We can help your child do better.

Twelfth Grade English Tutoring

Senior year is filled with pressure - final exams, graduation, and college just around the corner. English shouldn’t be the thing holding your child back. Whether they’re struggling to analyse complex texts, craft clear essays, or manage their workload, our online English tutor for 12th graders provides personalized support to help them finish the year with confidence.

Why 12th-Grade English Can Feel Overwhelming

In twelfth grade, expectations peak. Students are expected to:

  • Analyse challenging literature and nonfiction texts at a deeper level
  • Write sophisticated essays under time pressure
  • Compare themes and rhetorical techniques across multiple works
  • Develop their own voice while meeting formal academic standards
  • Interpret texts from diverse authors and historical contexts
  • Prepare for final exams, college placement tests, and scholarship applications

Senior year comes with pressure, but building and using these skills helps your child progress through 12th grade feeling confident and ready for both exams and college. Read More

How APLUS America Keeps Senior Year on Track

We follow a three-stage learning approach that meets your child where they are and keeps them progressing:

Getting Started with English: We begin by understanding your child’s current reading and writing abilities. Our tutors review their skills to identify where they’re confident and where they need more support.

Weekly Lesson Plan: From there, we create a personalized Weekly Lesson Plan that targets the right areas. Each Monday, your child receives a fresh, personalized plan made up of three parts:

  • Revision and Catch-Up: We revisit core concepts like paragraph cohesion, grammar control, and interpreting author tone - helping your child clear up anything that’s still holding them back.
  • Consolidation: Lessons focus on the assignments and expectations they’re facing right now: persuasive writing, rhetorical analysis, source-based responses, and exam preparation. With guided practice, things start to feel manageable again.
  • Extension: As your child builds confidence, we introduce advanced writing techniques, comparative analysis tasks, and timed essay responses - great preparation for college-level work and end-of-year assessments.

Interactive Lessons and Games: 65+ games and over 1,500 literacy activities help build skills in grammar, comprehension, and writing. Practice feels engaging, not overwhelming.

Tutor Support: Our tutors go beyond just answering questions. Our 11th grade English tutor reviews your child’s progress each week, provides regular feedback, and is available to chat with parents to adjust the workload or approach as needed. When it comes to writing, your child can submit structured tasks for tutor review and receive detailed feedback to improve grammar, clarity, and structure.

Rewards That Motivate: As your child completes lessons, they earn points that can be exchanged for real-world rewards - like gift cards. It’s a smart way to keep them engaged.
