[talk about the education gap]This is a room full of high school graduates. But WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES!(pic source: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/College_graduate_students.jpg)
California ranks 40th among states for highschool graduates going directly to college – far below the nation’s average.(source: http://www.calgrants.org/documents/Education_Stats_Fact_Sheet_2008.pdf)
So what does that mean???? [Why is there a need for organizations such as The Word?]
Means that much of the education system in Cali is FAILING. Students, parents, and teachers alike are looking for new ways to bridge the education gap and PREPARE STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE!
So what do INVOLVED, CONCERNED parents look to do? They consider the SOLUTION ofhiring PROFESSIONAL one-to-one tutors for their children.
The Word is a writing center that assigns accomplished, professional tutors to mentor students on a 1-to-1 basis – especially high school students and people preparing for higher education.
The program’s main focuses will be… SAT scores
…personal statements…
…scholarship essays…
…and general writing ability
Target audience: those MOST concerned about their students’ futures, and those most willing to pay – their PARENTS. Mostly in suburban markets and affluent neighborhoods.
WHY will they be willing to pay? Because they’ll be receiving the QUALITY EDUCATION of a private school for only $39.99 per month or $149.99 per year – saving THOUSANDS of dollars.
By signing on as an advisor, you’ll know that you took part in creating a GREATER future for our GREATEST treasure: our YOUTH.
