Frequently Asked Questions
How should students prepare for the seminar?
Reading the textbooks in advance and thinking about possible topics would help but are not required.
When is payment due?
Anytime before the seminar.
When will I get the Zoom link?
An email will be sent to registrants with instructions.
Would the seminar help my younger student?
Learning how to write a narrative essay is useful. Younger students would get some exposure to how to structure such an essay. However, it is a fast-paced class that assumes writing experience. Additionally, the older the student, the more life experiences there are to draw on for the essay. If you are considering signing up a younger student, we can discuss it first.
