Ninth Grade English Tutoring

How APLUS America Helps Students Stay Ahead

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 English 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: Reinforces foundational skills like grammar rules, paragraph organisation, and basic literary analysis.
• Consolidation: Builds fluency with what they’re learning in class - such as identifying theme, supporting arguments with evidence, or planning comparative essays.
• Extension: Introduces higher-level concepts such as rhetorical analysis, nuanced tone, or advanced writing strategies - preparing them for upcoming units and 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. They review your child’s progress each week, provide regular feedback, and are 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.
