Trained in comparative literature at Columbia, Jacob treats writing as a craft with movable parts — thesis construction, evidence integration, paragraph architecture, and revision strategy each get dedicated attention. He's particularly sharp at teaching students how to move from a rough idea to a p...

Every piece of writing is an argument, even when it doesn't look like one. Moya's graduate philosophy training has made her sharp at identifying a paper's real thesis, cutting tangential paragraphs, and building evidence into each body section so the whole piece holds together logically. She's equal...

Owen treats writing as a thinking process: if the argument is muddy on the page, it's usually muddy in the writer's head first. He teaches students to outline their reasoning before drafting, then revise with an eye toward whether each paragraph advances a single clear point. That structure-first ap...

Getting thoughts onto the page is one challenge; shaping them into clear, persuasive prose is another. Maya breaks the writing process into concrete steps — outlining an argument, choosing evidence, writing transitions that actually connect ideas — so students build confidence before they ever face ...

Getting ideas out of your head and onto the page in a coherent structure is its own skill, separate from grammar or vocabulary. Caitlyn breaks the writing process into concrete steps — brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising — so students stop staring at blank screens and start producing work t...

Her Master's in Education from Stanford means she can pinpoint whether a student's draft needs a sharper thesis, better pa...

After nearly a decade producing short fiction and longer-form prose, Luke knows that strong writing starts with a clear sense of what you're actually trying to say — and that revision is where the real work happens. He digs into thesis construction, paragraph architecture, and voice, teaching studen...

Strong writing starts with knowing what you're actually trying to say — then organizing evidence, controlling tone, and revising ruthlessly.

Most writing struggles aren't about grammar — they're about not knowing what you're trying to say until you've already said it badly three times. Heather tackles that messy early stage head-on, teaching students how to brainstorm with purpose, build outlines that actually function, and revise with f...

Getting ideas onto the page is one problem; organizing them into something a reader can follow is a completely different one. Sophia treats writing as a process with distinct, teachable stages — brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising — and shows students how to use each stage instead of skippi...
