1-1 Tutoring

In-Person Tutoring

Virtual Tutoring

I offer 1-1, Private, in-Person Tutoring at my Office. Here, your child will learn to understand the multiple ways that vowels change their sounds, which is important in decoding words. After learning the how and whys of the vowels, they learn ways to blend the sounds smoothly into real words.

I offer Virtual Tutoring on Read Naturally Live. Here, your child will log-in online to read nonfiction stories at their own pace, and individual reading level. These stories will cover a wide range of topics, ranging from animals and nature, to people and events.

What Your Child Will Learn

#1 - Letters & Sounds
> Alphabet Recognition - Knowing the alphabet is the first step toward reading and writing. Recognizing letters and their corresponding sounds (phonemes) is crucial for phonemic awareness.
> Sound Awareness - Understanding the sounds that each letter makes is essential for decoding words and developing early reading skills.

#2 - Writing
> Fine Motor Skills - Writing letters helps improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, which are important for tasks like drawing and cutting.
> Spelling and Composition - Practicing writing aids in learning correct spelling and helps children express their thoughts and ideas clearly in written form.

#3 - Phonics
> Reading Skills - Phonics instruction teaches children how to connect sounds with letters and blend them to form words, which is foundational for reading.
> Decoding Words - Phonics enables children to decode unfamiliar words independently, increasing their reading comprehension and confidence.

#4 - Literacy

> Critical Thinking - Literacy development fosters critical thinking and the ability to analyze and understand complex ideas.
