Frequently Asked Questions

What is your teaching philosophy?

We take a holistic, immersive approach to reading. Your child will spend most of their tutoring sessions reading or discussing texts, practicing fluency and key reading skills. Immersed in literature, surrounded by words, stories, and ideas, your child will naturally grow in skill, confidence, and a love for reading.

What does your curriculum focus on?

Our curriculum builds core reading skills through extensive assigned reading. Based upon your child’s needs and preferences, the tutor will select a book and assign pages to be read during the week.

Any books purchased for your child are included in the tutoring session cost. Your child will keep all books as they begin to build their own personal library.

What happens in a tutoring session?

Each private session lasts one hour. The tutor and student typically spend half the session reviewing the previous reading, another fifteen minutes practicing a key skill such as reading fluency, and the final ten minutes selecting the next reading. Time can be also spent assisting with homework, if there is a need.

Is everything online?

Yes, all sessions are online. This allows us to offer flexible, affordable tutoring, attract the best tutors, and make our services as convenient as possible.
