We've Improved the Traditional Tutoring Model
Practical, Results-focused Curriculum
At The Academic Writing Studio, we specialize in improving students' academic writing skills. Writing is the foundation for academic success, and by concentrating exclusively on this area, we empower students to achieve better grades across all subjects while developing essential skills for future careers.
​
Unlike traditional English tutoring programs that divide their focus across multiple language skills, The Academic Writing Studio zeroes in on writing, one of the most crucial skills for academic success. Our focused approach ensures faster, more targeted improvements, helping students see lasting results that traditional programs often miss.
Expertly Designed Lessons
Our instructional materials are crafted by professional instructors with years of writing experience. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s needs, ensuring a personalized learning experience that improves writing skills and academic performance.
Flexible Learning
Our program is asynchronous and conducted through Google Classroom, allowing students to work on their own schedule. Written corrections and video explanations are provided within 24 hours of homework submission. This flexibility makes it easier for students to fit high-quality instruction into their busy lives, without the pressure of scheduled live meetings.
How it works
1
Free Assessment
Start off with a 30-minute meeting in which we'll get to know what you're looking for, and you'll get to know us. During this time, the student will take the writing assessment. The assessment is used to identify areas we need to focus on, and aid in designing an individualized lesson plan. On average, the assessment takes 30 minutes to complete. Don't worry, you got this!

Customized Learning Plan
Great job completing the assessment! You'll receive an introduction to the learning plan and an overall summary of the evaluation within 24 hours. The learning plan will highlight the areas we will address first and provide a road map of your goals and how we're going to achieve them. All you have to do is get ready for your in-person lesson by picking an available time slot from the calendar link you will receive via email.

First Free Lesson
Let's kick off our first lesson! This is our only in-person lesson, designed to get to know your instructor personally and ask any questions you might have. We will walk you through the tools, the process, and the expectations of our program. Finally, we'll dive into the first assignment. We want you to feel comfortable, and we're there to help you each step of the way.

Your First Week
Once you've met your instructor and have your first writing assignment, it's time to get to work! Make sure to turn your homework in by your scheduled turn-in date. You'll receive written feedback and corrections along with a 5-minute explanatory video walking you through the main areas of improvement with strategies to address them in the next assignment.

Next Steps
That concludes the first free week trial. We will send you a link for payment, which should be finalized before the next turn-in date.
​
We will conduct ongoing evaluations. We will meet once a month for the first three months and then every three months after that. These evaluations are your chance to update your goals, see your progress, and make adjustments to your learning plan.
