Essay Writing Bootcamp: Round One Recap

on

The first group of students who attended Nicky’s Essay Writing Bootcamp from August 8th to 12th found the week fun and extremely helpful for all high school and university writing, including supplementary essays for university. From August 29th to September 2nd, Options Solutions will be running its second round of Essay Writing Bootcamp at the South Granville office. The week is an intensive course based around writing production, feedback, peer editing and lessons on grammar and the basics of good essay writing. Students of all high school and university levels are welcome, but the course is especially useful for those students going into Grade 12 and writing supplemental essays for university applications this coming year.

Personal statements about this past week’s Essay Writing Bootcamp:

“I thoroughly enjoyed this past week. Having a course where note packages were handed out was very useful. I will definitely be referring back to my red binder. I would recommend this course to anyone because I found it to be very clear and the things we learned were really helpful.”

“I would definitely recommend this class for anyone going into Grade 12. I feel like I might be able to actually write an essay acceptable enough to send to universities. It was also really great to have other people my age who I don’t know read my work and edit it because I didn’t care if they thought it was bad or not.”

“This essay bootcamp was very helpful and useful. I have learned many new skills and techniques that will help me through school. I would definitely recommend this course.”
