15 Reasons Why Students, Parents and Educators in Savannah Recommend Rick Goldman’s Grade Raising Essay Writing Tutoring, Presentations, Classes and Materials.
As you’re learning on this blog—to write a grade raising essay you have to take a position on your topic, create 3 proof points and then find 3 proof details that prove each point.
One of the most effective and powerful ways to prove your position is to get comments that prove your points from real live people who have experience with whatever it is you are trying to prove.
In my case, I have to prove to you that the ideas I’m giving you on this blog actually work so you’ll actually believe me enough to give them a try.
So here’s what 15 students, parents and teachers in Savannah and other parts of America have to say about how my essay writing tutoring, classes and materials helped them get more motivated, achieve better grades and gain lots more writing and real life confidence.
============================
“After getting 60’s on my first two AP English summer essays, my mom asked Mr. Goldman to coach me. He showed me how to take a position, find lots of proof and in only 3 hours I improved two grades and got an 80 on my final essay. I was actually excited to turn my paper in and I feel so much more confident about writing now.”
—Erin West, junior, Savannah, GA

“Alex writes frequently and she does get stuck. But she got into the car one day after Rick’s class and just had all of these solutions to every writing problem she’s ever had. She said, ‘Now I have a method to use whenever I get stuck.’ It was so very, very, very helpful to her. She was just beaming about it.”
— Sheila Magness, mother of Alex (St. Vincent’s Academy), Savannah, GA

“What I like best about Rick’s program it is that it focuses the students’ attention on what they need to know and need to do right now. It’s basically what I teach over a longer period of time but he’s cut out all the fat and gotten it down to a lean 10 questions they can use and refer back to.
His booklet and questions are like a No Rules Rulebook that turns planning and writing into simple steps. They say that if you follow the steps then put them together—you’ll have a good essay. The questioning mode allows them to discover what they have to say instead of having rules telling them what to say. So what happens is that they feel freer to write more and with more fluency, which makes them feel successful and more willing to write in the future.
The improvement in both the AP and low level students’ grades the first time Rick took them through it proves how well it works. (71% raised their grades!) I recommend it for both middle and high school students.”
— Grover Crosby, 11th Grade English Teacher, St. Vincent’s Academy, Savannah GA

“You can’t motivate teenagers by telling them what to do. You have to ask them questions that produce answers so they realize that doing this thing has a payoff that’s far more beneficial than not doing it. Rick’s Essay Writing Questions do this. Magically. In an amazingly short time. It’s a breakthrough system.”
— Dr. Mary Dreyer, Psychotherapist, Portland, OR

“The best part of Mr. Goldman’s essay writing system is how he helped us get proof for our point of view. I definitely feel more confident now about writing essays than I did before. I don’t know why but I feel more at peace with it. I’m not worrying about doing essays for summer reading and I know the essay book will be helpful next semester when I have to do lots more writing.”
— Amy Frazier, senior, Savannah, GA

“This method worked the first time Rick tried with it my two AP U.S. History Classes. It produced a bigger quantity and a better quality of writing than normal in a very short time (even with the last class of the day on Friday afternoon.) It’s because he’s coming at it the way a professional writer approaches writing, not the way a teacher like me was taught to do it. His materials helped them get more motivated and really solve the position taking, proof finding and proof proving problem.”
—Mary Catherine Mesaros, 11th grade history teacher, St. Vincent’s Academy,
Savannah, GA

“Rick has a talent for helping young people feel they have something to say—and then feel good about saying it. One of our students said Rick’s writing class was more fun than going to Disneyland!”
— Christine Demmitt, Executive Director, Gifted Children’s Association
of the San Fernando Valley, Van Nuys, CA

“I was struggling with a story idea and Rick’s Idea Flipperoo asked me to approach it in a way that I wouldn’t usually try. So I made an outline (which I never do) and wrote a nine-page story in three hours. I’d never written more than five pages at one time in my whole life!”
— Joey Fink, 10th Grader, Camarillo, CA

“Mr. Goldman’s The 2nd Biggest Success Secret CD Volume 2 is full of positive motivation ideas and great advice. Listening to it while driving home from school last week gave me the motivation to start researching a play that I wanted to write. I got home and immediately went to work. My mom has also been trying to tell me about seeking out more opportunities and after listening to the stories on this CD a lot of what she’s been saying finally made sense!”
— Kelsey Chandler, 12th grader, Savannah, GA

“The SAT essay and writing in college are all about the writer being able to articulate their position on a subject and support it with reasons and examples. Rick is teaching your kids the skills to perform well on the SAT and to become themselves! And he’s an inspiring coach. I know because he’s coached me.”
—Dr. Monica Andrews, SAT Essay Test Scorer, Beverly MA. and creator of the Reel
Wisdom Series of ‘Videos For College Admission and Success’ www.reelwisdom.com

“Reading your 2nd Biggest Success Secret and Stories Book helped me right away. When I read the ‘Take Your Trusty Tape Recorder’ section I realized I could take a tape recorder and interview all the people I have to talk to for a project on Iraq. That was great because before that I could never keep up with what people were saying to write it down. It worked instantly. After I read the “Am I Good Enough To Be In A Show?’ section, especially the part where you talk about how you got the confidence to act in front of a large crowd, I decided I’m going to try out for a solo in chorus for the Christmas Show and sing in front of hundreds of people. Reading your book gave me that much confidence and I’m already reading it again.”
— Shelby Brantley, 9th grader, Savannah, GA

“Lauren usually complains about things she doesn’t like but she didn’t complain about the way you taught the essay writing at all. She loved every minute of the class and it was a great way to help her with her writing before she enters high school this fall. You did an excellent job with her, excellent. She was so into what you were doing and enjoyed you so much that she said, ‘Mom, I’m going to take the story I’ve been writing and show Mr. Goldman.’ And she just doesn’t do that. She’s been so shy. It was a wonderful experience.”
— Cindy Davis, mother of Lauren (age 14), Savannah, GA

“The essay writing part of the class and what you put into the essay writing book really did help me. Before this class I really didn’t know how to organize my ideas. But this helped me to do it automatically without thinking about it. It organized all my thoughts to where each paragraph should go, what to put into the opening paragraph and what to put into the conclusion. I would absolutely recommend this because it can raise your grade letter from C to A. I love to write stories but when it comes to essays I get stressed out. Now that I’ve learned all this and have the book I think I’ll get less stressed in the future.”
— Alex Magness, senior, St. Vincent’s Academy, Savannah, GA

Kelsey loved the Goldman’s drama program at St. Vincent’s. They helped her increase her self esteem, her ability to get on stage and face an audience, actually lose herself in the part, feel good about herself and and express herself in a way that she doesn’t get to do in other arenas. She felt the Goldmans were very positive, that they always tried to find the positive part of the person and that they always motivated her to excel above what she thought her potential was. She felt like they just “hung the moon.” And as a senior, with Rick’s coaching, she won the regional Shakespeare Monologue competition and competed in the national finals at the Lincoln Center in New York City. The Goldman’s program is a win-win situation for both the parents and daughter. It promotes confidence and communication skills and really teaches everything. And if your child’s happy, you’re going to be happy. As your daughter takes part in this, you’ll get a better child out of it.”
— Norbert Chandler, Kelsey’s dad, Tybee Island, GA

“No matter what college major your child chooses or what field they enter after college, they’ll have to be able to find their own ideas, shape them, stand behind them and communicate them to others (like professors, bosses, co-workers and clients). And they’ll have to communicate in actual writing (not just e-mail and text messaging). Rick’s new Essay Writing Coaching program gives your child the unique opportunity to learn and apply these crucial life skills now while working on a current paper. Then use the booklet with future assignments, papers and big projects as often as they want. And it really does raise their writing grades. Call Rick now.”
