“This class was absolutely stunning, and I would most definitely recommend it! This course truly helped me learn lots about sentence structure, grammar, and just writing in general. Every week I would look forward to this class, excited to hear my teacher teach, and be able to chat, as well as encourage my classmates in the chat box. I loved everything about the teaching, to the challenging, but fun, homework assignments I would receive every week. I love this class, and think everyone looking for an outstanding program should look into this course!”

“Writing 6 Exploration is a wonderful course that changed me. First, the teachers were really good. They explain stuff very specifically and well. I first thought that this would be a hard course. But, I could understand everything my teacher taught me because of her brilliant knowledge and experience with a sharp sense of humor. Also, my teacher provided me with detailed comments on my work, helping me get better and know what’s my weakness. Second, this course took my skills to the next level. By practicing writing and grammar every week, I could improve my English skills. Thank you TPS and every teacher who serves to teach children all over the world. I could not have been who I am without you.”

For anyone who wants a transition from elementary to high school, Writing 6 Exploration is the perfect choice.”

“This TPS course, Writing 6 Exploration, sparked my passion for writing further after taking Writing 5 Adventures last year. Now I want to be a writer when I grow up! In class, don’t be afraid to report what you think is an error, share compositions, or ask questions, for feedback is crucial to learning and improvement.”
