Where students stall

The four failures we see most.

  • Essays that summarise the text instead of arguing about it
  • Weak or invisible thesis statements
  • Quotation dropped in without analysis
  • Strong ideas lost to unclear sentence construction

How we fix it

Our approach.

  • Teach a repeatable essay architecture, then vary it
  • Mark against the actual Ontario rubric the teacher uses
  • Rewrite one paragraph to a high standard rather than skim five
  • Build a personal quotation and evidence bank per text
