In this private 1-to-1 tutoring class, I'm committed to nurturing your child's intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and communication skills. Students will develop the ability to engage with current events and news articles in a meaningful way.

Your student and I will begin each class by developing a strong background in the topic and essential vocabulary. Understanding the context is the first step to insightful discussions! We will then dive deep into the key facts and terminology that are vital to understanding the news and non-fiction texts. Our focus is on clarity and comprehension.

Your child will then read the selected non-fiction article aloud, improving their fluency and confidence. As they read, I'll closely monitor their understanding and ask thought-provoking questions to ensure they grasp the main ideas and details. 

In this class, I will encourage your child's analytical thinking by motivating them to question, debate, and form opinions about the news. This process not only enhances their comprehension, but also empowers them to think critically. Our class will culminate with a thoughtful discussion, allowing your child to reflect on the article's significance and its impact on the world.
