<div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:12px;">This one-week workshop will focus on helping each student understand and develop an authentic voice, which he or she will then use in compelling self-narration. Daily activities will include how to brainstorm topics, how to begin the writing process, and how to approach revisions without losing what is unique and spontaneous in a first draft. Students will have an opportunity to discuss sample essays and to receive one-on-one feedback from the instructor. </span></div>

<span style="font-size:12px;">"Academic Approach classroom courses are uniquely effective and efficient because of the high level of customized teaching we provide. As expert tutors, we know that one size does not fit all, so we differentiate each class, customizing each study plan to the class’s specific strengths and weaknesses. The class begins with a diagnostic test, and our proprietary diagnostic analysis provides us with a powerful, in-depth understanding of the class’s most common and immediate learning needs.</span></p>
