Frequently Asked Questions
Grammar refers to the rules governing how words and sentences are structured—things like subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and sentence fragments. Mechanics covers the technical aspects of writing like punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. Both are essential for clear communication, and personalized tutoring can help students master both areas through targeted practice and feedback on their own writing.
Students often struggle with comma usage, run-on sentences, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and misplaced modifiers. Many also mix up commonly confused words like "their/there/they're" or "its/it's." Expert tutors can identify your specific weak areas and provide personalized instruction to address them, turning repeated mistakes into solid understanding through focused practice and real-time feedback.
Solid grammar and mechanics are the foundation of effective writing—they ensure your ideas are clear and your message reaches readers without distraction. When grammar is correct, readers focus on your content and argument rather than being confused by errors. Personalized tutoring helps students develop both technical correctness and writing confidence, so they can express their ideas powerfully in essays, reports, and creative writing.
Tutors provide personalized feedback on your drafts, identifying grammar and mechanics issues while also helping you strengthen organization, clarity, and voice. Rather than just marking errors, they explain why something is incorrect and show you how to fix it—helping you develop proofreading skills you can use independently. This guided revision process transforms writing from a frustrating task into a skill you actively improve with each draft.
Standardized tests like the SAT and ACT include grammar and mechanics sections that test your understanding of sentence structure, punctuation, and word choice. Expert tutors can teach you the specific rules and strategies these tests focus on, plus help you practice with real test questions. With targeted preparation, students build both knowledge and test-taking confidence for these critical assessments.
In your first session, a tutor will assess your current strengths and challenges—often by reviewing a writing sample or discussing grammar concepts you find confusing. They'll ask about your goals, whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or becoming a more confident writer. From there, they'll create a personalized plan focused on the specific areas where you need the most support.

You can schedule personalized 1-on-1 instruction that fits your schedule and learning style.

Grammar and mechanics are the technical rules of writing, while style and voice are about how you express your unique perspective and personality in your writing. They work together—strong grammar creates a clear foundation, while developing your voice makes your writing engaging and authentic. Expert tutors help with both, teaching you to write correctly while also helping you discover and strengthen your individual writing voice.
