Key components of my tutoring sessions include:
Each lesson builds on previously taught material. I use ongoing observation and informal assessment to shape instruction, so every session builds on your child's progress and responds to what they need next.
Skills are taught clearly and step by step, moving from simple to more complex. I make sure your child understands not just what to do, by why it works, helping them build lasting understanding and confidence.
We start by checking mastery of the basics: phonemic awareness, phonics, math facts, times tables) and then move to higher-level skills like written expression, reading comprehension, fractions, or decimals. We move at your child's pace, using review and recall.
Warmth and connection are central to my work. Your child receives immediate, personalized feedback throughout the session, building trust and independence as they grow.
Each session begins with connecting: a warm greeting, a homework check-in, and a short game gets our session off to a good start. Next we move to reflecting: revisiting previous learning, and celebrating wins while identifying challenges. Finally, we direct our attention to new material: first with a teacher demonstration, then practicing together, and ending with your child working independently.
