, "I LOVE writing essays." 😳 We know. But, if you get good at it, if you get fast at it, you buy back leisure time with your newfound buddies on campus. Are you ready?
