My Teaching Method

To customize the tutoring approach for your child, I create an individualized learning plan based on assessment. The tutoring approach is designed to meet students’ unique needs and interests.

Individualized Attention

In a typical tutoring session, I start with a check-in to build rapport and friendship while maintaining professionalism. Then, I deliver targeted instruction tailored to the child's goals and needs, ensuring a focused approach to their learning. Using a multi-sensory approach, integrating technology, and incorporating enrichment activities, I engage the child in an interactive learning experience

Progress Tracking

I utilize both formative and summative assessments to evaluate students’ progress in decoding, fluency, and comprehension. Additionally, I provide regular progress reports outlining their achievements, areas for improvement, and next steps. Consultations via meetings or email are also available as needed to address any questions or concerns.

Engaging Curriculum

I help children improve their learning skills through a structured literacy and multi-sensory approach grounded in the science of reading. Students engage regularly in rigorous decoding, fluency, and comprehension practice, fostering both literacy skills and critical thinking.
