Has tutoring increased your grades?

Hey enwiable and silva112, could you recommend your english tutor ?

Thanks

Unfortunately, my old one no longer tutors after pursuing a career change (Read: I scared her out of the business with my awful studentship )

Without my english tutor i'd have had 35-37

with english tutor i got 44

I cannot stress enough that English tutors (good ones) can REALLY help.

Hearing this makes me relieved for having an English tutor XD

Mine was basically a person who sat down with me and said, "this sentence is retarded. fix it."

Or, "this idea doesn't hit the mark. There's x, y, z you're not considering. Also you're not arguing it effectively. Make this point instead of that point"

In English, you want as MUCH critique as possible. It's how you learn. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, you're 100% supposed to (and then learn from them).

Haha sounds like my tutor, she really has no fear of criticising HARSHLY, and if needed, swearing as well. "F*K! HOW HARD IS IT TO WRITE IT?"

.... I'm kind of scared of her now :S
