Tutorial Writing Courses

WriteAtHome’s online tutorial writing courses have helped thousands of students develop strong writing skills since 2001. These courses combine online tutoring with a structured writing curriculum. Students access a lesson and a writing assignment each week during a course, and every submitted paper is thoroughly reviewed and corrected by the student’s personal writing coach.

Our outstanding writing coaches are experienced writers, teachers, and editors who love working with young people. They provide thorough, encouraging, and helpful feedback as they work with students through the writing process.

These courses are distinctively tutorial in approach. There is no passing or failing a WriteAtHome course. Our coaches will work with your students one-on-one, addressing their individual areas of weakness. They are fully prepared to work with students of all abilities, from struggling, reluctant writers to motivated future Pulitzer Prize-winners. Our single goal is to help each student grow in his or her unique gifts. There is no pressure to meet vague expectations or achieve some arbitrary standard. Our warm, personal approach is a key to our consistent success with developing writers.

We offer comprehensive semester-long and annual writing courses for students in grades six through twelve, and special nine-week long “workshops” dedicated to particular types of writing projects, including essays, research papers, and short stories.

What makes WriteAtHome
an effective educational program?

* Personal, professional writing coaches.  Every student receives careful, individual attention from one of our outstanding writing coaches. Every paper submitted to WriteAtHome is returned with positive and constructive feedback, so that every writing experience is a learning experience. Our writing coaches are all experienced teachers, writers and editors eager to share their expertise and love for the written word.

* A common sense approach.  We believe what athletes and musicians have always understood--that practice makes perfect--but not practice in isolation. Growth in any craft comes with practice under the instruction of experts who encourage our successes and correct our mistakes. At WriteAtHome, students complete a writing assignment every week and receive detailed feedback from their personal writing coach. 

* Concern for the writing process. Final results matter, but we believe that effectively teaching writing means focusing on the process. Every WriteAtHome assignment is written and submitted in stages. Our writing coaches come alongside students through the process, directing, suggesting, encouraging and critiquing. The result is not only a quality final draft, but steadily growing skill in the process of writing. 

* Creative, varied assignments.  We understand that writing can be either a joy or a chore, and nothing takes the fun out of writing like dull assignments. Weekly writing assignments from WriteAtHome are designed not only to challenge, but also to motivate students by spanning the spectrum of purposes and forms and engaging the individuality and creativity of each student writer.

* Practical, easy-to-read lessons.  Along with their assignments, students receive weekly lessons that focus on one element of effective writing at a time. As the course unfolds, these carefully sequenced lessons coordinate with assignments to lay the foundation for sound writing skills.
