Arlene helped my son organize and improve his writing skills for Ivy League, private and public university prompts. She was reliable with scheduled appointments and knowledgeable with essay writing. She enriched the essays by encouraging drawing from the student’s personal experiences. I recommend Arlene for future college essay writing requirements for college applications.

We also went over thesis statements and developing analytical arguments. It never made sense when my teacher explained it but he made it very clear and simple. he is also a very friendly guy with a good personality. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to work on essay writing or just wants to prepare for the Ap exam with a tutor who really cares about the subject and won't make it a drag.

My daughter need help with essay writing and, subsequently, with AP/SAT prep. Cindy was amazing in assessing my daughter's initial skills and then designing a two-year plan to increase her grade, then SAT prep, AP Literature/Language, and essay writing for college application. She is excellent at understanding my daughter's situation and working closely with her. Additionally, she posts notes for each lesson on Google Drive and assigns homework.

About essay writing

On Wyzant, students can connect with tutors who help develop strong essay-writing skills across all levels.

Essay writing is the process of creating a written piece on a specific topic, structured with an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. It involves three main stages: preparation, which includes understanding the prompt, brainstorming, and outlining; writing, involving drafting with a thesis and supporting evidence; and revision, including proofreading, editing, and ensuring logical organization. Effectively crafted essays communicate ideas clearly, support arguments with evidence, and engage readers.

Wyzant’s platform helps learners improve through expert instruction, personalized guidance, and confidence-building practice. Students can access lessons that promote critical thinking, clarity, and organization while developing the ability to craft compelling, well-structured essays. By connecting students with skilled tutors in a flexible, budget-friendly way, Wyzant supports progress and mastery that lasts.
