ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING


The gifted child’s major contact with the world of ideas is through literature … intellectual growth in gifted children depends on their access to and regular involvement in the reading process.
— VanTassel-Baska, 1988

 

Using consultation survey results and parent input from a consultation meeting, I design curricular plans for students (ages 6-16) in subjects focused on literacy. These services include:

→ Enrichment or advanced opportunities that develop your student’s interests and talents in Reading, Writing, and Creative/Critical Thinking 

→ Instruction in compensating for the disability including Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or Disorders in expressive/receptive language

→ Sessions to target specific functional challenges in Reading (Decoding, Fluency, Vocabulary, Comprehension), Spelling, Writing, and Study Skills

Throughout the one-on-one tutoring process, I partner with the parents and the child’s teacher to set strategies for success. These include:

→ Research-based learning strategies for 2e kids

→ Regular communication with parent and teacher to follow-up with tutoring progress

→ Strategies for home study follow-up
