Regardless of what field you pursue for your Bachelors Degree or Diploma, the one subject that is always required for any program is English.
Unlike Math, English cannot be improved in a few months! It takes time to improve English and it is incredibly difficult to improve students’ marks in Grade 12. To truly see an advancement in students’ English abilities can take up to 6 months.
At Zylor Education, we focus on different areas when we tutor English. While Essay Writing is what most students think about, there are multiple strands of English such as Comprehension, Grammar, Vocabulary, Presentation skills and so forth. Our tutors focus on each area over the course of several sessions.
It is extremely important to start English tutoring when a student is in elementary school, as this is the best time to instil a passion to read and write. The earlier the better when it comes to starting English tutoring!
One of the most important aspects of our English tutoring
One of the most important aspects of our English tutoring method is convincing students to read. It does not matter what they like to read; it could be about the latest article on sports, dance or about a celebrity they admire. As long as students read something, it doesn’t matter what subject they are reading about. Just get them to read! When a student reads a novel, they paint a picture of the story in their minds. This skill becomes crucial when it comes to writing an essay, especially if it is creative writing. Reading also improves students’ grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure.
Since students speak English fluently, there is a tendency to ignore English in the younger grades, and this is a mistake. One does not write an essay the same way they speak, and this is where most students find English challenging. English tutoring should start in Grade 6 at the latest, so students learn to develop their writing skills. Most parents would not think twice about Math tutoring, however strong Essay Writing skills also take practice. It is very difficult and time consuming for parents to focus on teaching their children English. It is best to leave it to professionals such as our teachers at Zylor Education to provide English tutoring.
The students in high school study some of the famous novels such as “The Kite Runner”, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, “1984” etc. They also read plays by William Shakespeare. The tragedies such as Hamlet, Macbeth etc bring out the base human emotions like rage, jealousy, deceit. The teachers at Zylor Education teach students to appreciate the novels and plays.
English is not just important for getting into University
English is not just important for getting into University, it is also important when students are in University. Obviously, if you are in the Arts or Social Science fields, one can see the importance of English. However, English is equally critical in fields such as Engineering, Computer Science, Business etc. In these programs, you have to write essays or you may have to justify a strategy in marketing. This requires strong writing skills.
A good command of English does not end in University, it carries on in the workplace. If you are an engineer, you are called upon to write proposals, or if you are in business, you may be asked to write a business plan. Having the ability to communicate, whether it is oral or written, is crucial to your success in the workplace.
At Zylor Education (located in Mississauga), our highly qualified tutors teach English with a focus on the multiple strands described earlier. In each session, the tutors will focus on one of the strands and over the course of several months, parents and students will see a significant improvement in English. We focus on the Ontario curriculum when tutoring English.
If you have the ability to communicate, you will be very successful in High School, University or in the workplace.
CALL US FOR UNIVERSITY ENGLISH TUTORING IF YOU WANT AN A+
It is very important to not wait to start English University Tutoring as it is very fast paced and you will very quickly fall behind. The length of a semester in university is actually 3 months (about 13 weeks) and you finish a chapter a week. You will have your first midterm in early October (or early March for the second semester) and there will be 5 midterms, one after the other (since you are taking 5 subjects). It does not take much to fall behind and then digging yourself out of this hole is very difficult. So, it is best to start tutoring immediately and to do two sessions a week. This will enable you to clear up any misunderstood concepts and you keep up with the hectic pace of university life.
