The Brighterly Writing Curriculum
Our writing help for kids follows a structured curriculum, with each plan fully personalized to your child’s needs. Our tutors teach all areas of writing, from sentence fluency to advanced essays.
Sentence & grammar foundations
Good grammar is the foundation of strong writing. Our tutors cover parts of speech, writing mechanics, punctuation rules, subject-verb agreement, sentence clarity, and word choice. These are not isolated tasks — they are integrated into actual writing.
Paragraph & essay structure
From one-sentence exercises, we move to paragraph and essay construction. Our tutors cover topic sentences, paragraph organization, supporting details, transitions, logical flow, and conclusion techniques. Students begin to write solid essays.
Vocabulary & expression
Students learn new vocabulary and use it in essays. Tutors work on word choice improvement, avoiding repetition, varying sentence structure, and matching tone to audience and purpose. As a result, writing confidence grows.
Online Writing Tutoring for All Grade Levels
Get personalized tutoring for writing that’s fully adapted to state writing standards. Your child learns the skills required at school and closes their own learning gaps at the same time.
Elementary writing help (Grades 2–5)
- In elementary school, we focus on sentence building and grammar basics, paragraph structure, creative storytelling, opinion writing, and early essay organization. Children learn to write clear sentences, use correct grammar and punctuation.
Middle school writing help (Grades 6–8)
- In middle school, we focus on multi-paragraph essays, thesis development, expository and persuasive writing, citing evidence, formal tone, and state writing test preparation. Our writing tutors for kids help children to argue a position in their writing.
High school writing help (Grades 9–12)
- In high school, we focus on analytical essays, literary analysis, research papers, AP/IB writing demands, SAT/ACT writing section prep, and college application essays. Our tutors help children learn test prep strategies and writing under pressure.
What Students Get Help With
Our online writing classes for kids provide fully personalized support in all the key areas of writing. Our tutors adapt explanations and practice tasks to each learner, depending on their needs.
Writing Tutoring for Every Type of Learner
The online writing tutors build practice around students’ specific needs. We match your child with a tutor who’s best suited for their requirements — whether they’re closing gaps or going beyond grade level.
Students catching up or closing writing gaps
Our tutors find learning gaps and determine where your child needs the most support. They adapt instruction as they go and use teaching techniques that work best for your kids.
Writers with dysgraphia, dyslexia, or learning differences
We use a multisensory approach for students needing dysgraphia or dyslexia support. Students with learning differences get matched with a tutor with the right qualifications.
Students with ADHD
For ADHD students, tutors use executive functioning strategies — graphic organizers, time-boxing, and chunked tasks. Our math students get the same level of support from the ADHD math tutors.
Advanced writers ready to get ahead
For advanced learners, tutors provide more complex tasks like research writing, argumentative writing challenges, voice development, and literary style work. Students learn SAT/ACT writing section strategies also.
