THE GRAMMAR GROUP

When The Grammar Group began what ultimately became a major success, we had virtually no competition. Employers were unable to overlook the poor grammar and writing skills of vast numbers of their staff members. Criticism of the American public schools had become a vocal complaint. The Grammar Group was welcomed by corporations across the country. Among the most often repeated statements praising our seminars were, "I wish I'd had you as a teacher in junior or senior high," and "My child's English teacher could certainly use this seminar!"
During the 20 years in which The Grammar Group experienced the pinnacle of its success in the United States (as well as Canada and the United Kingdom), the computer age had its beginnings. It became immutably clear business communications were simply no longer being carried out in the same way. Email--an unknown concept in 1978 when we started--emerged and took over. And along with it came software for nearly every conceivable curriculum, including grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure. The trend in corporate America was to eliminate trainer-led programs, replacing them with computer-based training.
Human resources and training departments universally focused upon improving employees' computer fluency. By 2000, The Grammar Group had a handful of competitotrs. All of us, of course, experienced a decrease in interest for grammar and business writing seminars. While our competition added computer-oriented programs to their offerings, The Grammar Group steadfastly refused to follow this route and, instead, continuously updated our small, select list of seminars, adding our Effective Email course (Effective Business Writing for Today's Writer). We maintained our well known standard of excellence and lowest price in the industry--ad we simply learned to live on less income.
Within the past two years, a growing awareness began to take place among training and human resources managers and directors. It is best summarized by one of them: "There are skills that just cannot be effectively taught without an expert--a coach--a teacher present. One of them is swimming; the other is grammar and writing skills." And, thus, The Grammar Group is experiencing a renaissance--a noteworthy increase in the demand for our service again.
LET'S FACE REALITY
"I never knew a subject as boring as grammar could be made so fascinating!. This is the best seminar I've ever taken."
"I learned more about spelling and punctuation in those two days than in the 12 years I spent in a parochial school!"
"I didn't look at my watch once. The instructor held my attention from the introduction straight through to the last minute."
"Besides the materials and the notes, we were all given a complete written review of the seminar as we were leaving. Amazing class!"
