My literacy tutoring focuses on, but is not limited to, the following areas:

READING

• reading with fluency and expression, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, short stories, chapter books
• reading comprehension
• critical thinking – summarizing, making inferences, forming conclusions, creating alternate solutions, etc.

WRITING

• word study, spelling, grammar
• editing
• paragraph writing
• creative writing, narratives, poetry, etc.
• non-fiction writing

STUDY SKILLS

• how to study for tests,
• test taking skills
• homework and project help

I strive to create an hour of learning that is specific to your child’s needs while being both fun and challenging. Following along with the current topics of study in your child’s class is very beneficial as it boosts your child’s confidence.

My motto is: 'practice makes it easy'.

The small jobs for homework that I assign will help to solidify concepts and make good habits second nature.
