We use an online tutor who is absolutely wonderful. Bonnie is a PhD student in literature. She offers tutoring in both writing and literature. She does not charge much (we paid $10 a week) and she gives wonderful constructive feedback. I love the fact that Bonnie designs a plan around YOUR student and YOUR goals, not having your student fit a certain schedule or curriculum. Bonnie is flexible to your schedule. If we have something else scheduled that week (visitors, vacation or whatever), I just let Bonnie know ahead of time. My daughter did 2 years of Institute for Excellence in Writing and it is a wonderful program, but she still lacked confidence in writing. Writing became a struggle. She knew the mechanics of writing, but not what to write from her own thoughts. With Bonnie, my daughters confidence in her ability has just soared. We have worked with Bonnie for a year in essay writing, and this year we will start the literature program and some SAT essay practice. I highly recommend Bonnie for anyone interested in equipping their child with the skills for writing and/or interested in a literature program. Bonnie's website is down at the moment, but her email is dbf51702@gmail.com
