Allendale, NJ Reading Tutors

I have over five years of experience teaching reading to all levels and abilities. Students will read classics and play vocabulary building games. I love improving students self esteem and confidence, it gives me great joy to help improve students reading skills!

All academic reading levels (from elementary grades through advanced college).

I have been an avid reader my entire life, but have tutored for a number of years and know that reading can be daunting to many. I find that it is easiest to help students break chapters into smaller sections so that they can analyze them easier. I can help to make outlines and teach the basics of literary style but am also able to cover nuances within narratives.

30min increments: For < 60mins lesson, you have to come near to my place; I will come to your place at > 90mins.

The reading lessons I provide are mostly centered on Test Prep objectives, e.g. GRE/SAT/ACT Reading Comprehension, etc.

(IMPORTANT: Please do NOT book any lessons without confirming with me if we have a match in schedule. I have other obligations besides tutoring so if you do not have a flexible schedule, I recommend other tutors that will match your budget and schedule.)

I have been a Substitute Teacher for the Charles County Public Schools since September 2018. I started working with Grade 1and 2. During the second half of the year, I began to substitute for the 3's, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Grade 1. It wasn't until the second half of the year, I started to enjoy helping children one on one in the Special Education Program. This is where I could concentrate on one or a small group of students who needed extra help with their classwork. I specialize in Reading, Reading Comprehensive, and Writing up to Grades 2. My students have told me that I am patience, I make learning fun, and I am very creative teaching the children at their learning pace.

Every session students can bring their own items/homework to work from or assignments can be created based on their needs. Every session will be for YOU. It will go at your pace and as will work to help you learn and grow in reading.

Each lesson will work specifically with phonics.

During reading lessons students will receive targeted instruction to work on the skills that will help propel their reading to the next level. Using a diverse approach we will determine whether a student would benefit most from decoding, fluency, or comprehension work and target that area using a combination of high interest books and tailored reading games.

I am a special ed teacher with over 15 years experience. My curriculum includes A thorough teaching of phonograms, developing background information. Focusing on comprehension, writing and language art. I use A virtual white board and other technologies. I also hold a speech and drama licentiate and love reading to and with my learners. I have helped children increase at least 3 grade levels in a year. I believe in intense, well prepared and well structured lessons.

I love working with young readers, up to the age of eight or nine. I find helping children learn is extremely rewarding. I use variety of techniques, depending how the child prefers to learn. I believe that learning is intended to be fun and not a chore. children who are having fun while learning are able naturally able enjoy what they are doing. Reading is the gateway to adventure.
