1:1 Private Phonics/Reading Tutoring K-5Th Grade 50 Minutes

Are you seeking motivation and encouragement for a student (homeschool or brick & mortar) in need of improved reading skills? Look no further - my Private One-on-One Reading Tutoring offers a dynamic and supportive learning environment to nurture and enhance reading abilities.

This is a tutoring class. Our time together is enriched with games, songs, worksheets, interactive activities, and other educational resources in PDF format and PowerPoint slides. This is not a comprehensive teaching course.

My classes are available on a convenient, ongoing basis to provide consistent support and practice.

Examples of tutoring assistance:

1. Letter identification and sounds review
2. Blending and segmenting words
3. Phonics
4. Sight words
5. Fluency
6. Vocabulary
7.  Grammer
8. Comprehension

Each session adheres to a routine, similar to below:

- 3 minutes for relationship building
- 2 minutes for a brain warm-up
- 20 minutes dedicated to reading or writing skills
- 5 minutes for a snack/bathroom break
- 10 minutes for a read-aloud/special activities/skills
- 5 minutes for overall review
- 5 minutes for a wrap-up

In the 30-minute sessions, we focus on one or two closely related skills, such as reading and comprehension, phonics and reading, or grammar and writing, according to the students needs.
 
In our 50-minute sessions, we will also cover similar skills but there will be added depth, activities, and practice. 

To maintain progress and ensure thorough understanding, two weekly sessions are recommended for this class. If you’re interested in additional tutoring days, please feel free to secure sessions through the availability tab.

Please note the following class requirements:
- Cameras and audio must be on at all times to ensure proper pronunciation and engagement.
- Periodic Parental Observation is appreciated in case of technical difficulties. 
- It is advisable for learners to use a laptop or computer for the best experience, as iPads may not fully support certain interactive games. PLEASE AVOID locations that cause wifi issues such as vehicles, parks, etc. 
- Our sessions involve the use of whiteboards and interactive games, which require some basic digital literacy skills. We can work together on teaching these skills with a supervising adult to model screen sharing, clicking and dragging, highlighting, and location of the writing tool to enhance your learner's interactive experience.
- Please refrain from eating during sessions as it disrupts workflow and poses a safety concern while speaking. Drinks are welcome. 

As per Outschool policy, if a student arrives more than 10 minutes late, the class will be considered missed and will not be eligible for a refund. Additionally, refunds are not available for classes canceled within the 24-hour window.

For rescheduling requests, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. While I strive to accommodate your needs, rescheduling within the same week is subject to availability.

I enjoy parental input and encourage it by communicating frequently through the Outschool platform. 

I look forward to helping your student embark on a journey of reading improvement and confidence. Join me in building a lifelong, confident reader!
