High school is a pivotal time for developing strong writing skills, but many students struggle to find their voice or express their ideas effectively. Working one-on-one with a writing coach allows for personalized instruction to address weaknesses, discover strengths, and help a student become a more proficient writer.
What are the benefits of having a writing coach?
Developing Critical Thinking: Writing is not just about putting words on paper; it's also about presenting arguments persuasively. As a writing coach, Mimi supports students in developing critical thinking skills, analyzing prompts, brainstorming ideas, and constructing logical arguments using textual evidence.
Building Confidence: Many students lack confidence in their writing abilities, hindering their academic performance and overall self-esteem. Mimi utilizes coaching sessions to help students discover self-confidence that extends far beyond expressing their ideas on paper.
Individualized Attention: No two students are the same. In a one-on-one setting, Mimi identifies the ways a student best learns and develops tactics that prepare them for success.
Preparing for College Applications: Strong writing skills are essential for success in college, especially when it comes to writing admissions essays and personal statements. Mimi's background in storytelling allows her to assist
students in crafting compelling essays that showcase their unique qualities and experiences.
Time Management and Organization: Assignments can be overwhelming, especially when students have multiple deadlines to juggle. Mimi goes beyond focusing on textual analysis to help students break down assignments into manageable tasks and create a plan for completing them on time. These time management and organization skills can be applied to all aspects of a student’s life, empowering them to feel capable of taking on stressful challenges.
Providing Feedback and Revision Support: Writing is a process, and revision is a crucial part of that process. Mimi's coaching practice provides constructive feedback on drafts, guiding students in revising their work to improve clarity, coherence, and overall quality.
As a writing coach, Mimi aims to help students not only improve their writing skills but also become more confident, critical thinkers who are better prepared for academic and professional success. To learn more, please reach out!
