We provide writing support to high-achieving high school students with the goal of helping them become even more successful writers in school and beyond. Our work involves helping students break down the writing process into manageable parts and provide them with the opportunity to practice specific skills in a supportive environment. Our assistance is tailored to the needs and learning style of each student. We also offer writing support on college and secondary school application essays. At present, tutoring sessions take place online.
