Private High School English Tutors

• High school English was the single most difficult
  class for me. There is something about the fact
  that everything is so subjective that just makes
  it an annoyance. I was never one to need private
  K-8 English tutors, but that definitely changed
  when I got to high school. There are a few things
  that step up the difficulty level and make
  English a bit more complicated. Here is an
  overview of some of the stuff that you should
  target with private high school level English
  tutors.

Annotation

• Admittedly, this is not a skill that is required
  of all English students when you are in high
  school, so this may not apply to you. In my high
  school, you had the choice toward your junior and
  senior year of bumping up to honors English or
  even AP English. If I remember right, it was AP
  English that emphasized annotations. Now, I am
  not someone who likes writing in a books margins
  and to dog-ear a page looks so sloppy to me that
  my OCD kicks in and tells me that I need to stop,
  but these are the essential skills with
  annotation. The point is that you are taking note
  of things that strike you as you go, so you can
  go back to those points later when needed. If you
  look at a high school English teachers copy of
  the same book that you are reading, you might
  notice that they have deeply annotated their copy
  to help guide the class. As much as you note what
  you feel is right, knowing what is important and
  what is not takes practice and that is something
  that you can learn with a tutor. You might even
  bump up to private college level English tutors
  because they tend to have more experience with
  annotation.

Shakespeare

• Another of the most difficult parts of English
  class is Shakespeare. As much as people say that
  his works were written in English, the language
  is so old fashioned and out of date that it is
  almost impossible to understand. I would have to
  read and reread over and over to make sure that I
  understood what was being said. Only when I was
  about to graduate did I find No Fear Shakespeare,
  which is a service provided by Spark Notes that,
  instead of summarizing like they usually do,
  takes advantage of the lapsed copyrights on
  Shakespeares work to publish the full play, but
  translated into modern English. It is a life
  saver that I did not find until way too late.

Research Papers and Citations

• Finally, high school brings a new set of
  challenges when it comes to research papers. At
  the lower levels, you are just learning how to
  write and how to structure your ideas, but you
  are not quite ready to get into citing your
  sources. Proper attribution is key in this day
  and age, so you need to learn how to create a
  citations page and cite sources throughout your
  writing. MLA, APA, and Chicago formats are all
  things you might need to know.
