USMy soon to be 5th grader just finished… My soon to be 5th grader just finished his second Time4writing course. I am so impressed with the program and the way, otherwise daunting assignments, are broken down into EASY steps. Our most recent course was Paragraph Writing. Descriptive and Narrative paragraphs come together with ease because of the simple breakdowns provided. Like all of us, we have been homeschooling through the pandemic. We have worked on writing using a variety of techniques, one of which being the writing "web" or brainstorming. The Time4Writing technique is more formulaic and very effective. Our summer plans changed a couple of times but we did not have a problem completing the course in the allotted time, so I did not find the program inflexible at all. In fact, we worked ahead a little because we were going camping and we were unsure about Wi-Fi availability. We just printed out the assignment ahead of time and worked in our notebook and then we transcribed the work when we got Wi-Fi access. The staff was so responsive and easy to work with. Thanks Time 4 Writing! I can't recommend Time4Writing enough.

USI would not suggest this course The problem is the marketing of this company encourages you to pay extra to extend the course by having your child lag behind. There is a free 7 day extension offered, but it will not be enough to finish. Although the writing process is good, the 8 week schedule puts pressure on the student to make them think they are behind. Keep in mind, regardless of the learning level, the child is not allowed to progress without receiving feedback from the teacher. With just a few days to completion, they won't be able to finish. Student course completion brings satisfaction, praise and encouragement. Unless you make a big complaint, you will pay quite a bit for a course the child never completed.

USMy daughter enjoyed this course very… My daughter enjoyed this course very much. It was challenging and fun and it really helped expand on and improve my daughter's writing skills. I could see a clear difference between her ability to write a clear and informative paragraph from when she began to when she completed the course. We will be continuing with this program.

USMiddle School Mechanics Mrs. LaChance was very helpful in helping my son learn writing mechanics. She was thorough and responded quickly, at times, responding earlier than expected so that my son was able to see the results and work on editing his work with time to move forward. It was a great experience and I look forward to the next class.

USMy daughter Ashley My daughter Ashley, enjoyed this writing program. She is a Special Ed student, 8th grade. The course was used to fill the requirements for the state of Maryland Homeschool, Language Arts writing requirements. Ms. Nicole, was her teacher. I appreciated that when she reviewed my daughters assignments for error, she also praised her on how well she was doing. Ms. Nicole, responded to the classwork or my emails within 24 hours, this was really a plus. I look forward to having her take one of the paragraph writing courses during the summer, to help her be ready for the fall 2021/2022 school year. Victoria Gibbs
