The right words. The right grammar. Every time.

Are you a college student or advanced ESL learner struggling with tricky grammar rules, confusing word choices, or frustrating punctuation mistakes? You're not alone.

Students often have thoughts like these:
"I can't wrap my head around the difference between affect and effect. Or imply and infer."
"What's wrong with amount of people?"
"Each of the students was or were?"
"I'm never really sure when to use that or which."
"How do I punctuate a sentence containing however?"
"Is it really true that I can't end a sentence with a preposition?"
"I don't know how to use the word arguably in my writing."
