Hey there! First let me compliment you on your willingness to help your students with something not review related. Victoria would be so pleased as this is exactly what she envisioned for the mentor program.
The way that the SexIs editing team works is fully explained in the SexIs forum in the post My SexIs Articles Are Being Returned As Unacceptable.
We actually DO have a program in place to help community members who wish to write for SexIs but don't feel they have the skills necessary. It's called Eden Lit!
Check out the #Eden Lit Lessons on the Eden Lit Forum for some fun, short and informative lessons in grammar and a whole bunch of other topics.
If the SexIs editing team comes across an article that is good but just needs some work they contact me, personally, in an email (airenwolf at yahoo.com) to ask if I can help the author. Since some of my former "students" have gone on to win prizes and extra points for their articles I can vouch for the system working.
If you feel you may need some help, support or just someone to look over your work give me a yell and I can set you up with a buddy or help you myself.

I am not talking about the actual writing skills, vocabulary, grammar, etc. I do think it is good of your club to provide lessons that will improve and add to the usage of correct grammar, spelling and vocabulary skills of other writers.
Specifically, I am referring to our newer members who have absolutely no idea how the submission process works, where to find & how to use the submission wizard, where to find the Guidelines and Rules, location of the monthly topics, how to contact Rayne with questions, picture details, what is and is not allowed in articles and the other very important details you need to know PRIOR to even thinking of writing an article.
Congrats on teaching and helping your students to become prize winners!! That is a great reflection of your teaching.
I remember winning the Community Vote on the first contest and that was an amazing honor!! That and my articles are the primary reasons I have been asked to help them get started.
Thank you so much for the compliment! It is appreciated and I have always enjoyed helping other members with anything they need or questions they may have about the site. I usually do it off site, but when it is a current student I am helping, it becomes part of my mentoring classes along with learning the programs and other aspects of the site. It is good to know they have you for a mentor and that suggesting a mentor program would be overkill. Thanks also for the info--the post will also help spread the word!!
