About
At EWC, we believe that strong writing skills serve as the bedrock of being a stronger thinker. That ability to write and think clearly is integral not only to a liberal arts education, but also to our roles in the community at large.
Writing is not easy to teach: it is so personal to every student. We want to change the way writing is taught by providing students by focusing on the FOUNDATIONS:
-
Learning How to Read & Engagement
-
"Making Sentences Pop" & Applied Grammar
-
Building Paragraphs & Logical Connections
-
Constructing Cohesive Pieces of Writing
Since our inception in January 2020, we have grown to over a thousand students from 6 different countries. We're so excited that you want to help be a part of our mission. We cannot wait for you to join our community! ❤️
Meet the Team
We are run by Harvard alumni who believe in democratizing access to the liberal arts.
