Greetings!
Thanks for coming to Prompt, where our mission is to make you or your students better writers. Nearly three-quarters of high school students score below proficient in writing, and one-third require remedial English courses in college. We see the impact of this every day. For example, the average first draft of a college admissions essay submitted to Prompt is C-quality. Together, we are going to change this paradigm. Here's how:
Tools to help students develop their content and structure before they start writing. Half of the essays we see don't answer the prompt and three-quarters suffer from a poor structure. Instead of focusing on having students start with a first draft, our philosophy is to build tools to help students think through content to include and how to structure it.
Access to personalized writing feedback. Personalized learning is the most effective and cost efficient way to teach. We've found any student can take a C-quality essay to A-quality in two to three revisions based on detailed personalized feedback. The best part? The results are long lasting with a student's subsequent first drafts starting in a much better place. At Prompt, we've developed editing tools that dramatically decrease the time required to provide comprehensive essay feedback, and we've built a global network of writing specialists we call "Sages."
Effective communication skills are the key for students to achieve their dreams. Join us on our journey and start using our products for college essays today. If you would like to get involved, please feel free to email me at brad@prompt.com.
Write well and prosper!
