Certified Phonics Tutor in New York, NY
I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method.... Discuss their interests, what motivates them, and their goals. What do they want to get out of tutoring?... Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.

Private Phonics Tutoring in New York City, NY
Receive personally tailored Phonics lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
If your child is struggling with phonics, it could be anything from phoneme deletion to decoding that is causing their confusion. When this occurs, you might consider working with a tutor. A private tutor may not only work to pinpoint the problem areas, but they can also try to help your child engage with and focus on all aspects of phonics in general. Varsity Tutors can help you locate a professional phonics tutor in New York City, New York, who can be flexible to your schedule. You can choose when and where your child meets with their tutor, including face-to-face online.
Oftentimes, when children struggle with a subject, they do not feel as though they can ask their teachers a lot of questions in front of the classroom filled with their peers. However, with a private New York City phonics tutor, your child can feel free to ask their tutor all the questions they need to. If initial consonant blends are just not making sense to them, they can ask for clarification from their tutor and spend as much time as they need to on that area. Because they are the only student working with their tutor during that session, their personal learning needs can be placed at the forefront of the meeting. Their tutor does not need to worry about other students' needs, as a teacher in a classroom setting does.
