” ‘A’ just took his end of the year test to measure his progress. In the area of language he grew 6 points since working with you (six months)! The goal for the school year was to grow 4 points! Thanks for all you do!” B. Talamantes (6/2023)
“We have really enjoyed Beth’s IEW class this year (21-22). I love the IEW program but due to life circumstances, I just was not able to teach it effectively myself this year. This class has been a great fit for our family. Beth’s teaching has helped my daughter grasp the IEW concepts and her instruction and expectations are clear. Writing has become one of my daughter’s favorite subjects and our family hopes to continue with more of Beth’s classes in the future.” R. Irvin, parent of middle-school daughter (1/2022)
My son has grown as a writer using IEW. It is the best writing curriculum I have ever seen or used. Beth has made a huge difference too. Grading his papers and giving feedback have developed him as a writer. I used the structure to write a reference letter. IEW works! M. Bullock, mom of middle-school daughter (1/2022)
- I took a few years off of tutoring between 2017 and 2021 to focus on my full-time IEW job. (Beth)
“Although we had the option to log on to other class sessions with different teachers each week, we always chose to remain in Beth’s class. Her IEW experience gave me the confidence to know that the crucial concepts were being taught correctly. Her approach was clear. After instructing the students regarding the assignment and all the structure and style requirements, she always provided an opportunity for them to come up with their own stylistic examples. One of the things I truly appreciated about Beth’s teaching method was that she would encourage students to use their own thoughts, imagination, and wording to complete their key word outlines and to employ their own technique ideas after guiding them with some examples to lead the way.” T. Aguilar, mom of middle-school daughter (5/2017)
“My daughter (5th grade) has always enjoyed writing and has a creative spirit about her. I have definitely seen a growth in her writing skills since IEW. Her creativity has stepped up a few notches. Several times I have found her writing stories of her own, not as a homework assignment. Other parents in the class have shared similar stories with me. Beth’s love for the program (IEW) has trickled down to her students. I will always be grateful for the dedication and encouragement she gave our children” A. LeBlanc, Parent (4/2016)
“Mrs. O’Connor is a great teacher. She helps students when they have trouble understanding something and encourages those of us that are ahead to keep going. She has a very good method of teaching, which is to explain to everyone first and then assist whoever is ahead or behind. Having her as a teacher, it is much simpler to understand everything. I think IEW is an amazing program with an amazing teacher teaching it in an amazing way.” S. Cramer, 6th grade student. (4/2016)
“My daughter was really struggling with writing in her sophomore year. Though she was creative enough to write good content, her writing skills were lacking in grammar and structure costing her hours and hours of frustration since she could not find a way to improve herself. After hiring Mrs. O’Connor, in a few weeks, she was able to accurately tackle this problem and quickly build my daughter’s grammar and structure to levels I myself thought impossible to reach in such a short time. I will be forever grateful to Mrs. O’Connor because her simple to the point practical style broke the barrier that kept my daughter from excelling in writing. And I have not even mentioned how much it boosted my daughter’s self-esteem and ability to believe in excellence.” V. Feo, mom of high school daughter (2/2015)
