 Did you know your teen is probably missing out on one of the simplest tools to improve their essay marks — and it takes less than 10 minutes to learn?

Welcome to the world of Essay Power Words — specific, high-impact words that instantly upgrade vague, clunky writing into confident, analytical brilliance.

Most teens stick with basic phrases like “This shows…” or “This proves…” — and they wonder why their feedback is always: “Be more specific.”

But a strong essay vocabulary isn’t about using bigger words.
It’s about using the right ones, in the right way.

Power Words help students:

  • Write with purpose

  • Sound more academic (without sounding forced)

  • Explain complex ideas with clarity

This is the tool most teachers wish their students had from Day 1.
