Volunteering is easy and saves money! See details here.

The Writing Workshop helps students acquire and improve skills to prepare them to write on the high school and college level.

The secret ingredient of these workshops is, believe it or not, group work. This typically useless activity ​is transformed by fashioning Writing Workshop groups which are positive, purposeful, and produce a subtle but powerful impact by providing a real audience for students’ work, as opposed to being read by only a teacher or parent. I’ve seen it produce amazing results over the years.
The class also includes teacher conferences and lectures on writing style and techniques, including grammar. Students will be given specific assignments in which they will apply the writing process to such genres as personal narrative, expository and fiction. The instruction and evaluation will be adapted to each student’s skill level.

Homework: 1-2 hours per week.

Tuition: $120/$87.60 for volunteers
