My daughter loved this class, and the teacher had great communication!

Both my daughters enjoyed this class. When my 13-year-old had the opportunity to hang out with friends or take the class, she was adamant that her friends could wait until class was over! The girls both learned new ways to improve their writing over the course of a week.

Writing used to be a constant struggle for my child. Diana helped them feel calmer, more confident, and more capable—without taking over their work. The support felt thoughtful and encouraging, and we finally saw real progress in both their writing and their confidence.

My daughter loved this class. While she already feels comfortable writing essays, her biggest concern as she preps for the AP tests is writing under a time limit. Because of this class, she's already feeling much more confident in her ability to write her AP essays. As her mom, I can also see how this class has helped prepare her for university next year, where she will likely face more written assignments. Before, my daughter liked to spend a lot of time planning and plotting what she would write, before typing out what she felt was a nearly-final essay. Now, she's much more comfortable getting words quickly onto the page and going back in to edit. She also really enjoyed her interactions and time spent with her teacher. I would highly recommend this class.

Another incredible class from Diana Firestone. This was the second time my daughter took classes with this instructor (this and another essay-practice class), and we're so happy with the outcome. With each essay, my daughter is feeling stronger and better prepared for the AP exams this spring. I highly recommend this course and instructor; she's been great with my daughter, who was a confident writer but needed help with the timed aspect of the AP exams and with hitting the exact requirements for the best score possible.
