...subjects, but I especially enjoy teaching middle school math and SAT prep. I have a strong grasp of the approaches necessary to succeed in those areas. It is fun to share those approaches with students and watch the AHA! moments unfold. Why do I teach?

Private Phonics Tutoring in Seattle, WA
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.
Phonics is a strategy used in elementary schools to teach children how to read. Phonics is traditionally taught early on in elementary school, though it is often used in conjunction with other strategies. With phonics, your child learns about letters and their sounds, as well as the relationship between them, allowing him or her to learn to spell the words. Your child may spend his or her time sounding out the words and phrases of his or her English class as he or she practices to understand the written form of language. The English language may be a struggle to grasp, given its complexities. If your child is having trouble learning to read English, Varsity Tutors' educational directors may help you connect with an independent phonics tutor in Seattle, Washington.
The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are prepared to assist you in identifying a tutor for your child. They begin by creating a student profile that details your child's various personality aspects.
