Recent ACT Writing Tutoring Session Notes

Online ACT Writing Tutoring review by Tarana
Today we focused on the test writing section. We went over the tips for success in the test book and went over the different types of questions he would see on the test and talked about which ones were the hardest for him (typically the questions that asked about the passage as a whole required more thought and time). We formulated strategies that would save time and allow him to work faster and efficiently. We did some timed sections and found that the student should practice more in order to work faster on the actual test. He missed a few questions here and there and we went over the logic behind his reasoning and why the correct answer was true. I feel the student has more confidence in himself in this section compared to the reading and science section.

Online ACT Writing Tutoring review by Joseph
The student did fairly well on his practice ACT Writing prompt; however, his essay was very repetitious, so we discussed ways to simplify his language. We then looked over another of the students essays for further practice, discussing grammatical rules and rhetorical strategies to strengthen his writing. I have assigned another practice Writing prompt for next time.

Online ACT Writing Tutoring review by Michele
The student and I reviewed complex and compound sentences. We then selected an ACT essay topic, and she worked on brainstorming, outlining, and writing the essay in a timed setting. We then reviewed her essay. She also followed the same process for an SAT essay. She needs to develop an example bank and a basic essay structure in advance. This is what we will continue working on.

Online ACT Writing Tutoring review by Suzanne
We finished going over structure and strategies for the writing section, and he wrote essays based on two sample prompts. At first, he had trouble staying within the time limit, but he was able to complete the second essay within a reasonable time frame.

Online ACT Writing Tutoring review by Ian
Started with a quick joint look at two sample ACT Reading passages, then conducted another timed mini-section. The student managed time well, with about 2 minutes to proofread, and turned in a perfect score. Reading comprehension is clearly not a problem here. We'll focus mostly on test familiarity and simple practice. We then discussed the Writing section. I walked him through a breakdown of what the essay graders look for, and what the essential elements to a strong written argument are. Concluded by writing a practice outline in response to a sample prompt. Our goal for the next meeting is to produce a complete prose essay in response to an ACT prompt. Very productive session.

Focused on the Writing portion of the test since it is the only section we have yet to cover. Also, graded some other practice problems that were worked on over the past week. Her abilities are much improved and things seem positive going into her test date on June 8.

What skills or content can I review with ACT Writing tutors to prepare for the Writing section of the ACT?

The ACT writing section is a 40-minute assessment that contains only one essay question. The question will provide you with a prompt that covers an issue and three varied perspectives about the issue. Your response must state your own perspective. You will also be required to analyze connections between your viewpoint and at least one of the three perspectives provided on the exam. This part of the ACT is your opportunity to showcase the writing skills you are expected to have learned throughout high school English and demonstrate your potential for success in entry-level college composition courses. Your instructor could help you work on drafting your response and organizing it to make sure your thoughts are clearly and coherently formulated. Since part of the essay requires you to analyze the connections between your viewpoint and the ones provided, you will also want to work on your analytical thinking skills and your ability to make comparisons between different ideas. If these are skills that you feel you need assistance with, your ACT Writing tutor can help you practice.

You will also need to demonstrate a solid grasp of spelling and grammar skills and be able to use tone and flow to make your essay easily understood. Your ACT Writing tutor can help you practice communicating your opinion in an effective manner using proper written English conventions. Part of the evaluation of the section of the exam includes your ability to support your argument with adequate evidence. To do this, you may need to be able to include citations from the reading prompt to support your point. As such, having good reading comprehension skills can be a huge advantage when you are attempting to perform well on this part of the ACT. With only 40 minutes to write your essay, you'll need to be able to quickly organize your ideas in a concise manner and communicate these efficiently and clearly. You'll also need to make sure to leave enough time to reread and edit your essay for clarity. Practicing the skills with an instructor can help you gain confidence in your ability to complete the Writing section in the allowed time.

ACT Writing tutors can have first-hand knowledge of the scoring scale used for the ACT Writing assessment. Your private instructor can sit down with you and discuss the scoring rubric so you know which skills you should work on. This will help you when you go to take the Writing section of the exam since you will know exactly what the scores are looking for. Your ACT Writing instructor will help you understand that the scoring for this part of the exam is based on your analytical skills as well as your overall writing abilities. You will want to approach your essay with these considerations in mind.

How is ACT Writing tutoring different than studying in other educational settings?

ACT Writing tutoring offers many benefits that you won't find any traditional classroom setting. In a typical educational environment, teachers must keep a large number of students in consideration when creating lesson plans. With private instruction, your teacher only has to focus on you and your particular needs. He or she has the time to get to know your particular educational strengths, the areas in which you need the most improvement, and your preferred learning method. This information can assist you or instructor in creating personalized lesson plans catered exactly to your educational needs. For example, if your instructor determined you are a visual learner, he or she can provide various videos or infographics to assist you in seeing the information in a new manner. If you turn out to be an auditory learner, your instructor may supplement lessons with an audiobook or podcast about ACT Writing or use a lecture style for study sessions. When you're able to learn using your preferred learning style, it makes learning easier and more enjoyable.

In addition to being able to cater your study sessions to fit within your preferred learning style, your instructor can also focus on the exact areas in which you need improvement. If you have already mastered the ability to use proper grammar and spelling, there is no need for your instructor to spend any time reviewing these skills. Instead, your teacher can assist you in practicing planning and writing before getting started pacing yourself properly in order to finish the essay on time. If you're struggling with a particular area, you can devote as many study sessions to working on it as necessary for you to feel confident in your abilities. This is not possible and a typical classroom setting. As you improve and advance in your writing skills, lesson plans can be adjusted so you can work on new areas or skills.

When you choose to allow Varsity Tutors to connect you with a teacher, we provide you with the option to meet with your instructor online or in person. If you decide to utilize our online option, you will be able to access your study sessions using our live learning platform. This platform brings your private instruction sessions to your favorite study spot as long as you have a computer and Wi-Fi. Utilizing the online option also increases the number of instructors we can look at as we try to find the right one to see your needs since you will not be limited to working with someone in your immediate area.

If you choose the in-person option, we will do everything in our power to set you up with an instructor who can fit it within your already established schedule. For example, if you spend your afternoon doing extracurricular activities or sporting events, you can schedule your study sessions with your instructor for the weekends.

No matter where you are in your ACT Writing review or which option you choose to utilize in order to meet with your instructor, we are available to support you as you work for your ACT Writing goals.
