Why Choose Rose Writing Center?

Clear thinking

We teach students a framework to independently organize, develop, and refine their ideas. With each composition, students apply skills for structured planning, higher-order thinking, and guided revision. We believe all students can achieve clarity of thought.

Fundamentals first

We believe writing is a skill best developed through practice and imitation, much like learning an instrument, so we teach students how to write before what to write. Our assignments incorporate text reconstruction, with students writing compositions from source material that models exceptional writing.

Tailored feedback

Our instructors serve as editors during the drafting process, providing individualized feedback and suggestions for improvement. Instructor feedback reinforces that writing is an iterative process requiring collaboration, reflection, and revision.

“I am so grateful to have you with us. My son's passion for writing has grown and I've found my inner peace back since we enrolled with Rose Writing Center. He has made phenomenal developments and I am sure we are on the right track!”
