Words That Work
English Tutoring Built on Real Assignments
No generic worksheets — sessions run on the essays, novels, and Regents tasks your student is actually graded on.
English grades usually come down to two skills: understanding what you read, and saying something clear about it in writing. Our English tutoring works both at once. Students learn to pull the main argument out of a passage, back up a claim with evidence, and revise their own sentences — the exact skills the ELA Regents, the SAT reading section, and every college class reward.
Because your tutor is a college professor who has graded thousands of student essays, feedback goes beyond "add more detail." Students hear precisely what a stronger thesis looks like and why a paragraph loses its reader — then fix it live on a shared screen, from right here in Chautauqua County or anywhere else.

Familiar Frustrations?
English Problems We Help Students Beat
Reading and writing struggles rarely fix themselves — but they fix fast with the right coaching.
-
Essays Come Back Covered in Red
Structure problems, not effort problems. A clear thesis-and-evidence framework changes everything.
-
Reads the Page, Misses the Point
We teach active reading — annotating, questioning, summarizing — until comprehension sticks.
-
Staring at a Blank Document
Writer's block is usually a planning problem. Outlining together makes drafts start flowing.
-
Grammar Rules Never Stuck
Commas, fragments, and agreement taught inside your student's own writing, not drills.
-
The College Essay Feels Impossible
650 words about yourself is genuinely hard. A professor's coaching finds the story worth telling.
