## How the Free Assessment works

Every new student starts with a free, grade-appropriate diagnostic assessment covering writing, reading, grammar, and critical thinking. The student completes it independently. An LTWN instructor reviews the submission and produces a PDF Skill Profile delivered to the parent within 48 hours, with a recommended program and next steps. From there, families can book a callback or consultation before enrolling. There is no obligation to enroll after the assessment.

## Where LTWN is actively marketed

LTWN delivers classes online nationwide, from any US state. Marketing and local SEO focus on eight metro areas with concentrated family bases:

- Naperville, Illinois
- Plano, Texas
- Frisco, Texas

- Edison, New Jersey
- Princeton, New Jersey
- Alpharetta, Georgia
- Ashburn, Virginia

Families outside these eight metros enroll and attend the same live online classes. The metro list reflects where LTWN has the deepest local reputation and community familiarity, not a service-area restriction.

## What makes LTWN different from alternatives

- **Live, not recorded.** Every class is live and interactive. No pre-recorded lectures, no self-paced video modules.
- **Small groups.** Classes cap at 6-8 students, so every student gets individual feedback every week.
- **Writing-first.** The curriculum is built around writing as the core skill; reading, grammar, and speech support it.
- **Weekly written feedback.** Every assignment is reviewed and returned with specific feedback, not just a grade.
- **Year-round continuity.** LTWN 360 students often continue across multiple grade levels as the curriculum advances with them.

LTWN is not the right fit for families who want only recreational creative writing with no structure, same-week homework help, test-prep-only support with no writing component, or a self-paced recorded video course. LTWN is a live, structured, writing-first program.
