<p>My girl (aged 12 & Grade 7) wants to do a writing course online. Primarily, she wants to improve her essay writing skills for school works. I found 3 courses:-
(1) CTY's "Crafting the Essay"
(2) CTD's "Critical Writing"
(3) CTD's "Effective Essay Writing: Writing for Test Preparation, College Applications & Beyond"
Are these courses good? Any other suggestions? Thanks!</p>
<p>Any experience with these courses? Any advice please?</p>
<p>My son took the CTY course, and found it to be very helpful.</p>
<p>EPGY writing courses are also very good.</p>
<p>My daughter did a middle-school level writing course online through CTY a few years ago. As in all writing classes, the caliber of the teacher is what makes or breaks the class. This teacher gave extremely thoughtful and detailed written critques of my daughter’s writing–much, much more than any classroom teacher ever has. For my daughter, it was a great experience.</p>
<p>Anybody has experience with CTD’s writing courses? Also, how would one compare CTY’s “Crafting the Essay” with EPGY’s writing courses?</p>
