With essay writing help learn how to:
• Analyze a topic assignment or writing task.
• Understand the difference between IB essay writing for something like the Extended Essay or TOK from an Internal or External Assessment (Paper 1, 2 or 3), or from an AP, A Level, or GCSE essay.
• Double check to make sure everything is addressed and done well along the way, assuming a rubric is provided. Do this and again at the end of essay writing.
• Understand if the assignment encourages creative expression or if the task is a strict academic form of writing.
• Brainstorm an approach and identify relevant evidence.
• Conduct further research to better understand the topic from various angles.
• Read and annotate relevant sources to later cite.
• Outline ideas and develop an original argument.
• Draw logical relationships between points and conclusions.
• Draft paragraphs, transitions and substantiate claims, address counterclaims and apply proper citing.
• For persuasive paragraphs use PEEL (Point, Evidence, Explain, Link,) paragraph techniques, among other helpful methods.
• Revise ambiguous language for precision.
• Eliminate close word repetition, unless it serves a stylistic purpose.
• Check formatting and stay consistent.
• Finish the essay at least a couple of days early. Walk away from it. Return a day or so later to read it one last time with fresh eyes looking for careless errors.

What qualifies someone as a good creative writing tutor?
|
A strong listener and someone able to provide clear guidance. I lead students on a journey of self-discovery as they search for the details and insights that make their stories uniquely their own. Using principles of effective storytelling, I support students in crafting their visions into a narrative which brings their curiosities, core values, and personality to life. Students learn how to showcase their distinct voices and appropriately express passions and vulnerabilities. Their carefully crafted words will leap off the page to truly engage their reader. The end result is a beautiful statement of individualism which demonstrates how a student’s experiences and outlook continue to positively shape their future. A creative writing tutor, such as myself, wants students to become distinctive and memorable.

What is better, an in-person or online writing tutor?
What is most important is to find an excellent writing tutor that can help you develop effective communication skills. This person might not always be someone near you. There are great advantages to getting online tutoring and working on platforms such as Google Docs. Read this blog about the advantages of online tuition if you are in doubt. Of course, sometimes students connect better with an in-person tutor, it is important to keep that in mind. Finding someone highly skilled and is most preferable.
Personally, I enjoy providing both in-person and online tutoring. Sometimes I travel and host a series of intensive workshops for students in different cities in Italy, France (I live in Milan and Nice), and Monaco. Other times I even travel to more distant regions (including the United States) during the summer or holidays. But no matter the time of year, I can always be found online and that is the beauty of being an online writing tutor.

Why select Dr. Allbright as a writing tutor?I am devoted to my students and provide a great deal of essay writing help.
I love to engage students by giving feedback and insights that helps them find purpose in the composition process. I build upon students' strengths and draw inspiration from their curiosities and experiences. Sometimes this is called self-to-text. I am particularly adept at fostering the skills needed to accommodate a range of learning differences. I believe that every student, from late primary / elementary school, middle school, high school and through graduate school, can develop the critical reasoning skills and organizational techniques necessary for a lifetime of successful essay and creative writing. I’m an admission essay specialist, professional editor and author. I provide academic tutoring and private tutoring services and coaching for over 20 years. I have taught grades 4-12 and at the university level. Additionally, I provide private tutoring for adults as well, especially those wanting to learn and write in English. |
During my own studies, from being an AP student through my PhD studies, and later as a teacher, I've learned what is required at every step of the essay writing process. I’ve taught academic writing as well. My continued learning and involvement in IB, AP, GCSE, A Level and university teaching gives me insight into what students struggle with the most with their essay writing. From this ongoing experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge into every lesson and as a result, my students' writing and argumentative skills are enhanced because of working with a highly skilled writing tutor such as myself.
I teach and tutor because I love to see students grow intellectually, academically, and take agency in their learnings. Let me help you find your voice.
