Manhattan Beach Study Hut Essay Writing

Manhattan Beach Study Hut can help you at any time with your essay writing, for any reason. Not everyone is born a great writer, and even if you were, there is always room for improvement. Already have sweet writing skills? We knew people in college who STILL couldn’t figure out how to structure their bibliography in the proper format—even if their ideas in the essay were beautiful, those citation errors would cost them a whole letter grade. P.S. If you don’t know what a bibliography is, you might want to stop by Manhattan Beach Study Hut for a citation refresher session! Teachers are picky with that stuff.

Anyway, oftentimes you have all these ideas in your head and just need someone to help get yourself started. A Manhattan Beach Study Hut Essay Writing tutor (say that five times fast) will ask you for a quick rundown of your teacher’s grading style, your prompt, your class, your history with essays—anything to help us get a handle on your needs. Once we understand how your final draft should look, we’ll make a game plan for you to get there.

No matter how much we get done within the session, we want you to be able to leave knowing how to finish your essay. One of the most useful tools a Study Hut tutor offers in essay writing is the construction of an outline. An outline may look like more work, but it makes the writing process infinitely easier. It organizes your topics, ideas, and evidence, at the same time providing a checklist to make ensure you met the assignment requirements. Completing the checklist equals full point and maybe even getting on your English teacher’s good side. Did I hear college recommendation? No? Just me, I guess.

How to Avoid Stress During the College Application Process

October 29th, 2014

No matter how prepared you are, or how much research you have done, the college application process is always stressful. It’s a big decision after all, and which college you go to will affect the next few years of your life! However, there are a few easy tricks we’ve learned during in all our college app sessions to help lower those stress levels!

 

1. Exercise

Sweating it out will help cure any college app jitters, or help you get past that writer’s block keeping you from finishing your personal statement for your dream school. Do some relaxing yoga or if that’s not your style, push yourself in an intense spin class. You’ll be so focused on trying to keep up, college apps won’t even cross your mind!

2. Treat Yourself

Grab a milkshake or one of your favorite snacks. There’s a ton of great food in the South Bay. It is a quick way to pick yourself up and mentally refresh yourself in the middle of apps.

3. Have Someone Else Read Over It

Having a teacher or tutor look over your application can be beneficial for a few reasons. They may catch any grammatical errors you may have overlooked. They can also help you remember an important academic achievement that you might have forgotten about that would be perfect for your college application.

4. Manage Your Time

Don’t try and save all your essays and applications until the day before they are due. Servers get overloaded, computers crash, and you won’t do your best work if you are trying to cram in three essays in three days. Work on it a little bit at a time over the course of a few weeks. You will write a better essay and keep yourself from having a melt down.

 

While applying for colleges and filling out college apps may be stressful, you should focus on how exciting it will be and all the opportunities you are going to have, no matter where you end up!
