Every student can grow as a reader and writer!  My individualized reading and writing tutoring lessons are geared towards elementary aged students. The lessons are designed to take every student from their current level and help them build confidence and skills in reading and writing.  Every student is an individual and as such, each session is tailored to the individual needs of that student.  The lessons are based upon phonics and the ideas found in the Science of Reading. 

The flexible format of this class focuses on the needs of the individual.  This class can help with remedial reading instruction, provide homework help, or provide enrichment opportunities. My teaching style is very encouraging and supportive of student learning.  I have helped many students over the course of several years find success with their reading and writing skills.

Individualized classes often include: practicing phonemic sounds and blending those sounds, finding the main idea, understanding context clues, determining author's purpose, using nonfiction text features, and paragraph writing. Handouts will be available for printing prior to each lesson.  Students will also be encouraged to come to the lesson with the book that they are currently reading.  An informal reading assessment will be provided in the first class, to ascertain skill levels and determine next steps.  This class is built upon the goals of the individual learner!
