From Cathy Duffy Reviews:
"College-Ready Writing Essentials offers homeschoolers who are unable to participate in a college-prep level writing class, the opportunity to receive excellent instruction... I highly recommend the premium package."
"[College-Ready Writing Essentials] goes beyond the mechanics to help students understand such things as the expectations for college-level writing, the importance of critical thinking, how to express their own ideas based on information and research, how to present arguments, the importance of taking into consideration what a course instructor will be looking for, and how to work with peers."
Here's What Homeschool Families Are Saying!
"The unique beauty of the BetterRhetor course is in its approach. There are no assignments like, 'Write a 1,000 word persuasive essay on (insert boring subject student doesn't care about here).' ...I highly and wholeheartedly recommend BetterRhetor for high school writing. You will find it easy to follow, enjoyable for the student, and helpful in understanding the quality and expectation necessary for college writing success."
— SHANNAN SWINDLER, Captivating Compass
"There are so many amazing resources within this very thorough course. For any student (or adult) who is looking to strengthen their skills in writing and research, this is definitely a wonderful resource...College-Ready Writing Essentials doesn't just teach writing but also an understanding of how each part of an essay works...We aren't just tossing words and phrases around. It's so much deeper than that."
— JENNIFER KING, A Peace of Mind
"I cannot stress enough how helpful Dr. Bryant's personal feedback was for A. If you are like me, it can be hard to help guide and teach your child/student through the complete process of writing and give feedback. Having Dr. Bryant's feedback really completed the program for me as it gave A. ideas and suggestions for improving her personal writing. This was so valuable!"
— KATHRYN CUMMINS, Cummins Life
"I truly do believe this course is worth every penny."
— NICOLE COLE, Some Call It Natural
