Writing is dying in schools, and most writing courses don’t even require that much actual writing. When students do write, they don’t write full essays. If outsourcing isn’t working, it might be time to bring things in house. You can do this. Whether you run your own homeschool or just want to supplement your child’s education, you can become your teen’s best writing coach.

“But my teen hates it when I critique his/her writing!” Maybe that’s because you were never on the same page. Now, your feedback might be welcome, even appreciated! Best of all, this bundle will facilitate conversations about Great Books and Big Ideas. The dinner table will never be the same.
“My older two took the class [Ancient Greek Literature] with Ms. Finnigan when she was teaching at Kolbe Academy. They still say she was their best teacher and their most demanding teacher. After Ms. Finnigan left Kolbe, we didn't know where to find her!…Once I heard about [her new, independent class], I couldn't register my youngest son fast enough. Ms. Finnigan is wonderful in many ways. She is tough and demands excellence. This is important for character formation as well as forever formation. We appreciate the high bar…If there is a teacher out there that can pull the maximum out of a B student, it is Ms. Finnigan…she will challenge them and make them better. As for ‘accredited,’ I have not run into that issue at all. My oldest just graduated from law school. My number 2 is a Sister. It is more important that the student knows how to write, than if a class is/was accredited. I cannot recommend Ms. Finnigan enough. 5 stars.”

“Ms. Finnigan’s [writing instruction] has become a staple in our home. As a homeschool mom of 4 children, I’ve utilized many different highly recommended curricula with the goal of teaching my kids to write well. However, when their writing skills became limited by my own knowledge and skill level, I decided it was time to seek outside help. This was around the time my kids became interested in dual enrollment at our local community college…My oldest child had recently taken the college entrance test and failed the essay portion…My daughter completed Ms. Finnigan’s course in two weeks, took the college entrance test again, and passed with extra points to spare! A couple years later, when my second child expressed interest in dual enrollment, we didn’t mess around. We immediately signed him up…and he too passed with points to spare!”
