Somerville Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Phonics is an elementary school subject students are required to take. It is part of the Common Core Standards, and a subject that can take time to understand. For children, understanding the relationships between letters/ words and sounds takes practice. Many don't fully understand it at first. Some may learn slower, but your child can get all the help they need because there are so many teachers and study materials out there. Varsity Tutors will find your child a skilled phonics tutor in Somerville, MA, who will work to give the knowledge they need to thoroughly understand phonics. The tutor will work with your student one-on-one to build on their weaknesses, and help reach their phonics goals.
In fact, the educational directors at Varsity Tutors are well-versed in helping students in Somerville find a phonics tutor. There's no question that can't be answered, and no phonics topic that can't be taught to your child's learning style. The goal can be to catch up in class or prepare for the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System test. Your student's tutor will do what it takes to instill proficient phonics skills, whether it is using techniques such as word to word matching, phoneme counting, sound to word matching, or deleted phoneme. The phoneme, or individual sound unit, is often the focus, in order to try to help your child identify each particular sound and make the proper connections.
Many classes resort to a "one-size fits all" approach. This doesn't necessary work for every child, but a tutor could address this issue and offer the help needed to increase motivation and confidence. The right instructor can let your child excel where they haven't before. To be matched with a phonics tutor in Somerville who will put your student's needs first, contact the educational directors at Varsity Tutors.
Mastering phonics is perhaps more imperative than exceling in any other early subject. It is the foundation for reading, and certainly one of the processes by which children learn to read fluently. Your child has much to gain by working with an enthusiastic tutor who could work around their schedule. Lessons can be held after school, in the evening, or on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. The place is open, since the tutor can travel. Face-to-face remote lessons on the web are possible, thanks to a live learning platform. No matter the preference, we will match your child with a phonics tutor in Somerville, MA, who might help them meet and then surpass their goals.
