Experience an intensive 30-hour writing program with our distinguished instructor Dr. Chin, an MIT Ph.D. graduate! This three-week bootcamp (2 hours daily for 15 days) is tailored for high school students in two age groups: HS Level 1 (14-16 years) and HS Level 2 (15-18 years). Each session begins with analyzing carefully selected literary works - from Sherlock Holmes mysteries and inspiring speeches by JFK and Winston Churchill to thought-provoking essays by E.B. White, Frederick Douglas, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Students then craft their own thematically similar pieces under Dr. Chin's expert guidance. HS Level 1 focuses on developing critical thinking through literature analysis, research-based essays, and comprehensive reports. HS Level 2 advances to university-style writing and college application essays. Students will master various writing styles including persuasive essays, comparative analysis, narratives, biographical writing, scientific papers, and even Shakespeare analysis. This intensive program creates a dynamic learning environment that bridges analytical thinking with practical writing skills essential for academic success.

Our program emphasizes developing advanced analytical skills through close reading and discussion. Students learn to identify and analyze complex literary techniques, from metaphors and symbolism to advanced rhetorical devices. They practice breaking down arguments, evaluating evidence, and understanding different perspectives through careful textual analysis.
Students dive deep into a carefully curated selection of literary works spanning different periods and styles. Through guided reading and discussion, they develop a sophisticated understanding of how authors craft their messages and how different literary elements work together to create meaning.
The program builds strong foundations in academic writing, preparing students for university-level work. Students learn to craft sophisticated arguments, conduct thorough research, and present their ideas clearly and effectively. Special attention is given to college application essays, helping students develop their unique voice while meeting academic standards.
