Free Class - Writing for Teachers - Students - Creative Writing = Good Writing

"Just because you get good grades, it doesn’t mean you understand the subject that well. His book gives great examples and explanations of what to do.... Teachers need to tell the students what they are doing wrong and how to improve."

High School Student

"I learned more about the English language in this program than I learned in four years of high school (in honors English classes). Mr. McClory explains everything and answers all questions with ease."

College Freshman

"This program supplemented the brief bits of grammar learned in high school English. Some concepts introduced in the section on style were completely new to me. The most interesting parts were the simple things no one had ever bothered to explain to me."

High School Student

"Mr. McClory' provides clear explanations of subjects that I had always found confusing, especially punctuation."

Middle School Student

"Beyond knowing the rules of grammar and usage, Mr. McClory integrated the history and purpose of different rules and terms to make concepts easier to understand.”

High School Student

"The textbook makes excellent use of examples.... Schools should put greater emphasis on the fundamentals to create a solid base for each student’s growth."

College Sophomore

"Mr. McClory reviews the entire structure of the English language. My high school classes skipped over parts.... The most interesting thing I learned is how to use punctuation correctly.... "

High School Student

"I have been in TAG English for the last five years. I remember learning a little bit about the things presented in the course, but a lot of it was new. The teacher makes English exciting, especially the grammar part."

Middle School Student

"Mr. McClory's approach is easy to follow and understand. He gives great examples and uses different methods to explain how the English language works."

College Freshman

"For me, English is a second language. Even though I got good grades on most of my writing assignments, I never really understood why one way of saying things in English worked better than another. This course changed all that. Thank you."
