Let's Read Write Now! (12 Weeks) 1:1 Tailored Tutoring in Reading or Writing

This class will center around the student's current needs.  For example, if the student needs help on pronunciation and reading more fluently, I will have the student practice reading aloud and will help them with any weak areas they may have (depending on the student's needs, we may review phonics, vocabulary, or practice spelling).  We can either use the student's current reading assignment they have from school as practice or something that they personally enjoy reading in their free time.  (When the student enjoys the material or is reading about a character they love, it can keep them motivated to practice reading in their free time too!)  I want this session to be as tailored and personalized as possible to each learner so please let me know whatever preferences they may have.  

For learners who would like some writing assistance or feedback with a current writing project,  I will offer the student some suggestions and can help the student in either places where they feel stuck or can help them with revising what they may have already written to make it sound better. Feedback is essential to a writer's growth and goes a long way to improve one's writing.  

For young beginning readers or those who are learning English as a second language, we can work on phonics, pronunciation, and vocabulary building and tailor it to your learner's needs.  

For students who are preparing a speech, I can check for any grammatical errors and can offer feedback on the learner's modulation, pronunciation, and expression as needed.  (Practicing giving a speech in front of someone else is a great way to prepare!)  I have helped students ages 5-16 with checking their speeches and I will say that gaining the confidence beforehand plays a big part in a successful delivery!

Personal creative projects are also welcomed!  For example, if a learner wants to just learn more about poetry, writing stories, reading aloud for recordings, or something else fun, feel free to let me know.  I hope to be able to assist each learner according to their personal preferences.  (Just communicate with me ahead of time so that I can prepare for the class accordingly.)

Note to parents & guardians: I like to suggest that, if possible, you can communicate with me the learner's needs before the day of class so that I can prepare the class time to be focused on whatever area the learner most needs help with.  Also, because this is a mini session of only 30 minutes, just be aware that there may not be enough time to go over or revise a full essay/speech depending on the length but we can still do as much as time allows or we can focus on a certain aspect that the learner especially wants to focus on for the given session.  

If a learner needs any other one on one tutoring assistance related to either reading, writing, or the English language in general, feel free to reach out to me!

An example outline for a phonics focused class:

Week One:  Review of the alphabet and each letter's sounds; look for any weak areas needing practice

Week Two:  Word families (words ending in ab, ad, ag)

Week Three: Digraphs (ch, sh, th)

Week Four: Blends (bl, cl, gl)

The above is just an example as each parent may request something specific for their learner. 

Are you wanting to go over both reading and writing in one class?  Take a look below at the full session version of this class which will allow more time for going over both aspects!
