I do not have a general method for tutoring, it is always on an individual basis for who I am working with at the time.

Luton 12th Grade Writing Tutoring FAQ
By the end of high school, you have acquired many skills. After all these years of schooling, you are a far cry from the days when you were first learning to add single-digit numbers, use grammar properly, and write sentences consisting merely of subjects, verbs, and direct objects. However, you must not allow yourself to become complacent or to think that there is no work left to be done. Soon, college will be here, and you will be writing papers that are far more complex than those you have written before. Instead of allowing yourself to drift along without any guidance, contact Varsity Tutors. We can help you connect with a 12th-grade writing tutor to further sharpen your compositional abilities.
As you prepare for college-level coursework and entry into the workforce, it is critical that you not overlook the necessity of logical, well-formed expression in your writing. No matter what you choose as your undergraduate major or career path, you will be required to write papers of various genres in your future endeavors. Even science classes in university will require you to create well-crafted reports for your lab courses. In all of these cases, it will be assumed that you are able to express yourself clearly. Your professors and employers will expect you to have a decent grasp on writing conventions. Professors will look for well-reasoned arguments that engage with the subject material covered in your course, while potential employers look for concise and efficient expression in your resume and cover letter. Twelfth-grade writing tutoring can help you make your writing a transparent medium through which the light of your ideas can shine. This will help you to do well academically and to set you on a course toward the career of your dreams.
During these last months of high school, your writing assignments will be more difficult than in previous years. A tutor can help you sharpen your drafts quickly and with a keen sense of your teacher's expectations. Also, as you are composing essays for college applications, it is helpful to have a talented tutor evaluate your self-expression, verifying that you are, in fact, presenting the strongest case for your admission to your top schools. Connecting with a highly skilled and experienced tutor through Varsity Tutors is very convenient. Whether you want to meet your tutor at your house, at your favorite restaurant, in a local park, at a public library, or online, your private tutor will be there for you. Our live learning platform even enables you to meet with your private tutor face-to-face online. This gives you the flexibility to meet with your tutor at the location of your choice.
Depending on which career path you decide to embark on, you may find yourself needing to write in many different styles. Many students have difficulty transitioning between multiple styles. An experienced tutor can help you make sure that whether you are asked to write an opinion piece, an academic journal article, a blog post, or a journalistic article, you are prepared to do well on any writing assignment your professors might send your way.
All of these matters are far too important for you to leave them up to chance. Do not underplay the importance of strong communication skills in writing and overcoming the many difficulties involved in improving it. As you prepare for the next stage in your academic and professional life, get the personalized attention that you deserve. Contact Varsity Tutors today and let us help you connect with a tutor who can craft the perfect plan for your 12th-grade writing tutoring experience.

In this session, the student and I first went over the structure of the online class he would be needing help with.

Lastly, we practiced writing outlines for papers, and applied it directly to a short answer question in his online class.
His analysis skills on passages are good.
We used a previous writing assignment to write a new paper. We spent time brainstorming arguments for the topic and developing these arguments. We also started to work on the introduction for the paper and the thesis statement. We will continue working on this paper next week. I also told the student that I will look for writing topics for college freshman writing classes so that we can use them to develop more papers.
