How can a Writing tutor help you?
There are four different types of writing styles: expository, descriptive, persuasive, and narrative. Each of these four styles are unique and have their own distinctive way of approaching the readers and audience. Expository writing is meant to explain; descriptive writing is meant to describe; persuasive writing is meant to convince, and narrative writing is meant to tell a story. Like many people, you may be better in one style of writing than in another. If you do struggle in one or more styles of writing, you may want to consider contacting an individualized writing tutoring in Austin who might help you excel in your high school or college writing course.
To be a good writer, you must understand what goes into writing a good piece. Great spelling and punctuation is a must. However, a good writer also understands that active voice, introductions and conclusions, sequencing, and style also play a large part in whether or not a written piece is satisfactory or lacking. If you struggle understanding basic writing skills in any class you take that requires writing, call Varsity Tutors today to find writing tutors in Austin to potentially help you do well in the course.
