Aurora Reading Tutoring FAQ
When reading is a struggle, students don't particularly enjoy it, and it often has a seriously detrimental effect on their schoolwork. It can even affect their self-esteem. For parents who have seen this struggle in their son or daughter's life, there are resources available. One-on-one tutoring may be the way to go to try to help your son or daughter to try to improve their vocabulary, decoding, or understanding of phonological awareness. If you are looking for a reading tutor near Aurora, the educational directors at Varsity Tutors could help you find a tutor who could assist your child as your son or daughter works toward achieving your child's academic goals.
There are many ways to teach reading, from phonics to phonemic awareness, and an independent tutor who enjoys reading and teaching others to help overcome their reading-related struggles can find the right method for your son or daughter. If your child struggles with affixes and roots, prosody, or sequencing, Varsity Tutors' educational directors can match you with an Aurora, CO, tutor in reading who has the teaching experience to try to make the most complicated concepts understandable.

In the first meeting, the tutor will conduct an assessment to figure out where your child is struggling. They will then build an individualized learning plan around your child's strengths and weaknesses, targeting the areas of reading instruction where your child needs some help, whether it is something like sequencing or recognizing and using idioms or high frequency words correctly.
