Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our FAQ section! Here, you'll find answers to the most common questions we receive. If you have any inquiries, feel free to reach out to us directly. We're here to help!
What age groups do you tutor?
Answer:
I offer tutoring services for students ranging from Early Childhood to 6th grade. Whether your child is just beginning their reading journey or needs help with advanced math concepts, I meet each student at their current level and help them grow.
What is the Orton-Gillingham Method?
Answer:
The Orton-Gillingham approach is a structured, multisensory method used to teach reading and writing. It emphasizes phonological awareness, phonics, and explicit instruction, making it particularly effective for students with learning differences. I use this approach to help build strong foundational skills in my students.
How many sessions should my child attend before seeing progress?
Answer:
I recommend a minimum commitment of 6 weeks of tutoring sessions to see initial progress. This timeframe allows us to build a solid foundation and address any gaps in learning effectively.
What materials do you use?
Answer:
In my online tutoring sessions, I utilize a variety of digital tools and resources tailored to each student's learning needs. I have a virtual classroom that is especially beneficial for neurodivergent learners, as it incorporates gamified elements to make learning engaging and interactive. This approach allows students to participate in fun, hands-on activities that enhance their understanding of key concepts.
All learners can choose to use the virtual classroom or opt for a more "classic" online learning experience, where I deliver instruction using traditional materials and methods without the gamified elements. This flexibility ensures that each student receives personalized instruction that resonates with their unique learning style and preferences.
What payment methods do you accept?
Answer:
I only accept electronic payments for tutoring sessions. This ensures a convenient and secure payment process. Please contact me for more details on the accepted electronic payment options.
What subjects do you offer in tutoring?
Answer:
I specialize in reading and math tutoring, including Early Literacy Skills, Comprehensive Reading Intervention, and foundational math concepts. Additionally, I offer a combined class that integrates both reading and math tutoring, tailored to meet your child's individual needs.
How long is each session?
Answer:
Tutoring sessions vary in length from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your child's needs and learning preferences. I focus on providing effective learning experiences without overwhelming the student, so the duration and frequency of sessions are tailored to ensure the best outcomes. We can discuss and determine the ideal schedule during our initial consultation.
Do you offer in-person tutoring?
Answer:
I currently only offer online tutoring sessions. This format provides flexibility for both students and parents, allowing you to schedule sessions at convenient times without the need for travel. Online tutoring eliminates transition times associated with in-person teaching, maximizing valuable learning time. Additionally, online sessions enable the use of engaging digital tools and resources that enhance learning experiences. Students can benefit from a comfortable and familiar environment, which often leads to increased focus and participation. Overall, online tutoring allows for personalized, effective instruction tailored to each student’s unique needs.
What if my child has special needs?
Answer:
I am experienced in working with students who have diverse learning needs, including those with learning differences. I tailor my teaching strategies to accommodate each child's unique requirements, ensuring they receive the support they need to succeed.
