Katelyn: Clifton tutor

Certified Tutor

As a dedicated and patient tutor, I am passionate about helping children build the foundational skills they need to become confident and successful readers. I specialize in using phonics-based instruction, a proven method that empowers young learners to decode words, recognize patterns, and develop strong reading fluency.

My approach is child-centered, engaging, and tailored to each student's individual pace and learning style. I create a positive and supportive learning environment where children feel safe to explore language, make mistakes, and grow. I believe in celebrating every achievement, no matter how small, because each step forward builds self-esteem and a love for reading.

With experience in early literacy and a deep understanding of phonemic awareness, letter-sound relationships, and blending strategies, I help students connect sounds to letters in meaningful ways. I also incorporate fun, interactive activities that keep children motivated and actively involved in their learning journey.

My goal is not just to teach children how to read, but to inspire a lifelong love of books and learning. Whether a child is just beginning to sound out words or needs support catching up, I bring patience, consistency, and a personalized strategy to help them succeed.
