Tulsa County 10th Grade Writing Tutoring FAQ
Are you concerned about your tenth-grader's writing? It is not too late to strengthen the foundations that are necessary for your student to develop mature writing skills for the future. In tenth grade, your child will continue to apply his or her writing skills to a range of tasks and topics that grow increasingly difficult and involved. His or her literature classes will require a growing emphasis on analysis and insight, as well as the ability to coherently translate their ideas onto paper.
Likewise, in preparation for the ACT and/or SAT, it will be necessary for your child to develop a focused ability to argue consistently and logically in response to a provided prompt. Such skills frequently require further development and adjustment at this point in your child's studies. Instead of being distressed by such a need, let Varsity Tutors help you connect with the perfect tutor to help your child strengthen their writing skills and move on to future success.
It is very difficult to provide adequate feedback about a student's writing abilities in the context of a group class or in the limited time available during after-school tutoring programs. It takes a significant period of time for a tutor or teacher to read, critique, and develop feedback in response to a writing passage, even if it is only several pages long. This process requires one-on-one interaction and careful evaluation of all the details of your child's written work. A personal tutor is thus the best option for helping to improve your child's writing. Given the importance of standardized tests, as well as the admissions essays that your child may soon be writing for college, it is critical that you provide adequate support for his or her writing abilities.
The ability to effectively communicate is an important factor by which your child's intelligence and maturity will be measured by future colleges and employers. Many students will have high GPAs and be able students in quantitative and verbal reasoning. However, real distinctions emerge when administrators read an applicant's written words. Writing is such an important skill that not being able to write well can have an extremely negative impact on your child's future. Your child's writing ability will determine everything from whether they get into college to what college they can get into and the type of job they can obtain in the future.
Writing can be a long and arduous process. It is easy to get frustrated at any point along the way, but a private tutor can help encourage and guide them. So whether your child is struggling to start an essay, having difficulty developing the main body, or suffering through trying to write a conclusion, a private tutor can help them through every step of the way. We can help you connect with a tenth-grade writing tutor to help your child work on strengthening these skills, enabling him or her to not only succeed in his or her classes today but likewise lay firm foundations for later success.
Varsity Tutors allows you and your child to connect with a private tutor either in-person or face-to-face online. This provides the flexibility and freedom to pick a time and location that works best for you and your child. So whether your child feels most comfortable studying outside, in a library, at a local coffee shop, at your home, or online, a private tutor can meet them there. With many experienced tutors available to meet your needs, why hesitate to find the assistance that can lead your child to success both today and in the future? Call or email us today to connect with a tenth-grade writing tutor in your area.

Recent Tulsa County 10th Grade Writing Tutoring Session Notes
The student finished up his history paper over the week and turned that in yesterday. So today, we shifted our focus to preparing him to write his English paper. This paper is quite a bit shorter than the history paper, so he should be well prepared with the experience from the history paper under his belt. Again, today we worked on honing a thesis, crafting paragraphs, and shaping a coherent outline.
We talked about Oedipus, Frankenstein, and Macbeth. We covered themes from all three books that overlap in preparation for her final tomorrow, which will be an in-class essay. We also went over some literary terms and went through an essay that she wrote on Oedipus. She'll revise her Oedipus essay over the next two weeks and we'll go over it again next time.
The student and I worked together to create a study plan for his final exam. We reviewed previous exams and practice questions to identify major areas and content that he would need to be well-versed in, and then constructed several specific, hands-on activities for him to complete to ensure the best possible content retention. He has a good chance of doing well on the exam as long as he sticks to his study plan. Hopefully he will take advantage of the exercises in order to prepare himself.
We gave some special attention to timed writing strategies as well.
I helped the student with grammar and sentence construction for her history essay. We reviewed it together and overall she did great putting together the concepts to address her teacher's comments in rewriting.
In our most recent session, the pupil and I worked on her poetry portfolio -- an ongoing English project. In class, the students have been reading a wide selection of poets and were then asked to emulate the stylistic tropes of their favorites. The student, who enjoyed reading Shakespearean sonnets, was striving to write a few of her poems in iambic pentameter. For her main poem, she has been drawing upon her private life and was writing about a recent personal loss. We discussed the delicate balance between writing from the heart and producing material that was appropriate for class. I was impressed by the depth and honesty of her writing. She has a knack for working with words, particularly in exercises that are more creatively inclined. I have enjoyed watching her finesse her writing style and vocabulary over the course of this year.
We reviewed the student's upcoming grammar test by going over and practicing the gamut of grammar rules, including types of words, subject/predicate/objects, verbs, punctuation, independent vs. dependent sentences, types of clauses, and more. We also discussed creating a thesis for his in-class essay, and finding structure for a compare/contrast essay.
