[quote=Anonymous]Great writing is a very very difficult thing to do well.  It's also subjective in terms of consideration.  It truly is.

The basics are grammar and rules of writing but having a voice is really about your passion for the subject.  That's always going to drive how well the piece is received.  That has to do with someone's style, thinking, personality.  You can't really teach that.  You can make it clearer and I don't think there's anything wrong in that at all.

Somr people may write better than others and a tutor to help this process is no different than a coach offering personal training extra work.

To those who say they would never offer it to their kids means they either think their kids are perfect writers, so good they don't need help if they don't want to provide extra help.  Both are totally cool.  But to suggest another family who feels their kid needs help and shouldn't receive it is really unfair.  Everyone may need help in something and writing essays for college entry is a pretty big deal.

How much help your kid needs is more important question and while all can benefit from help OP, your question can only be answered if you talk about what help you're looking for. A HS teacher can help a great deal as well. [/quote]
