FAQs
+ What platforms do you use for your virtual coaching and tutoring sessions?
We use Zoom and Google Docs. This combination allows us to interact face-to-face with our clients while collaboratively editing shared documents. We’ve found this method works well for clients of all ages - even ones in elementary school!
+ How do you take payment?
The Gilliam Writers Group accepts payment via electronic invoices sent through Square. No cash or check payments will be accepted.
+ How long can one coaching / tutoring session be?
To avoid burnout (and boredom), we usually don’t meet with clients for longer than 2 hours at a time.
+ Are you hiring new tutors / editors / writing coaches?
Once in a while, we are! Please feel free to introduce yourself - you can send a resume and writing sample to brady@gilliamwritersgroup.com.
+ Do you train your coaches/tutors/editors?
We commit to certain shared values as writers and teachers, and solidify those through collaboration, but all of our faculty join the GWG team with incredible training and work experience already under their belts. Most have graduate degrees in literature, writing or related fields from the country's top MFA and PhD programs; substantial work experience in the publishing industry, media, or education; strong track records of academic or literary publication; or all of the above.
+ Do you offer reduced rates to clients seeking long-term support?
Unfortunately, the Gilliam Writers Group cannot offer discounted rates for long-term tutoring, writing coaching, or editing services.
+ Do you accept clients who speak no / very little English?
We specialize in advanced ESL, so in order to benefit from our services, our clients should speak English proficiently. However, perfect fluency is not necessary or expected for clients speaking English as a foreign language.
+ Say I’m certain I want to schedule, say, 10 or 20 hours of tutoring, editing, or writing coaching. Can I pay in advance for a certain number of lessons?
Absolutely. Contact us to work out the details.
+ Are you booking new clients?
Yes! Contact us above. To learn more about what we do, please visit our Services page.
+ Can your editors help with copy for my website / business / blog?
Yes, we can. Feel free to schedule a consultation to discuss.
+ Will you write my essay / research paper / school project for me?
No. We don't help students cheat in school; we're not that kind of tutoring company. We want to help students learn!
+ Would you refer me to a previous or current client so that I can ask them about their experience with the Gilliam Writers Group?
We’d be happy to! Just ask, and we’ll connect you.
+ Brady - why did you start out as a private tutor and writing coach, and not a teacher?
Our school system encourages teachers to rely on external incentives to drive student performance, and I’m more passionate about the inside-out approach to education: inspiring students to love English for its own sake, for its potential to enrich their lives, and letting the results follow from there.
