Writing Tutoring at Suprex Learning

Writing is as critical a component as reading, speaking, and even math. It will impact how your student will perform in high school, in college, and even in the workforce. So, it is important for your child to have a strong writing foundation in order to maintain the highest grades in other subjects. Writing Tutoring at Suprex Learning can help. Our Writing Tutoring services can assist students with brainstorming and revising coursework essays, as well as help develop voice in writing.

It may seem incongruous, but writing truly is an essential element in every subject; it is how we communicate with our peers and our instructors – how we convey mastery of any given subject. Writing Tutoring at Suprex Learning covers many different types of writing, including:

• Descriptive Writing

• What is it?

Descriptive writing that captures an idea, a person, a place or a thing. It provides the readers with important details about what or who it is and why it/they are important.

• How to improve it?

Improving descriptive writing is, perhaps, more simple than other types of writing. Talking out loud about the item/person/idea being described to someone who does not know anything about it is usually a good way to judge the quality and amount of information provided.

• Why improve it?

Descriptive writing is one of the most fundamental types of writing. It is used to talk about events in a story, the procedure of an experiment, and ideas about any given topic. Improving your child’s descriptive writing skills will improve their ability to communicate their thoughts to teachers, prospective employers and to college admissions administrators.

• Narrative Writing

• What is it?

Narrative writing is the writing of storytelling. It usually takes more time to improve and is much more closely associated with the writer. Each person’s voice is different and narrative writing is their best opportunity to show off that voice. However, storytelling is not just for fiction. To be persuasive, one must craft a tale – a reason for the audience to rally support and sympathy. To keep analytical writing from becoming too boring to bear, narrative writing can help turn cold science into a quest for answers, a journey.

• How to improve it?

Practice, practice, practice. It takes time and lots of practice for writers to find their voice. What our tutors can do to speed up this process is provide writing exercises that focus on concision, details and flow, as well as an experienced opinion on the areas in which your student is strongest and weakest.

• Why improve it

Simply put, improving your child’s narrative writing will make everything they write more reader friendly. It could be said that every communication is a story and the skill with which that story is told can make all the difference in how it is received.

• Persuasive Writing

• What is it?

Many types of writing work in tandem to produce persuasive writing. The ultimate goal of persuasive writing is to convince the reader to accept your argument. An obvious example of persuasive writing might be a political speech – the candidate wants to gain the trust and support of the audience so that they will vote for them when the election comes.

• How to improve it?

Suprex writing tutors will help your student improve their persuasive writing by studying the construct of a good argument and learning the powers of ethos, logos and pathos. These two are the most fundamental lessons for improving persuasive writing. Exercises in identifying flaws in logic as well as in finding a plausible way to fix flawed logic will strengthen your child’s understanding of how an argument works, and what makes for a strong one.

• Why improve it?

Most timed writing on standardized tests like the SAT or English AP test will be expecting a persuasive, well organized essay. Writing is a fact of life, it is how we communicate and second to getting the point across, swaying the audience to favor one side over another is a paramount skill. Rhetoric can be found in disciplines throughout the Liberal Arts and does play a smaller, but no less important role in the sciences and engineering.

• Expository Writing

• What is it?

Expository writing is what you usually find in a newspaper or news magazine and combines elements from both narrative writing and descriptive writing.

• How to improve it?

Working on the fundamentals of the English language are essential to improving expository writing because its main point is to explain an event quickly, cleanly and concisely.

• Why improve it?

Strengthening your expository writing will in turn strengthen all other types of writing. Because good grammar, varied sentence structure and strong transitions make it easier for readers to follow the story.

• Creative Writing

• What is it?

Aside from being an essential form of communication, writing is also used as a creative outlet. Fiction and poetry date back to the earliest days of written language.

• How to improve it?

Again, practice, practice, practice. Just as we practice speaking the English language every day, writing needs the same attention. Even little 50 word quick writes and journaling will help improve your child’s writing skills and build confidence in expressing themselves through the written word.

• Why improve it?

It may seem odd to tutor something like creative writing, but then other creative outlets have teachers and lessons, for example music or art. Writing is not any different, there are fundamentals that can be taught, but a guiding hand is still needed to expand, strengthen and improve.
