Students will be taught important skills that help them not only in their English class, covering both reading and writing skills, but topics and ideas that will undoubtedly help their communication and writing skills in general, helping them in other core classes that incorporate free response, in essays used for both college applications, and/or also on other major tests such as the SAT and ACT.

This class will be structured as a private and/or small group tutoring class to students who I have taught before wanting more individualized support as well as new students who want to work more independently. Although the class is on-going, students can schedule just one session and then unenroll, or continue week by week as they see fit in their learning needs. 

Some weekly structures that I will offer when students schedule:

Week 1: Essay Writing (Grammar, Punctuation, and Writing Analysis) [Week of 1/25/21]

Week 2: Essay Writing Continued (Format, Structure, Areas of Weakness, Strength, and Growth) [Week of 2/1/21]

Week 3: Literature Analysis (Close Reading, Text Interpretation, and Responding to Prompts) [Week of 2/8/21]

Week 4: Essay Advice, Personal Statements, and Application Tips (Bringing the Essay to Life) [Week of 2/15/21]

Continued... (and modified based on individual student learning requests / needs).
