How it Works

Though it’s true that our Individualized Writing Courses are carried out via e-mail, it is not the case that our students and teachers are simply e-mailing one another, back and forth, from their own personal e-mail addresses! On the contrary, we make use of a highly complex computer system which 1) preserves your privacy, 2) creates a perfect record-keeping system, and 3) allows parents and students to get quick answers to their questions when their writing consultant may be unavailable.

When students enroll in our program, they are assigned a special “client code” which allows our system to identify who they are. Using that code, students can switch from one e-mail address to another without ever having to notify us of the change: as long as the student knows his code, the system will recognize who he or she is, and will make sure the mail gets sent to his or her writing consultant.

Likewise, the client code allows our system to catalog all the mail that the student (or parent, as is often the case) and writing consultant exchange.

So, when you send a piece of mail to your writing consultant, the mail doesn’t actually go to your writing consultant -- it goes first to our office system, where it is screened (for personal contact information such as physical addresses and phone numbers, which are removed) and archived. Additionally, your e-mail address is removed, so that the only thing left to identify you is your client code and your name. The system therefore protects your personal contact information to such a degree that your writing consultant has no way to contact you except through our office system. Similarly, you won’t have any way of knowing your writing consultant’s personal contact information.

In addition to having our computer system archive all the mail, we also have a person sitting in front of the system all day (and through a significant portion of the night) to answer student and parent questions. The result is that if you lose a piece of mail, or if you need a copy of a message you sent to your writing consultant (or one that he or she sent to you!), you can simply e-mail our office at office@writeguide.com to explain your situation, and someone will help you out right away.
