TUTORING TOPICS

~ SAT English (literature) prep / ACT English, reading, and writing prep
Practice & coaching: reading and interpreting literary texts; making decisions to revise and edit text; reason logically about texts using evidence and integrating information from multiple sources;
and choosing one of three writing prompts that describes a complex issue,
​each providing a different perspectives on said issue.

​
~ Writing and Reading Comprehension Across Subjects
Excellent writing skills in math, science, social studies, and the arts shows a student’s
critical thinking skills and mastery of the subject. Writing in every subject assists with
cognitive retention and retrieval of information for exams, group projects, and independent work.


~ The Argumentative Essay
This type of essay requires the student to investigate the subject matter;
collect, generate, and evaluate evidence; and establish a stance on the topic. 


~ The Persuasive Essay
The purpose of a persuasive essay is to persuade or convince. With this kind of writing, you choose an argument, and then convince your readers using details and examples.  A key element in this type of writing is to bring in different forms of rhetoric such as ethos, pathos and logos.

~ The Expository Essay
This type of essay requires the student to investigate an idea, evaluate evidence, expound on the idea, and set forth an argument concerning that idea in a clear and concise manner. This can be accomplished through comparison and contrast, definition, example,  and the analysis of cause and effect.

~ The Narrative Essay
Think of this essay as telling a story. This type of essay is often anecdotal, experiential, and personal
which allows students to express themselves in a creative and, quite often, moving way.


~ The Descriptive Essay
This type of essay requires the writer to describe something such as a place, a person, an experience,
a situation, an object, etc.
Compelling language is a must: stallion instead of horse, tempestuous instead of violent, and miserly instead of cheap. The more vivid the word, the more accurate the description.

~ The Rhetorical Analysis Essay
Rhetoric is the study of how writers and speakers use words to influence. A rhetorical analysis essay breaks down someone else’s (the rhetorician’s) work of non-fiction into parts and then explains how the parts worked together to create the writer’s perspective, which can be to persuade, entertain, or inform.
