One-on-One Writing Programs
Our one-on-one writing and critical thinking program is designed for students ages 10-17 who want to develop the skills that school rarely teaches and that last a lifetime. Every program is personalized, rigorous, and built around a single conviction: that to write well is to think well.
Program Structure
Each student follows a structured, individualized program designed to strengthen both writing and thinking over time.
Diagnostic & Starting Point
Students begin with a short diagnostic to assess how they structure ideas, use language, and approach writing.
Weekly One-on-One Sessions
Each week, students work closely with their instructor to develop arguments, refine their thinking, and practice writing with clarity and control.
Writing Between Sessions
Students complete focused writing assignments designed to reinforce key skills and build consistency over time.
Feedback & Revision
All work receives detailed written and verbal feedback, guiding students through revision and helping them strengthen both ideas and expression.
What Students Learn
The goal is not simply better writing, but better thinking. These are not short-term improvements, but lasting shifts in how students develop, structure, and express ideas.
Think Clearly and Indepentedly
Students learn to organize their thoughts, question assumptions, and develop their own ideas with clarity.
Move Beyond Formulaic Writing
Students learn to think critically and engage with ideas in a deeper, more original way.
Write Structured, Well-Reasoned Arguments
Students learn to build arguments step by step, support claims with evidence, and communicate ideas logically on the page.
Approach Complex Texts With Confidence
Students become more capable readers, able to analyze, interpret, and respond to challenging material.
Express Ideas with Precision and Control
Students develop a strong command of language, allowing them to write with clarity, nuance, and confidence.
Develop Lasting Intellectual Habits
Over time, students build the habits of mind that support strong thinking, writing, and learning across disciplines.
