Specialties
One-on-one tutoring can be an essential ingredient to building confidence and developing lifelong learning strategies. An individualized curriculum designed to focus on areas in need of attention, will accelerate the transformation from reluctant learner to confident student. Children want to be successful at school and I want to help them meet their goals. Having an educational advocate helps children develop a core confidence, which will serve them for years to come. At the parent's request I will establish a helpful line of communication with the child's school. Major areas of tutoring include: - Reading: fluency, decoding strategies, comprehension - Writing: sentence structure, paragraph and essay organizational strategies, vocabulary, spelling - Math: skill building, concept development, confidence building - Executive function processes: planning, organizing, prioritizing - Study skills - Test Prep: MCAS, SSAT and ISEE
