I prefer to test mastery of material via a role reversal in which I see if the student can teach me how to correctly solve problems and arrive at the correct answers. In my opinion, there is no better way to assess the depth and breadth of one's knowledge than to try to convey it to others. The study habits I hope to pass on to my students are ones...

Composition Tutoring FAQ
Composition is a subset of the English subject area that many students focus on during high school. This could be as part of a broader class, such as English, or as a class of its own. Students who study composition spend time focusing on things like:
Picking a compelling topic to write about
Organizing the structure of a piece of writing
Grammar and spelling
How to alter your writing to fit the requirements of different types of writing
If you're currently taking a composition class, then you may be interested in getting additional assistance with your coursework. One of the best ways to do this is to sign up to work with a composition tutor. You can contact Varsity Tutors to find out more about the composition tutoring options that are available to you.
Working with a composition tutor gives students a chance to meet regularly with an expert on English composition. Composition tutoring differs from learning in a traditional classroom setting in that your tutor can create a customized lesson plan based on your unique needs whereas a teacher has to instruct a group of students in a more generalized way. Your tutor can take things like your existing skill level, goals, and learning style into account to create a learning environment that works for you. They can also use various instructional mediums and methodologies to ensure that each tutoring session with them is engaging and informative. These are just a few of the reasons why high school composition tutoring could be just what you need to reach your goals with the subject area.
You may have already spent time online searching for things like "composition tutoring near me". However, you may be worried about how you would fit composition tutoring into your schedule.
