Do they have an IEP or 504 plan? (We have tutors that specialize in learning differences)

The tutor that was paired with my daughter was perfect and fits Bella's needs. Bella struggles with attention and has been on a 504 plan for years. The tools used, the interaction and flexibility are priceless. I was hesitant at first but now I'd do it again and I recommend Varsity Tutors!!

Cleveland Reading Tutoring FAQ

If you're looking for a reading instructor for your student, Varsity Tutors can connect you with the best Cleveland reading tutors.

Reading is a fundamental skill that is necessary to achieve success, not only in school but all throughout your child's career and life. By giving them the chance to build their reading skills now, you can be giving them a gift that will pay off for many years to come. Cleveland reading tutors are professionals who have the requisite teaching skills and subject knowledge to help your student develop their reading abilities, whether they're a kindergartener just starting to learn to read, a high school senior looking to improve their comprehension of literature, or anywhere in between.

What are some of the advantages of Cleveland reading tutoring?

The one-on-one attention that Cleveland reading tutoring can provide your student with can bring advantages that you won't always see in classroom instruction. When students are working on their reading skills in a group setting, their teacher has to turn to universal, one-size-fits-most teaching techniques that aren't necessarily suited to individual students.

Teachers also have to keep up with their class schedule, and this can mean that students that either fall behind or would like to get ahead of their classmates aren't well-served. Although it may not seem so to highly-literate adults, reading is a complex skill, and it can be difficult or your student to develop a love of reading if they're not receiving a form of instruction that works for them, or if they have to work at a pace that they find uncomfortable.

Cleveland reading tutoring provides an alternative. When a reading mentor sits down to work with your student they can focus entirely on his or her learning experience and prioritize subjects that your student needs to work on. If you have an elementary-aged student who excels at phonics and has no problem sounding out and decoding words, for example, but who struggles to read fluently, their instructor can find age-appropriate texts about topics that your student is interested in, so that they can have a direct incentive to develop their reading accuracy and comprehension. This can additionally instill a love of reading in your student, which can serve them well throughout their academic career.

If you have a high school student, on the other hand, their mentor can follow along with novels that they've been assigned for school and assist them in developing an understanding of literary analysis by discussing themes, figurative and connotative uses of language, character development, and the like. This can not only provide a route to success in English classes in high school and college, but can also help them develop a nuanced understanding of written English that can serve them well in the business world and can be reflected in their own compositional abilities as well.

Everyone learns in their own way, whether that's aurally, visually, or kinesthetically, and Cleveland reading tutors can employ teaching methods that cater to your student's preferences. If you have a kindergartener who has difficulty recognizing letters, or how letters combined to form syllables and words, they may not be receiving instruction that makes sense to them.

Their private instructor can use a range of teaching techniques, like associating letters with images or even drawing the shapes of letters in sand or other tactile substances, until they land on a form of instruction that works for your student. The same goes for older students: some can benefit from learning to diagram sentences and break down the structure paragraphs and passages visually, while others can find discussion-based learning more effective. Cleveland reading tutors can lean into the instructional techniques that your student responds to best, whatever those may be.

What kinds of skills can Cleveland reading tutors near me help my student learn?

The type of instruction that your student can experience through Cleveland reading tutoring can vary depending on their age and skill level. At the Kindergarten level up through the third grade, students are learning the basics. Instructors can assist your kindergartener in developing their understanding of the fundamental properties of English print, like how words are ordered from left-to-right and top-to-bottom on the page.

Students can work on phoneme awareness, which is the conceptual knowledge of how letters combine to form sounds, and sounds combine to form words. While at this point your student may not be up to complex reading challenges, Cleveland reading tutors can still engage them with fun and interesting stories and word games that can help them learn how to arrange and rearrange sounds to form new words.

At the sixth-grade level, students will be working on informational reading. Cleveland reading tutoring can give your child a boost by going over their homework with them or presenting them with passages related to their interests. They can help your student come to understand the basics of how texts are structured and how authors communicate their ideas, and assist them in learning to integrate information from several sources to form a more complete view of a subject.

The same goes for students at a high school level, although of course, these students will be dealing with longer and more complicated texts. If your high schooler has difficulty with or lacks interest in reading, Cleveland reading tutors can still find ways to get them involved with written works. They might ask your student to watch a popular movie that is based on a book, for instance, and then use that book as source material for reading lessons. This can be a great way to teach your student about how different artistic mediums lend a particular viewpoint to a story or topic, and introduce them to textual analysis.
