About Write to Top
The Write to the Top Mission: To help a community of both native and non-native English users build effective English writing skills to apply to all areas of their lives, including in academic, business, and personal contexts.
Those who aim for the highest position quickly want to get ‘right to the top’ (of their class, their industry and career, and so on). To do this, they will have to work hard and acquire the best tools. Our aim is to help you reach the top tiers through better writing, hence Write to the Top.
No. This site targets intermediate to advanced students, as well as native English users. Beginners in English should continue to build basic grammar & vocabulary skills in an ESL setting, as these tools are crucial to good writing. Of course, it certainly helps to watch our videos and try hard.
We upload YouTube videos twice a week. Subscribe to the channel to get notifications of new posts and see the schedule on the homepage for posting dates and topics. Blog posts and other materials do not have a set schedule, but will be updated regularly. Check the website often to see what’s new.
General
You can post English-related questions in the comments under the latest YouTube video post, or on the writetotop Instagram channel. Adam reads all comments and will do his best to address your questions.
Begin by watching Adam’s videos on YouTube. Then, work on building your vocabulary, reviewing your grammar, reading every day, and taking as many practice tests as you can. The key is to practice every day. There are no secrets or shortcuts to success on these exams.
If you have not prepared already for the test, there is not a lot you can do “very soon.” Get some practice tests so you can at least get an idea of what to expect.
Unfortunately, there is little we can do to help you with this situation. You can try using VPN software to mask your identity, but you do this at your own risk and to the best of your ability.
Adam still makes videos for Engvid.com. Those videos are for general English, while Write to the Top focuses on English writing skills.
Build your vocabulary base, read every day, study grammar with a good book, practice, practice, practice. And, yes, watch videos on Youtube.
There are many English tests available out there. IELTS and TOEFL are the most popular of these. In order to help the greatest number of people, we can only focus on these two tests. However, our main focus is fundamental writing skills for various contexts.
Our videos follow a set course of carefully chosen topics that aim to help you write better. While we do read your requests and suggestions, we cannot fulfil all of these requests. We will do our best to focus on questions that can benefit many people.
For all administrative details about the IELTS or TOEFL, please visit their official pages:
