Tutoring & Classes

PRIVATE TUTORING

Private one-on-one tutoring services are offered both in-person and online. I work directly with students who are in need of academic remediation with a particular focus on foundational reading, writing and math skills. I work directly with the child’s teachers to ensure cohesion between what is being taught at school and what the child is working on outside of school.

Tutoring sessions are systematic, sequential and involve multi-sensory learning experiences. Various research-based materials are used to best meet student’s unique needs.

Parent-support is provided as needed, including IEP consulting and academic coaching.
• Days & Times: Flexible scheduling, 1 hour a week minimum
• Grades: Elementary
• Commitment: Minimum of one academic semester

PRE-READERS

In this class, students will engage in play-based
phonological awareness activities that involve music, movement and art. The focus will be on hearing and manipulating the sounds in the English language. Using instruments, picture books, nursery rhymes, puppets and other hands-on manipulatives, students will develop foundational reading skills such as rhyming, syllable-counting and blending and segmenting sounds within words.

Students will be given the opportunity to learn in a big way by incorporating jumping, dancing, clapping, playing instruments and singing. Time will be allotted during each class for children to participate in process art. Each child will spend time engaged in whole-group and one-on-one activities with the instructor.

Time will be allotted for student-led learning and read-alouds. Classes will focus around an 8 week central theme. Themes can include: dinosaurs, transportation, farm animals and communities.

EMERGENT READERS

In this class, students will engage in play-based
early literacy activities and games to learn skills such as print awareness and alphabet recognition. The focus of this class is on developing an understanding of the connection between the sounds in the English language and the associated printed letters. Students will be taught in a
print-rich environment that incorporates picture books, board games, music and hands-on learning manipulatives. Letter-name and letter-sound recognition will be taught in a multi-sensory manner that
incorporates gross and fine motor movements. Process art will be incorporated into each class.

Each child will spend time engaged in whole-group and 1-1 activities with the instructor. Time will be allotted
for student-led learning and read-alouds.
