What We Teach
Whether your student is learning basic grammar or preparing a college-level research paper, our tutors meet them where they are, and help them grow from there. Here are the key writing skills we support through personalized, one-on-one tutoring:
Early Writing Readiness
For our youngest learners, we focus on pencil grip, letter formation, writing their name, and understanding that letters make words. We introduce writing as a fun, foundational skill through tracing, drawing, and guided practice.
Grammar & Mechanics
We teach students how to use correct punctuation, avoid common grammar mistakes, and build strong, clear sentences. Lessons include subject-verb agreement, run-on correction, verb tense, and proper capitalization.
Paragraph & Essay Writing
Students learn how to plan, write, and revise paragraphs and essays. We cover brainstorming, topic sentences, transitions, thesis statements, supporting details, and conclusion strategies.
Research Papers
We walk students through selecting a topic, researching sources, creating outlines, drafting sections, and using MLA or APA citation styles. Ideal for middle school, high school, and college prep.
Creative Writing
We help students write stories, poems, and personal narratives. Lessons include plot development, character creation, setting, tone, and editing their creative work for clarity and impact.
Writing for Standardized Tests
Our tutors prepare students for the writing portions of exams like the ACT, SAT, PSAT, ISEE, and SSAT. We focus on timed writing strategies, essay structure, clear argumentation, and score-boosting tips.
Elementary Writing Fundamentals
We support young learners in building foundational skills like spelling, sentence formation, and idea expression in age-appropriate ways.
High School & College Prep Writing
Students get help writing book reports, literary analysis essays, and college application essays. We also provide support for advanced coursework writing, with attention to clarity, argument development, and academic tone.
How to Enroll in Our Writing Skills Tutoring Classes
We take a hands-on, personalized approach to help your student become a more confident and capable writer. Here’s exactly what you can expect:
We Start With a One-on-One Consultation
We begin by speaking directly with you, either over the phone or in person. During this conversation, we learn about your student’s writing challenges, school progress, grade level, and any specific needs like ADHD, dyslexia, or IEP goals.
Personalized Tutor Matching
We carefully match your student with a writing tutor who fits their academic needs and personality. Whether your child is just learning sentence basics or tackling college-level essays, we pair them with the right expert.
We Create a Custom Learning Plan
The tutor creates a personalized plan based on your child’s current skills, recent writing samples (if available), and school assignments. The plan includes specific writing goals, like grammar mastery, essay structure, or research paper development, and outlines how we’ll track progress.
