Getting better at English requires consistent habits: read actively, plan your essays before you write and review your teacher's comments carefully.

• Read with purpose: the more you practice reading with a pencil in hand, the easier it becomes to pull evidence for essays and class discussions.
• Outline your essays: a clear thesis statement and a list of supporting points before you write keeps your argument on track from introduction to conclusion.
• Review your drafts: reading your essay out loud catches awkward sentences, missing transitions and grammar errors that your eyes alone might miss.
• Apply corrections to future work: reviewing the comments on graded essays and applying those corrections to your next assignment is one of the fastest ways to improve.

A private tutor can work through your graded assignments with you and turn each correction into a learning opportunity.
