Frequently asked questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

Who is this site for?

This site is designed for high school students, college freshmen, adult learners, and anyone looking to strengthen their writing skills—one skill at a time.

Is it really free to join?

Yes! The Free Access plan gives you 10+ sample lessons covering grammar, sentence structure, and paragraph-building. You’ll also get access to view-only worksheets, quizzes, and answer keys—no payment or credit card required.

What do I need to get started?

All you need is a stable internet connection and a modern web browser. We recommend Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. No special software is required—everything runs right in your browser.

What does Beta mean on Standard Access?

“You’re seeing early access to the course. Lessons are complete and ready, but we’ll continue refining based on feedback. You’ll automatically keep access to the finalized Standard Plan.”

Can I use the Lab on my phone or tablet?

Absolutely. The site is mobile-friendly and works on most phones and tablets. That said, we recommend a laptop or desktop for the best experience—especially when reading longer lessons or working with worksheets.

Can I download the worksheets and quizzes?

Free users can view worksheets and quizzes in an embedded image format, perfect for reviewing or printing one page at a time. Standard and Full Access members unlock downloadable versions for easier use and offline study.

What’s included with Standard and Full Access?

Standard Access unlocks full access to Tier 2 and Tier 3 skills: sentence fluency and paragraph development.
Full Access includes everything in Standard plus Tier 4 and Tier 5—covering essay structure, rhetorical strategies, and advanced style techniques. Compare Plans

Will I receive emails or be contacted?

You’ll receive occasional updates about new lessons, writing tools, and site improvements. We’ll never sell or share your information. Read our privacy policy.

Why do the worksheets sometimes appear with white text on a black background on my phone?

That’s your device’s dark mode automatically inverting colors when you open PDFs. The watermark and copyright are still there—it’s just a viewing effect. If you’d like to see the documents in their intended format, switch off dark mode or open them in a dedicated PDF reader app (like Adobe Acrobat).

Who owns the content on Professor L’s Composition and Writing Lab? Do you use AI?

All lessons, exercises, and intellectual property on this site are created and owned by Professor L. From time to time, I use AI tools the way I might use Photoshop or Canva—to design images or help with formatting—but the teaching, examples, and writing instruction are entirely my own work.
