Hamilton High School English Tutoring FAQ
High school English may not always be the most interesting class on a student's schedule, but it is among the most important. If you or your child seem to be falling behind your peers in this area, Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a quality high school English tutor who can work on your schedule.
Here are some of the most important topics commonly studied during high school English tutoring sessions:
Reading Comprehension
Literary Analysis
Writing skills
English grammar
You may think that reading comprehension and literary analysis are effectively the same thing, but they're not. Reading comprehension is the ability to understand what you read and recall it later. This is the skill you need when trying to retain information from an assigned reading, and it may be reinforced by jotting down a few notes as you go along. In contrast, literary analysis is going beyond what is literally printed on the page to answer outside questions. Why did the author write this? What techniques are they using to get their point across? This is what your teacher is generally looking for when discussing a novel in class.
High school English tutoring can teach analysis in several ways. If you are a visual learner, your tutor may create flashcards detailing literary techniques such as alliteration and allegory to make them easier to study. Alternatively, an auditory learner could learn the same information by listening to podcasts discussing several popular books.
A high school English tutor can also help improve your composition skills. Structure is an underrated part of writing an essay, so working off of a well-structured outline can improve your work considerably. If your essay is about literary analysis, having all of the information you need in front of you also makes it less likely that you'll forget something you originally meant to include.
Furthermore, high school English tutoring can help you prepare for several standardized exams. Both the SAT and ACT include vocabulary and reading comprehension questions, making English skills a substantial portion of your grade. Likewise, national Common Core standards require students to pass a test on Literature and Composition to graduate high school. Your tutor may administer practice tests to give you a feel for exactly what you need to know as well as a sense for how much time you'll have to demonstrate it.
