“Money should not determine who receives a quality education.”

The ability to write is as important as the ability to read, speak, or even do the math. A student’s writing ability impacts how they function in high school, college, and even as a person in the workforce. Therefore, it is critical for your student to have a strong foundation in the writing disciplines. Kivato Writing Tutoring Online offers affordable writing tutoring to support underserved communities. Our goal is to help give your student the tools to succeed.

 

How can Kivato Writing Tutoring Online teach my child to write?

It may not be obvious, but writing is part of every subject. We write to communicate with our peers and instructors. Without the ability to write, we cannot convey mastery of any other subject. At Kivato Writing Tutoring Online, we break down writing into its various forms and help your student master them all. 

To begin, we define the different types of writing forms and how to improve them.

Descriptive Writing

• What is it?
  • Descriptive writing captures an idea, a person, a place, or a thing. It gives the readers the necessary details focusing on the “who” or “what” and why it/they are important.
• How to improve it?
  • One of the easier writing styles, improving descriptive writing can be simple. Our Online Writing Tutors teach your child to talk about the item/person/idea to someone who has no background in the subject.
• Why improve it?
  • Descriptive writing is used to talk about events in a story, the procedure of an experiment, and ideas about any given topic. Building upon your student’s descriptive writing skills improves their ability to communicate their thoughts to teachers, college admissions administrators, and possible employers.

Narrative Writing

• What is it?
  • Narrative writing is a more subjective style allowing writers to show their unique voice.  Keep in mind, storytelling is not just for fiction. To be persuasive, one must craft a tale – a reason for the audience to rally support and sympathy. Narrative writing even takes place in analytical writing, giving life to cold science.
• How to improve it?
  • Practice makes perfect! It takes time for writers to find their voice. Our Kivato Writing tutors help students find their voice through writing exercises that focus on details and flow. We also focus on the individual strengths and weaknesses of your child to help them where they need it most.
• Why improve it?
  • Simply put, improving your student’s narrative writing will make everything they write more reader-friendly. It could be said that every communication is a story and the skill with which that story is told can make all the difference in how it is received.

Persuasive Writing

• What is it?
  • Persuasive writing works in tandem with other forms of writing. The ultimate goal of persuasive writing is to convince the reader to accept your argument. 
• How to improve it?
  • Kivato Online Writing Tutors will help your child improve their persuasive writing by studying a good argument and learning the powers of ethos, logos, and pathos. Exercises in identifying flaws in the logic and finding a way to fix flawed logic will strengthen your child’s understanding of how an argument works.
• Why improve it?
  • Persuasive writing is how we sway the audience to favor one side over another to achieve our goals. Furthermore, is often required in standardized tests such as the SAT or English AP tests.

Expository Writing

• What is it?
  • Expository writing is what you usually find in a newspaper or news magazine and combines elements from both narrative writing and descriptive writing.
• How to improve it?
  • To improve Expository Writing, we work on grammar fundamentals. Knowledge in grammar fundamentals allows a student to explain an event quickly, cleanly, and concisely which is what expository writing is all about.
• Why improve it?
  • Strengthening your expository writing will ultimately strengthen all other types of writing. Good grammar, varied sentence structure, and strong transitions make it easier for readers to follow any story.

Creative Writing

• What is it?
  • Writing is also used as a creative outlet. Fiction and poetry date back to the earliest days of written language.
• How to improve it?
  • To build on your student’s creative writing ability, they need practice! Kivato Writing Tutoring Online will provide exercises and drills to spur the creativity of your child. We will encourage journaling to build confidence in the written word.
• Why improve it?
  • It may seem strange to tutor creative writing. However, creative writing fundamentals can be taught, and a guiding hand helps expand, strengthen, and improve.
