Oakland Writing Tutoring FAQ
Writing is a skill that can help you in many areas in school and beyond. This is not something that one is born with; it takes a lot of time and effort to come close to understanding it. Some may even argue that writing is a lifelong learning process. Writing is an important part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASP) so you need to have a good grasp of it. There's plenty of help out there. Varsity Tutors will match you with a writing tutor in Oakland, California, who will motivate you to reach beyond your goals in writing.
There are four types of writing to learn: expository, persuasive, descriptive, and narrative. Expository writing explains things. Persuasive writing tries to get people to see things a certain way. Descriptive writing hones in on the characteristics of a person or thing. Narrative writing tells a story. Writing is also used in a lot of different careers including journalism, book writing, grant writing, and copywriting. There's a good amount of money to be made in some writing fields. Let us find you a tutor in Oakland, CA, who will strive to ensure you understand writing by keeping you actively engaged in the educational process.
There is an incredible amount of writing books on the market. While each book can have some helpful advice, it can all seem to blend in together. Also, the authors can't offer you any feedback on your own writing. Writing groups can be great but they can also be tedious since you have to sit and listen to other people's work. Once the others read your work, group input can both be valuable and also conflicting. One person may suggest one thing while someone else may say something that contradicts what the first person said. Instead, sitting with a tutor in a relaxed environment free of distractions can help your writing tremendously. Feedback will be instantaneous and your tutor will know the CAASPP inside out and help you tailor your writing towards the exam as well. Our educational directors can help you locate an independent tutor in Oakland who is skilled at helping students prepare for writing.
Setting up tutoring sessions is really easy. Your tutor will meet at any location, including a library, a diner, a coffee shop, and your own house. Meeting times are flexible too since your convenience is very important. There are also options for face-to-face online sessions if you prefer to use the computer.
You don't have to be intimidated by the writing process. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are skilled at helping students in Oakland connect with writing tutors.
