Helping ambitious AP, IB, S.T.E.M., GIFTED & HONORS PROGRAM high school students

Get Top English and Exam Marks

Bridging The Analytical Gap That Exists In Most High School English Classrooms. 

Excellent writing skills are foundational to every student’s current and future success.

We’re here to show and teach masterful writing and analytical skills to every student, so they can get top grades, even if they don’t read or write much. 

Getting top English marks shouldn’t feel like an unattainable goal that is reserved for only avid readers or writers with an expansive vocabulary.

In fact, top English marks are within reach for every high school student who desires to become a strong writer. 

Why are we so confident that you, too, can achieve top grades?

We’re confident because we’ve been helping students do exactly this for over two decades

Our students often get the top grades in their classes and on their final exams, they become university-ready well before high school graduation, and they thrive (not just survive) in university and beyond. . 

If you’re hard-working and want to become a competent writer so that you can tackle any assignment or writing task thrown at you with one hundred percent certainty and confidence, you have arrived at the right place. 

Why do we consistently deliver excellent results and elevate our students to the top?

During our decades of teaching writing and analysis, we have realized that the keystone to student writing success is a technique we call the D.M.A. METHOD.

Simply stated, we DEMONSTRATE analytical skills and superb writing in front of students in real-time, then they MIRROR the techniques, and finally, students achieve success through the integration of ANALYSIS . 

We analyze literature and non-fiction and teach what tools writers use to communicate their key arguments. Then, we DEMONSTRATE how to construct thesis statements, topic and transitional sentences, paragraphs, essays, comparison essays, rhetorical, critical and research papers in real-time.

Each class, students MIRROR the analytical and writing techniques, and write paragraphs and essays that allow them to internalize concepts. While they write, they are GUIDED towards logical interpretation through a very specific ANALYTICAL Q & A framework that is meant to help them arrive at analysis. . 

The “DEMONSTRATE, MIRROR & ANALYZE METHOD” empowers students as they begin to understand the power of analysis and the written word ; they hone their writer’s voices, begin thinking critically, and start writing superb essays with so much insight that we often learn from them! The D.M.A. METHOD paves the way for students to become university ready.

“This is why we put in different pieces of content in each item.”


“If we don't, we'll never get an accurate representation of how these items will behave in the real world. It's important to try out differing lengths of content to see how it responds.”
