Writing Intensives - Students Who Struggle with the Written Word
Some students have a very difficutl time getting thoughts to paper inside the classroom. They have a limited reportoire of sophisticated vocabulary and do not link ideas together easily. When asked to respond to a prompt, it almost stupifies them and a student feels stuck and unsuccessful. We have been working and training students to put their ideas together easier since 1991. The difference between then and now is technology. Our training is unique, fun, engaging and outcome based. Choose from 3 different grade skill levels in a 1-1 setting. Materials are included in the tuition. Sometimes students need more training. We adjust according to the needs of the student.
