Student Resources

The Writing Tutor provides the following resources to help students become better writers and to earn better grades. Choose from homework help, quick reference grammar guides & literature guides, writing contests, writing courses, online book club, suggested reading lists, searchable reference tools, research tools, and links to other writing resources.

The Homework Help Bulletin Board offers students an interactive means of obtaining help with writing assignments and English or language arts homework. Keep in mind that English is very subjective (there is often more than one answer). The Writing Tutor will delete any responses that are blatantly incorrect and will, on occasion, qualify responses that are "ify." WARNING: Don't believe everything that you see in print. Use other sources to confirm what you read!! Don't forget to use your teacher, your text book (or another reference book), The Writing Tutor Quick Reference Guides, etc. as resources!!

These reference guides provide answers to common questions about writing and English or language arts classes.

The Writing Tutor Young Authors Writing Contest is open to students in grades 5 through 12. Manuscripts will be judged in four categories: grades 5 & 6, grades 7 & 8, grades 9 & 10, and grades 11 & 12. Three winners will be selected from each age group. The winning entries from each writing contest will be published online and will be archived as examples of quality student writing to which other young writers may refer.
