Vancouver Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Many poor readers struggle because they lack a strong foundation in phonics. A phonics tutor in Vancouver, WA, might be your child's key to success. Varsity Tutors has access to a range of experienced phonics tutors. Our directors will match your student with a great phonics tutor in Vancouver who might help them to meet their academic and test score goals. No matter your student's skill level - if they have fallen behind and need to catch up, or if they just want to try to improve their reading skills - working with a tutor could provide them with the confidence they need going forward in their reading level.
Tutors are available to meet with your child anytime, anywhere. If you like to work with your child at home, a tutor could travel to your house and meet you there. If you find the community library or a coffee store like River Maiden more pleasant, your child's tutor can also travel there. Perhaps your child is too busy to meet in person, and that's okay, too! Just hop online and get set up on Varsity Tutors' online learning platform. There, your student can speak face-to-face with a tutor via an easy-to-use video chat, and even share text and practice problems on a shared screen. It's practically like your child is sitting there with their tutor!
Your child's tutor could help them to understand concepts in phonics like phoneme counting and sound-to-word matching. They can even teach your student how to understand vowel digraphs. Our educational directors can help you find a skilled phonics tutor in Vancouver, WA. Each tutor will arrive with plenty of experience, preparing them to be an excellent coach as your student grasps difficult subjects in phonics and reading.
Varsity Tutors could help you to find a tutor who understands your child's learning style. They could help them to learn different reading strategies, by using context and picture clues, and to decode the pronunciation of new words using different sound-spelling tricks. Your child's tutor knows that each student is motivated differently, and they will use their enthusiasm to try to help your child understand their reading in a way that is fun for all.
A strong foundation in reading is vital to your child's future educational career. Tutors can help to prepare students not only for classwork, but also for state tests like Smarter Balanced, Measurements of Student Progress (MSP), and End-of-Course (EOC) exams. Phonics tutors could help your student to become an expert reader at an early age, and continue to understand difficult new reading levels on their own. Tutors teach with the goal of your student one day becoming an independent learner. Contact our educational directors for help locating a phonics tutor in Vancouver.
