Online Essay Writing Class
eslPaperChecker offers online writing classes for students of all abilities. Our 2 month curriculum will give students detailed instructions on how to write an effective paper. There are two classes per week.
From comparative essays to highly developed research papers, eslPaperChecker has it all! Our students learn essay writing in three basic steps: Ideas and Organization, Support Building, and Polishing. At the Ideas and Organization stage, students use brainstorming techniques and essay outlines to form a well balanced and logical passage. At the support building stage, students learn about which supporting details are appropriate for their passages and which arguments they should avoid. Finally, at the polishing stage students take a second look at their passage and refine their arguments. Students are encouraged to think critically to form a fair and unbiased paper.
If Essay Class students need more time to complete assignments they may take up to four months to complete one term. Intensive Class students may take up to two months.
