How can Cardinal Education help my child ace the writing sample?

Most kids freeze when the screen says, “You have 30 minutes remaining.” That’s where we shine. At Cardinal Education, we don’t just review grammar rules and teach paragraph structure (though yes, we do that too). We show Los Angeles students how to think fast, write smart, and sound like their best, most compelling selves—even under pressure.

Our tutors are pros at breaking down prompts, organizing ideas on the fly, and building writing habits that stick. We simulate real-time writing sessions, provide detailed feedback, and use scoring rubrics that mirror what private school admissions readers actually use. Plus, we know how to tailor writing prep for students from schools like Crossroads, Windward, Oakwood, and more, so we meet your child where they are.

The result? No deer-in-the-headlights moment on test day. Just calm, clear writing that makes a real impression.
