Many students find it difficult to write an essay during the term of their education days. A good coach that can help the students excel their essay writing skills should consider the following points.

  • Establishing the language proficiency of the students - It is important for a writing coach first to identify how proficient the student is in the language that will be used to write any material, including the essay. Language proficiency is important as the coach can identify the potential problem in the students understanding a topic or even presenting an essay. Recommending that the students use simple, clear sentences without difficult words is the first step to teaching the students for writing an essay. A coach can start with the fundamental points of how to write an essay. These points would start by teaching the student how to identify the topic and titles relevant to their essay. Establishing a good topic and title makes it easier to reference for information and research. Next is to teach the students how to research the internet and media for information and points to include in their essays. Helping the students to learn how to streamline information would narrow the possibility of information overload and confuse for the students. It is also essential to teach the students how to arrange the information obtained into more manageable portions that they can use to write on and expand the points. One way is not only to make short point forms but to use accurate keywords to describe each point that the students want to present as a research or argument point. The bulk of the essay would come from the paragraphs which contain the body text of the research and arguments or counter-arguments.
  • Presenting the essay - Students need to present a well written and concise essay or thesis paper to get the best possible marks. Therefore it is up to the writing coach to teach the student how to format a good essay or thesis not just from the content but also the layout and presentation of the essay. A coach can also introduce useful tools available online that will help students in writing such as grammar and spell-check tools of which some are available free on the internet. These tools will help the student to ensure that the work they are submitting is as error-free as possible and therefore getting better results.
  • Closing an essay - The final part to concluding an essay is the closure. A writing coach can teach a student how to write a summary of the essay by using proper keywords to describe long paragraphs and forming short, concise sentences to explain each paragraph or argument. A good summary should be able to explain the entire essay not just as a conclusion but also as a short version of the entire topic. Last but not least, the best coaching advice for any student would be to encourage them to firstly write short essays progressing to more complicated ones to build up their writing skills and give them the confidence to undertake more difficult writing assignments and improving the quality of their works.
