Many high school students, by the time they reach senior year, do not have a strong writing foundation, even the most dedicated, motivated students. Then they need to write outstanding essays for college applications and they feel lost. Their feelings are well founded. Let me help.
Hi, I’m Amy Haskell, creator and founder of Total Writing Enrichment. You want to know how to teach your teen to write well and you’ve come to the right place!
My team of writing experts and I empower students to believe in their unique writing ability by mastering skills and growing confidence so they get “A” grades and gain acceptance to college.
We have taught over thousands of students- and believe that every student has a beautiful story and can win acceptance to a dream college or graduate school.
By receiving skills-based coaching – our students’ essays always leave a positive impression with their college of choice and with their English teacher!
We can help any motivated student learn writing skills, improve grades in high school and college and get into their dream college or graduate school. These skills lead to learning the most essential ingredients of college admission essays and success in collegiate writing. That’s what we do every day at Total Writing Enrichment. The result? College admission essays and high school English papers your child is proud to call their own—and creative, organized writing that gets your teen into college.
Your student will receive exceptional guidance every step of the way to brainstorm essay topics, organize the writing process, hone technical skills, and write winning essays—often ahead of deadlines.
Nothing brings us more joy than the success of our students both in the high school classroom and with their college acceptances. Take a look at some of our favorite kind words from students and their families that have studied their way to a YES! with Total Writing Enrichment.
