TUTORWORKS CODE WRITE DRAW
CODE WRITE DRAW is an innovative program designed to engage even the most reluctant learners. Our unique approach integrates computer science, creative writing, and the arts to engage students in a personal journey that fosters self-efficacy, and positions them for long-term success inside and outside the classroom.
CODE
WRITE
DRAW
Students code a video game, write a novella based on the Hero’s Journey, and learn how to draw.
Each participant receives at least 20 plus hours of STEAM-related instruction, plus optional workshop time with their peers. The program uses a "Hero's Journey" thematic framework and includes exposure to local industry professionals who share their own STEAM journeys. The program culminates with an exhibition where students present their completed work to industry expert judges and families.
This cohort-based learning program has been a favorite during modified school settings with greater than 90% attendance across all programs. TUTORWORKS CODE WRITE DRAW INTERVENTION combines the highly engaging CODE WRITE DRAW program with extra class time focused on the computational thinking skills that anchor the coding class and the mechanics of the writing process (including sentence and paragraph structure, editing, and grammar).
Comparative mythology researcher Joseph Campbell popularized the concept of the “Hero’s Journey” as the common story across cultures of a hero who goes on an adventure, faces tests and trials, and returns home changed. The “Hero’s Journey” serves as the thematic framework for the CODE WRITE DRAW program modules and provides an integrated narrative student experience.

Mastery Learning is an instructional strategy, formally proposed by Benjamin S. Bloom, which maintains that students must achieve a level of mastery before moving forward to another subject area. If students do not achieve mastery, they are given additional support in learning the information, until mastery has been accomplished. TUTORWORKS programs follow the methods of Mastery Learning and believe that through alternative supports and adaptive learning, every student can achieve mastery!
PARENT TESTIMONIALS
We have thousands of parent testimonials we have collected over the years. Here is what our parents say about our programs.
TutorWorks has worked great for Kina. I have noticed her academic growth and her desire to want to learn more. She's excited to learn and is not afraid to ask for help when needed. Kina's reading has improved so much with tutoring.
Burlingame
TutorWorks was wonderful! My daughter's needs were assessed on the first day of services and the manager created a lesson plan for her with specific goals. The tutor assigned to my daughter was a good match because she allowed my daughter to work at her pace. The online workbooks were very helpful and easy to understand. My daughter improved a lot and looks forward to joining the program again in the Fall.

My daughter liked it so much she never wanted to miss one day. I had to pick her up early and she begged me to let her stay.
