What Makes My Virtual Tutoring Unique?

Skill Practice

In every session, we practice specific writing skills that will improve your writing ability in class, in college, and all other forms of communication. These skills align with common core standards.

​

Mini-lesson skills include:

  • Structuring essay and paragraph

  • Using the 5 senses when telling a story

  • Writing complex sentences

  • Utilizing quotations

  • Writing a strong thesis statement

Learning Strategies

Depending on your goals and learning style, we use the following strategies to improve your skills:

​

  • Modeling: We look at expert samples of our writing task, and I write with you, live, for you to see how a writer build and develops a draft.

  • Graphic organizers: Learning tools that help you visualize the skills we practice.

  • Brainstorming activities: Tables, bullet point lists, drawing and sketches, notebook writes, and more to generate the best ideas and plan out writing.

Let’s Work Together

Austin Rodriguez, Student

Tyler is very good at what he does and has helped me tremendously with my English sat. He seems to also care about you as a person and gets to actually know you. On top of that, he makes his tutoring entertaining, which I feel has helped me with my sat score!

Mandy Lai, Parent

Tyler is a great writing tutor! Not only does he possess excellent teaching skills, but he also has a unique and effective approach to sparking children's interest in writing. It's truly remarkable to witness the enthusiasm and excitement the children exhibit when it comes to writing, all thanks to his creative teaching methods.

George Gerakl, Student

He helped me a lot with the English part of the SAT. I've had a lot of tutors in my life, but he is the best one yet.
