writing instruction

In school, most students dread writing assignments and fear the wrath of their teacher’s brutal “red pen.” But at Red Pen Consulting, we can help you improve your writing in a constructive and (relatively) painless way.

Although many people think writing is a “gift,” it’s really just a skill like anything else. It can be learned and improved, and the best way to improve that skill is to get feedback from an expert. Unfortunately, most writing teachers today don’t have time to give thoughtful, detailed comments on every student assignment. That’s where Red Pen Consulting can help!

If your child needs extra help on his English assignments, or if you’d like to learn how to improve your own writing, contact us. We can quickly provide feedback on any document via e-mail. This is an easy way to improve your grade....while you also learn how to improve your writing.

If you like, we can also schedule meetings with an experienced writing tutor to reinforce basic writing principles and grammar topics in more depth. We have over 10 years of experience teaching college-level English and Composition and can help address your specific problem areas.
