My comments on tutoring English : I noticed one of the problems encountered by students in English is knowing and correctly using different parts of speech such as nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, etc.
Students also construct run on sentences which are very long sentence that looks like a paragraph. A run on sentence may be corrected by chunking it into two - three sentences thereby making c\constructed sentences clear and accurate.
