Structured Assessments
Strong writing sets the foundation for academic success and, ultimately, professional success. It drives performance across subjects, shapes how well ideas come across on essay-based assignments, and remains an important component of the college admissions process. The demands only grow from there. In college, students must tackle many writing assignments regardless of major, from core composition courses to research papers, business plans, and case analyses. Solomon's Academic Writing Tutorial prepares students to succeed in tackling such assignments, with structure and accountability, so that improvement carries well beyond any single assignment.
BENEFITS
Why Choose Solomon's Academic Writing Tutorial
One-on-One Expert Instruction
Each student works individually with an experienced writing instructor who tailors every session to the student's writing level, academic needs, and overall goals.
Assessment-Driven Progress
Each student completes a structured sequence of writing assessments, beginning with a baseline assessment before the first session and continuing with benchmarks throughout the engagement. Growth is measured and documented, not left to impressions.
Prepared, Focused Sessions
Instructors review written assignments before each session begins, so the instructor arrives prepared. Session time goes to instruction, discussion, and development.
Direct Feedback in Every Draft
Students write and revise in a shared document, allowing instructors to annotate work directly during and in between sessions, model effective revisions, and track changes from draft to draft.
Comprehensive Writing Support
Instruction may cover the full range of writing skills, including understanding the prompt or task, thesis and argument development, evidence and support, structure and organization, grammar and mechanics, clarity, style, and formatting. Topics are determined by each student's unique needs.
Personalized, Professional Feedback
All feedback comes from an experienced educator, rather than software responding to a prompt, who has read the student's actual writing. The instructor knows the student, tracks progress throughout the tutorial, and adjusts instruction based on judgment.
Good writing is reflective of good thinking.
Real Instruction in the Age of AI
AI tools can produce good essays, but they cannot produce strong writers.
An AI-supported paper might help a student fulfill the requirements of a given assignment, but this technology does not help the student build the skills needed to succeed in writing independently. From in-class writing assignments to college application essays, student writing is assessed frequently in high school and beyond.
Solomon's Academic Writing Tutorial builds those writing skills through real instruction from experienced educators who become familiar with each student's work, track student growth, and foster accountability between sessions.
As AI-generated writing becomes more common and more noticeable, students who can write well independently stand out more than ever in the classroom and in the college admissions process.
SOLOMON STANDARDS
What Makes Solomon Writing Different?
Solomon Admissions Consulting has long helped students present their strongest possible academic profiles. Families who know Solomon through our admissions consulting will recognize the same standard here: rigorous, personalized guidance from carefully vetted educators.
Unlike drop-in writing help or AI tools that generate text for students, our program focuses on:
Documented Baseline
Instruction starts with a clear picture of strengths and gaps.
Intentional Practice
Work is assigned to be completed between sessions to reinforce what was taught.
Benchmark Assessments
Measurable checkpoints demonstrate exactly how the student is progressing.
Continuous Adaptation
Instruction is adjusted as the student's writing develops.
How It Works
Intake and Goal Alignment
We review the student's course load, current assignments, and goals to understand where they are and where they want to improve.
Baseline Writing Assessment
Before the first session, the student completes a baseline writing assessment so that instruction begins with a clear starting point. Each assessment includes a written essay and an editing exercise.
Instructor Matching
Each student is matched with an experienced writing instructor based on writing level, instructional needs, and preferences.
One-on-One Sessions
Sessions are composed of individualized instruction, live feedback, and guided revision. Independent writing practice is assigned at the end of each session.
Ongoing Assessments and Adjustment
Students complete additional benchmark assessments throughout the engagement to measure growth and inform adjustments, with a final assessment near the end to document overall progress.
