Hello,

I'm Mr. John the Kindergarten Specialist, and I tutor customized 1-1 Accelerated English Programs for Early Literacy. 

All learners are welcome! I encourage ESL, neurodiverse, and any other learners who think they may benefit from my programs to try them out! 

To begin, a diagnostic assessment will occur during the first session to determine the best starting place for each learner. Once the assessment is completed, I will use my years of experience in the classroom and online to develop a customized program that accelerates learning by working within your learner's proximal zone of development.

There are five (5) topics covered for each level.
1. phonological awareness (sounds) 
2. phonics (symbols)
3. vocabulary (words)
4. fluency (voice)
5. comprehension (understanding)

They are covered in various fun and interactive ways, like games and songs that are differentiated based on the learner's interests, abilities, and preferred learning style.

There are three (3) levels that learners will progress through:

Level One (1) is for anyone just starting to learn about the letters of the alphabet and their sounds.

Level Two (2) is for anyone who knows the letter names and the most common sounds they make and is ready to learn about concepts such as long vowel sounds, blends, and digraphs.

Level Three (3) is for those ready for ideas like syllable types, and learners will leave with the confidence to read!

I engage learners with visuals, songs, and regular speaking, writing, and moving opportunities. We'll also use the Whiteboard feature on Zoom, as well as many other fun features they have. Nursery rhymes, poems, books, and more will be available for your learner to explore the English language!

I will provide parents with learning goals, success criteria, and weekly feedback on the learner's progress.

Free colouring pages are also available upon request!

*** Learners with ongoing enrolment will also now have free access to the Kids A-Z app and Raz-Kids for levelled reading support between sessions!

Peace out,
Mr. John
