Class Experience

Beginner - Intermediate Level
This 1-on-1 tutoring session offers personalized English phonics and reading comprehension instruction tailored to meet the unique needs of special needs learners, ages 4 to 16. 

Delivered by an outstanding PhD-level tutor with expertise in supporting diverse learners, each 30-minute session focuses on building essential reading skills through a structured and individualized approach.

The curriculum is flexible, covering phonics, decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension strategies, and is adapted to align with the student's developmental level, learning style, and specific needs.

Lesson Structure
Each session follows a carefully planned structure to maximize engagement and learning:

Warm-Up (5 minutes): A brief, interactive review of previously covered phonics or reading concepts to reinforce retention and build confidence.
Phonics Instruction (10-15 minutes): Focused phonics practice, including sound-letter associations, word recognition, and decoding skills to improve fluency and accuracy in reading.
Reading Comprehension (10-15 minutes): Tailored comprehension exercises that involve reading short passages, answering questions, and discussing key ideas to enhance understanding, vocabulary, and critical thinking.
Review and Reinforcement (5 minutes): A quick recap of the day's lesson and additional practice as needed to ensure mastery of new concepts.
