WRITING TUTORING
To be successful in school and beyond, all students need to have adequate skills for written expression. In addition, standardized tests such as the NJ ASK, SAT, and ACT require students to demonstrate writing proficiency. At the Center, a comprehensive writing program is designed to meet each student's individual needs. Writing help involves teaching students the writing process, from generating and organizing ideas, to writing the first draft, to revising and editing the final copy. Our writing tutors are certified, experienced teachers who can help students with both creative as well as expository essay writing. The writing tutoring program can include:
- Sentence & Paragraph Structure
- Writing Essays (Narrative, Expository, Persuasive)
- Grammar, Writing Mechanics, Language Usage
- Editing Skills
- Spelling and Vocabulary Instruction
We also offer high school students help with writing their college application essays, and younger students can receive help with letter formation and penmanship.
Spelling instruction is approached phonetically, focusing on the structural principles of words most needed in writing. The instruction is systematic and direct, with attention also given to high frequency words that do not follow specific patterns.
