Aurora CLEP College Composition Modular Tutoring FAQ
Few talents are more important than the ability to express yourself in a clear and concise manner in the English language. As you prepare for college, the continued development of your rhetorical and compositional skills is a critical aspect of the foundational work that must be done to help ensure your future success in postsecondary education. Throughout all of your academic disciplines and pursuits, from lab reports to philosophy term papers, you will be required to express yourself in a coherent manner. Your CLEP College Composition Modular exam will help to provide a metric for your college admissions and guidance offices to evaluate the many hours you have spent developing your writing skills. Do not risk performing anything less than superlatively on this important exam.
Contact Varsity Tutors today and let us help you connect with a CLEP College Composition Modular tutor. The modular compositional exam allows your particular college to exercise more control over the testing and assessment process, helping them to focus directly on the skills that they are looking for in prospective students. Therefore, it is critical that you develop a focused set of compositional skills and are able to evaluate other author's works as well as communicate your own arguments in concise and convincing prose when you are faced with the CLEP exam.
What better method to prepare and hone such skills than to work with a personal tutor who can critique your writing and suggest means to ameliorate your weaknesses in style and expression? The secret to good writing is the devotion of adequate, focused time to careful, planned rewriting. However, the ability to identify weaknesses in your own compositions and essays is often not intuitive and must be learned. A personal tutor can help you become attuned to your own strengths and deficiencies in written expression, giving you the tools that you need to approach the editing process with insight. It is easy to overlook mistakes in your own writing. It is always a good idea to have someone look over your writing to make sure that you haven't made mistakes. A private tutor is extremely helpful in this regard because they can spend as much time with you as you need to work through any issues you might have with your writing.
Rarely can a teacher in a classroom devote adequate attention to each and every student's writing. The personal attention you receive during CLEP College Composition Modular tutoring can allow you to receive the detailed type of evaluation that directly addresses your writing in a thoughtful and constructive way. Your teacher may be able to tell you where your problem areas are, but they really don't have the time to help you work through them. A private tutor can walk you through every step of the writing process and make sure that you have mastered each section.
With such help, you can gain skills in writing, editing, and the general compositional evaluation that will be tested on your CLEP examination. Given the importance of writing for your future academic studies, you cannot afford to avoid developing your compositional skills to their maximum.
Varsity Tutors' live learning platform enables you to meet with your private tutor either in person or face-to-face online. This gives you the flexibility and freedom to choose a time and location that works best for you. So whether you prefer studying at home, at the local library, at a favorite restaurant or coffee shop, or outside in a park, your private tutor can meet you there.

Recent Aurora CLEP College Composition Modular Tutoring Session Notes
Used the new book to practice a fresh set of synonyms and analogies. The student's vocabulary is continually improving because he has a good memory and recalls nearly all of the words we've studied earlier this summer. Once again, I tried to stop him from over-analyzing the components of words. Overall, everything is going well. He's comfortable working with me, he's retaining the concepts and strategies, and he's showing a positive attitude.
During this session, we did one section of math and one section of writing. The student is incredibly bright and talented and is really eager to improve. Her math acumen is remarkable. There are not many (if any)problems that she fails to grasp, so it is nice to be able to teach some strategies to go along with her abilities. She is also very good at learning the strategic aspects of the verbal section. She has already improved immensely since we began, and I expect it to continue.
We started by checking the math problems the student completed for homework, which she got all correct. Then we spent some time focusing on scrambled paragraphs. She is excellent at identifying the first sentence in the order, but sometimes has a bit of trouble after that. We practiced them for the rest of our session.
Started by setting SAT score goals: around 90pts improvement in each of the three sections, and continued and ended by running through sentence completion and passage reading practice problems. Will likely start on writing and Math next session.
Reviewed strategies for annotating reading comprehension passages and 5 question types in the reading comprehension section per the prep book. Practiced several passages and strategies for each question type. Assigned practice reading comp section in the prep guide as homework.
Today the student and I went through the entire last "chapter" of math, which is trigonometry. She has never seen this before, so it is a place she can absolutely improve her score with. She is taking very well to the subject.
