"Many parents wonder whether or not a phonics based reading program is the best for their child. One of the unique qualities of teaching someone to read using a phonics method is it lays a strong foundation for the 40 plus sounds in the English language. Furthermore, poor readers cannot escape the sinking hole of being a poor speller, too. As a reading specialist, I am dedicated to helping struggling readers. I teach vowel and consonant sounds, digraphs, spelling, vocabulary, affixes, and grammar. I want your student to master reading and spelling strategies quickly.

Placement testing is required before tutoring begins. This test helps determine your student's phonemic awareness and learning style. I am intentional about focusing on individual needs and learning styles to foster success for every student. In addition, I provide tutoring for people of all abilities and ages.

When students don't have a strong foundation in phonics, other class subjects falter; math being one of them. Let your child amaze you! Reading begins within the first few lessons. Proudly, I have helped many struggling readers make it on the honor roll soon after tutoring begins. I love the rewards of seeing them succeed.

My previous work history includes teaching in the classroom for 10 years. Most of my tutoring experience has come from working in a lead position for a world renowned tutoring company.

I would like to get more experience tutoring reading and spelling via internet calling. This is a great venue for distance learning." less...
