Much of the composition that your child has done before high school has been limited to short passages that generally test the grammatical concepts that he or she is learning at a given time. With high school writing, however, it becomes increasingly necessary to focus on your child's logical and rhetorical skills in order to help him or her craft persuasive and cohesive arguments in writing. This transition can be very difficult for many students, but it is critical to your child's future that he or she learns to communicate well in this manner. While many students benefit from a classroom-based education, there are a number who require different learning approaches in order to make sense of various concepts. Failing to understand these concepts can cause students to become frustrated, confused, and disenchanted with the learning experience as a whole. If your child is someone who is struggling with writing, working under the guidance of a private writing tutor could be just what they need to build up their proficiency as well as their confidence.
By contacting Varsity Tutors, you can receive help finding a tutor in your area who is qualified to teach ninth-grade writing.
