Homework
1 hour per week. After 1-on-1 sessions, I will assign homework related to the concepts covered within class. The aim of this is to reinforce the knowledge and get more practice putting together the skills and strategies we reviewed. This type of homework will include an answer key or notes and possibly answer explanations. Student should complete assigned work and check it themselves in an attempt to understand the content on their own but then should come back to sessions with any further questions they may have. This will provide the most efficient use of their time within sessions.Assessment
Teacher will continually assess the student throughout 1-on-1 sessions. This may take the form of a formal, proctored assessment such as a quiz or exam or more informal evaluation throughout sessions. This is not a requirement but may be necessary to identify any gaps in knowledge or areas for improvement, especially when it comes to test prep.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
Beginner - Advanced Level
Welcome to our 1-on-1 tutoring sessions for Language Arts and Writing students in grades 5 - 12. In these 1-on-1 sessions, we offer supplemental ELA instruction, whether your student needs to improve their reading comprehension, grammar, or writing. In this class, students will go over any work or concepts with a skilled tutor who will assess their current knowledge, identify areas for improvement, and provide instruction in order to help students improve their understanding of the English language. Some of the most popular topics within these subjects I tutor include: Subject-verb agreement Tenses Phrases and clauses Pronouns and antecedents Sentence fragments Noun-adjective agreement Punctuation rules Finding the main idea of a passage Finding the purpose of a passage Finding the tone of a passage Writing a thesis statement Writing a 5-paragraph essay Organizing thoughts for writing an essay Writing argumentative, informative, narrative, and response essays Vocabulary Analyzing texts Personalized Instruction: Is in-class instruction or group instruction not working as well for your student? With one-on-one lessons, students get the full attention of the teacher, the ability to ask all the questions they may have privately, and get to move through content at their pace. Lessons can be structured to help students with whatever material they need to focus on, moving as fast or as slow as need be. Comprehensive Subject Knowledge: Get help from tutors who have a deep understanding of the English language. Our tutors can not only teach students the basic rules but also show them how it works in text and writing to improve their understanding of the content they read. Level Up Reading Skills: In sessions, students will be exposed to a variety of reading material such as stories, news articles, essays, and more. They will learn what to expect in each type of passage and identify key details, ideas, structure, and more of these passages. Is tutoring only for struggling students? Not at all! Students of all ages and ability levels engage with tutors all the time. Whether you need help brushing up on a few concepts, need to catch up in school, or are working ahead on advanced content, a tutor can be a great resource in your life.
Learning Goals
Students will gain a deeper understanding of fundamental grammar concepts, improve their reading comprehension skills, and work on improving their writing. Students will get caught up with any assignments or requirements they may have and work towards mastery of these concepts.
Other Details
