We recommend starting with the Writing Symphony Grade Level Courses, as they form the foundation of our methodology.
For students new to Writing Symphony, we suggest enrolling based on their current grade level:
What sets us apart is our step-by-step approach, based on the Institute for Excellence in Writing methodology, which teaches skills often not covered in traditional English Language Arts classes. Our balanced literacy approach ensures that students grow in listening, reading, and speaking, while gaining confidence in writing.
Our process is practice-based, helping students gradually master advanced writing techniques. Our public speaking program, based on the Olson Method, boosts confidence and presentation skills through proven strategies.
All of our teachers are certified educators with teaching credentials and real classroom experience, so your student learns from trusted professionals who understand how to teach writing effectively.
Writing Symphony switched to 100% virtual classes at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Online classes allow us to hire the best instructors nationwide and provide flexible access for students around the world. Additionally, virtual classrooms facilitate Real-Time Editing, allowing teachers to give immediate, valuable feedback on student submissions.
As virtual learning continues to grow, students at Writing Symphony gain a competitive edge by developing strong communication and presentation skills. Our online platform allows students to engage in learning from anywhere. Additionally, they learn to effectively use modern technology, enhancing their digital literacy and preparing them for future academic and professional environments.
To be fully prepared for each class, please ensure your student has the following:
Homework varies by class, but generally, students can expect weekly assignments that take around 15-20 minutes per day to complete. For writing classes, this typically includes a writing assignment and a grammar worksheet.

Yes. Writing Symphony classes help students develop skills that support many types of school assignments.
Students learn how to:
• organize ideas clearly
• develop paragraphs with supporting details
• express opinions and explain their thinking
• revise and strengthen their writing
These skills support both creative and academic writing tasks across subjects.
Each class is interactive and designed to help students build writing skills step by step.
Students typically:
• respond to creative or analytical writing prompts
• brainstorm ideas and organize their thoughts
• write during class with teacher guidance
• share ideas in a supportive environment
• receive feedback to strengthen their writing
Classes are structured to keep students engaged while developing clarity, organization, and confidence.
Many students who join Writing Symphony begin with low confidence in writing.
Our teachers are experienced in helping students who:
• feel overwhelmed by writing assignments
• struggle to organize their ideas
• feel unsure how to begin writing
• lack confidence sharing their work
Teachers break writing tasks into manageable steps and create a positive classroom environment where students feel comfortable trying new ideas.
Over time, many students discover that writing is something they can succeed at.
Sharing is encouraged, but students are never pressured. We understand that some students feel shy at first and may need time to feel comfortable in a new class environment. Our teachers create a supportive classroom atmosphere where students can participate at their own pace and gradually build confidence sharing their ideas. Over time, many students become more comfortable presenting their work and participating in discussions.
Teacher fit is important, and we want every student to feel comfortable and supported in class. Our teachers are experienced in helping new students feel welcome and engaged from the very first session.
If a class does not feel like the right fit, please reach out to us. We are happy to work with families to find a better option whenever possible so each student can learn in an environment where they feel confident and supported.
Writing Symphony instructors are experienced, credentialed language arts educators who go through a careful vetting and selection process. Each teacher is trained in our structured writing methodology, ensuring consistency in instruction across all classes.
Our teachers focus on creating an encouraging classroom environment while guiding students through the writing process step by step.
You can learn more about our teachers by visiting our team page.
Many parents ask about meeting the teacher before class begins. Because our teachers are actively teaching classes throughout the day, we are not able to schedule individual meet and greet calls prior to enrollment.
The best way to see if a teacher is a good fit for your child is to experience a live class with them. Our teachers are experienced in helping new students feel comfortable, engaged, and supported from the very first session.
