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

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.
