Active Voice Writing provides transformative writing support for middle and high school students throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Focused on admission essays, homework help, and academic enrichment, we empower young people to own their learning and write with precision, depth, and feeling.

Trusted English Expertise

Exclusively focused on writing instruction, we are masters of our discipline and craft. Teaching humanities is our specialty, so we know good writing—and we know how to bring the best work out of each student. We respect writing as an iterative process and have based our proven formula on best practices to help adolescents channel their creativity and develop lifelong communication skills.

Independent School Perspective

As recent faculty at leading independent schools, our instructors appreciate the unique demands placed on high-achieving students. We are not only familiar with the culture and curricula of private middle and high schools, but we also have insider experience partnering with families and motivating students to achieve their potential as writers.

Discussion-Based Approach

Students enjoy our one-on-one sessions and group seminars because each is a social enterprise. We cultivate student engagement by striking the right balance between autonomy and accountability. Meeting students at their individual level, we nurture relationships with authenticity, integrity, and respect.
