Can my child try a class?
Absolutely! You may sign up for a Trial Writing Class. Around 95% of those who try a class end up enrolling in our program.
Will you assess my child's current skills?
Yes. We will assess your child during his/her first class with us.
Your classes have already begun. Can my child still join?
Of course! Enrollment is always ongoing. Our lessons are structured so that it's easy for new students to join in at any point during the year.
Will my child need any materials?
Your child will need a computer or device that can run Zoom and Google Drive. They will be typing essays on Google Documents (younger students may use a pencil and binder paper).
Will my child have homework?
We expect our students to do light homework to complete the writing process and reinforce class learning. Expect around 15-20 minutes of editing and typing homework after each class.
How do you address different skill levels and ages within the same class?
Our classes are small enough to allow for personalized feedback and instruction, regardless of grade level. For advanced students, we set higher expectations and encourage more thoughtful content in their writing.
Do you help students with diagnosed learning differences?
Yes. We have helped students with dyslexia, ADD, and ADHD, and other diagnosed learning differences. If your child has an IEP, 504 plan, or list of learning accommodations, contact us first so that we may determine what's best for your child.
Will my child get individual instruction during class?
Your child will receive individual instruction within the context of a small group. In addition, we will give both verbal and written feedback on each piece of student writing.
How many classes will my child have per month?
Most months will have 4 classes per month. Though a few months will have 3 classes, some months will have 5 classes (we won't charge you extra for the months with 5). Click here to view our calendar.
What happens if my child has to miss a class?
Each student gets 1 make-up class a month. Just fill out this form at least 3 days before your child’s absence. Unfortunately, we don't offer make-ups for summer writing camps.
Do you allow schedule changes or class switches?
You may change your class schedule by filling out this form. If your desired class is available, we’ll be happy to make the change.
Is it easy to resume, pause, or cancel my monthly enrollment?
Yes! All you have to do is fill out this form before the end of the month. Requests made after the end of the month will take effect on the following month.
Do you give any refunds for unused classes?
Unfortunately, we do not give any refunds for partially used months or unused classes.
How often will I be billed?
Your credit card will be automatically charged on the first day of every month. No need to pay or renew manually.
Do kids do creative writing in your classes?
Yes, we offer an advanced creative writing class for 5th to 8th grade students.
