This class focuses on helping students confidently answer essay prompts without sounding robotic. These prompts are used to evaluate a student's writing skills and ability to fully answer a question in written form. It is a specialized form of writing found on standardized tests, college applications, high school classes, and college exams. Students are expected to read a prompt and understand what the question is asking, then create an essay to answer it. This class teaches your student how to do this successfully. With a focus on organization and rich development, attention will be given to all parts of an essay, including building a compelling introduction. We will walk through the writing process from brainstorming to outlining to writing, with a focus on strong thesis statements and an engaged writing voice. These skills might be used for writing assignments for another subject, prompts appearing on standardized tests, or pieces needed for extracurricular activities. The class is self-paced with at least one assignment per week. The teacher provides a video, written lesson material, interactive assignments, and personalized weekly feedback on every activity. Essay feedback is detailed with an overview of how the student did on their organization, development, thesis statement, use of voice, and grammar. At Write from the Heart, your voice comes first. We are all better writers when we have something to say. We teach how structure, organization, and grammar help us effectively communicate who we are and what we believe through the written word. It’s not about learning the rules. It’s about discovering how we can use the tools of writing to most clearly express ourselves. Our feedback is encouraging with suggestions for growth framed to help build the student's skills and self-confidence.

At Write from the Heart, our goal is to help students find their voices and grow in writing and critical thinking skills. Above all, we believe that education is a personal journey of discovery. It is shaped by the personality of the child, the beliefs and values of the child’s family, and the experiences that the child encounters. It should never be undervalued. We desire to come alongside parents in helping each child through that personal journey.
