Oakland Phonics Tutoring FAQ
It is imperative that students develop adequate reading skills early on. Without the ability to read, a student will likely struggle throughout all of their future classes. Learning to read is a process that must be taken seriously, and that process begins with phonics. Phonics introduces students to a variety of reading principles and concepts that they must learn and apply to their future reading efforts. Without a good understanding of phonics, it will be difficult for a student to learn how to read later on. Fortunately, there is help available for students who are struggling to learn phonics. If your child is having trouble in their phonics class, consider connecting them with a personal phonics tutor. Contact Varsity Tutors to get connected with phonics tutors in Oakland, CA.
An experienced phonics tutor in Oakland, CA, can focus only on those issues that your child is struggling with to make their study sessions as efficient as possible. Everything about the one-on-one phonics tutoring experience is personalized. A phonics tutor will tailor their approach to meet the needs of your child's unique learning style. Everything they do -- the methods they use, the resources they provide, the strategies they suggest -- will be based on the way that your child learns.

Phonics tutors are great at explaining vowel and consonant digraphs in a way that could make sense to your child, and they can also prepare exercises that incorporate syllables and short vowels so that your child learns the appropriate way to read and use them. Whatever your child needs to be successful in phonics, their tutor will try their best to provide it.
