Second Language Learners

Each of our Write Well, Write Now mentor teachers have worked with multiple second language learners for many years in the past.  We hire only veteran teachers who have proven themselves effective time and time again in the classroom and in our program.

We Understand
  Alisa Griffis, the founder of Write Well, Write Now, has worked with English Language Learners for over 25 years.   She designed hundreds of individual lessons specifically to meet the needs of our nation's English Language Learner population.
 
Subject/Verb Agreement
  The English language is complex and filled with irregular verbs and odd rules for subject/verb agreement.   Our mentor teachers are masters at explaining the rules simply and clearly.

We also understand number agreement, verb tenses, definite and indefinite articles, sentence structure, colloquial phrases, and many other English language stumbling blocks.
 
We Recommend…
  We recommend two 10 – week programs to begin second language instruction.   It's nice to have some time in between for concepts to sink in and begin to be learned to mastery.   Our ideal spacing is 10 weeks in the Fall semester and another 10 weeks in the Spring semester.

We also offer 3 and 4 week "intercession" courses and our traditional 8 week long tutoring course.
 
10 Student Minimum
  As with any of our school district contracts, in order to qualify for our reduced school-district rates, we require 10 students to start at the same time.
