Individualized Writing Courses for Homeschool Families...
"Our goal is to address the precise needs, interests, and skills of students who have chosen to learn at home."
Ten Reasons to Choose WriteGuide.com
1. Our teachers are the most qualified teachers you'll ever find.
All our teachers hold bachelors degrees and masters degrees in a field related to English, have years and years of teaching experience, and, are published writers. All of them are Christians.
2. The course meets daily.
Students enrolled in our courses work with their writing teachers every day, Monday through Friday. The course is, however, self-paced, so if a student is unable to send his work to his teacher on a certain day, that's OK!
3. The instruction is 100% individualized.
Our teachers don't use "canned" lessons. Instead, they guide students through each and every step of the paper or project. The instruction is generated by the teachers spontaneously, every day, based on the student's precise needs at that particular time.
4. Parents choose the papers.
Most writing courses provide you with a syllabus or list of assignments. Our course allows parents to tell their children's teachers what sorts of papers and assignments to teach. And we don't ask you to choose from a list of options (though we do have a list of potential projects, if you'd like to see some ideas), either. As a parent, you control the content of the course. Or, if you prefer, you can "hand over the reins" to the teacher, and let him or decide what should be taught.
5. The course takes place through regular e-mail.
We believe that the best teaching is delivered simply, and so we don't make use of any fancy downloads or software programs. If you can access your e-mail account, you can take part in our courses.
6. You can start our courses at any time.
Our courses can be scheduled to start on any day, Monday through Friday, year round. All we need is 48 hour's notice.
7. Parents are invited to communicate with their children's teacher on a daily basis.
Because we believe strongly that parents are their children's most important educators, we view our courses as a partnership between two teachers: an ultra-qualified writing teacher, and you, an ultra-qualified parent who has chosen to take command of your child's education. You have information and insights that are beyond value in terms of teaching your child, and so it's standard for parents to communicate with their children's writing teacher whenever you wish. You don't have to communicate with the teacher every day, but you definitely can!
8. You choose the length of the course.
The course comes in lengths of one, three, four, nine, and twelve months. You can sign up for as much or as little time as you need. If you enroll in a one month course to give it a try, you can always sign up for another session when the first month is complete. You can also request to stay with the same teacher.
9. Siblings can share the same course.
Although our courses were designed to provide instruction for a single student, siblings are welcome to "share" a single course. The only stipulation is that they take turns writing to their teacher. In other words, only one of them can submit a paper or a project at a time, and must wait for the teacher's reply before anyone can send a new paper.
10. Experience.
We were established in May of 1997. Since that time we've served thousands upon thousands of homeschool families. We also work with Christian schools, state charter schools, and independent-study school districts. When you choose us, you're choosing experience.
