Why Enhanced Prep?
Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school. Nowadays, it takes more than a single strong test score to get into college. Students have got to have the grades and the test scores and then some. At Enhanced Prep, we provide a truly customizable approach to tutoring, focusing on each student's specific needs. We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.

Writing Tutors from Enhanced Prep
If you want a professional writing tutor, consider choosing Enhanced Prep. Our tutors have an average of 8 years of experience and have helped tens of thousands of students across 22 countries. Writing progress can’t always be measured in the same ways as other subjects; improving one’s writing abilities isn’t exactly like getting the correct answer on a math problem. Understanding grammar and spelling is one thing, but the process of learning how to communicate effectively through words is as unique as each student. That’s why our tutors create a unique game plan for each student and value their input to ensure their experience is as positive as possible. Because of this, students look forward to their next tutoring appointment, which is a regular occurrence at Enhanced Prep.
Why Use Enhanced Prep for Writing Tutoring?
Tutoring through Enhanced Prep is about more than just getting good grades. Enhanced Prep brings students, parents, tutors, and advisors together to build student morale through the entire process, from grades, to test scores, to pressing submit on their application. We believe that everyone invested in a student’s success understands what the student needs to be successful.
This is why our tutors adopt a three-pillar approach with a game plan, content, and strategy. First, our tutors work with each student to figure out a game plan that addresses their most immediate needs. Then, they identify the content that will be most crucial for their students to master. Finally, they determine what strategies will work best for them to maximize their chances of getting into their dream school. Whether a student needs writing help for a class, a test, a college entrance essay, or another reason, Enhanced Prep has the tools they need.
What Is Writing?
Writing is the process of communicating ideas to an audience through words. The purposes of writing vary, but they generally fall under the desire to persuade, entertain, or inform. For example, novelists write books to entertain, journalists write news articles to inform, and advertising agencies write ads to persuade people to buy a product or service. Students learn the basics of writing as early as kindergarten, starting with spelling and grammar, before working towards more complex concepts, such as crafting an essay. Writing plays an important part in a student’s education, which is why Enhanced Prep’s writing tutors can provide expert services to help them with test scores, grades, and the overall college application process.
Writing Help for Common Courses
Each state in the US sets its own educational standards for writing, but in general, students start learning how to write in kindergarten, beginning with exercises such as explaining what a book is about. As they progress in their education, the writing goals and exercises get more complicated. Students may write about an event they remember, create their own short stories, write their own opinions on a book, or write informative or persuasive essays. Writing curriculum is usually included in an English Language Arts class, but students may take a composition course in high school or college. More specific writing courses are usually available in college.
AP English Language and Composition
Students can take an AP English language and composition course in high school, but the course is considered a college equivalent. In addition to reading and analyzing different types of writing, students learn how to write arguments based on evidence, create and revise drafts, and how to appeal to specific audiences.
Intro to Creative Writing
Students can take introductory creative writing courses in college, though they should already be familiar with it by high school. Creative writing courses allow students to focus on honing their writing skills in areas such as fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction. Reading and analyzing important poetry and literary works is also a fundamental part of these courses.
Intro to Screenwriting
Screenwriting is exactly what it sounds like; writing words for the screen, such as films and television shows. Students can take introductory screenwriting courses in college, where they can learn how to craft an original screenplay, from concept to outline to finished product. Topics explored include story structure, dialogue, characters, and drafting; students may also have weekly reading assignments and critique their classmates’ work.
Online Writing Tutors for Test Prep
Writing skills play a major part in several important exams that students will most likely come across, such as the essay portions of the SAT and ACT. Even if students are not asked to write specifically for a test, their writing skills may be tested through multiple-choice questions on grammar, spelling, or other related topics. Students who are taking an important exam may feel stressed about their ability to pass. Enhanced Prep’s tutors can come up with test-taking strategies to help students refresh their knowledge of writing concepts and feel confident in their abilities on test day.
AP English Language and Composition Exam
High school students who take the AP English Language and Composition course must take the accompanying exam at the end in order to gain college credit. The exam covers topics learned in the course. Students are tested on their ability to analyze texts and improve the writing of said texts. They will also have to write 3 long-response answers where they must demonstrate their ability to craft evidence-based arguments.
ACT Writing Test
Students who take the ACT have the option of taking the writing portion of the test. This portion of the exam asks students to write an essay giving their perspective on a complex issue. This tests their ability to write with a clear, concise voice with little to no grammar or spelling issues.
SAT Writing and Language Test
The SAT Writing and Language Test does not involve any actual writing, yet it still tests students on their writing abilities by having them read passages and answer questions regarding mistakes and weaknesses in said passages. These questions refer to grammar, spelling, punctuation, and the overall communication of ideas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an writing tutor do?
Writing tutors offer individualized instruction to students who need writing help. A student could need writing help for various reasons, such as writing book reports, remembering the rules of grammar and spelling, passing the essay portion of an important exam, or writing a personal statement for college applications. Enhanced Prep’s tutors create a game plan for every student to address their immediate needs and help them achieve their goals, whether it’s for a class or getting into their dream school.
How do I choose an writing tutor?
Every tutor knows the subject they teach; choosing a tutor is more about finding one who you click with and who meets your needs and schedule. This could mean searching for a tutor online so you can have comfortable at-home sessions or searching for a tutor who specializes in a specific writing skill, such as writing essays. Enhanced Prep’s tutors are prepared to give students a variety of services and do so with the student’s success and parents’ peace of mind at the top of their priorities.
Can an writing tutor help me pass my class?
Writing plays a huge role in any class you take; for example, you may need to write lab reports for science, a paper for history, or a book report for English. English classes in particular require strong writing skills, since students may complete several writing-based assignments. Knowing how to write these things well can help you pass your class, along with studying and doing well on homework and tests. But if you need extra help, Enhanced Prep can focus on your most immediate needs to help you achieve your goals.
How can an writing tutor help me study for a test?
Writing tutors can help you study for a test by addressing which areas you need the most work on and creating a study plan from there. For example, if you are great at communicating ideas in clear, effective ways but struggle with grammar, then a writing tutor would help you focus more on grammar since that’s the area you need the most work in. Crafting a unique game plan for each student is a core part of Enhanced Prep’s tutoring philosophy.
Can a tutor help me with writing homework?
If you need writing homework help, then an online writing tutor can give that to you. Writing tutors are trained to help you with whatever needs you have; if you need help on an essay for class, you’re having trouble understanding grammar, or another obstacle, getting a writing tutor to help you with your homework can boost your writing skills as well as your confidence in your ability to do your assignments. Enhanced Prep provides top-tier online writing homework help for those who need it.
