Certified Reading Tutor in Berkeley, CA
My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

Berkeley Reading Tutoring FAQ
There aren't many better ways to try to help your child improve their reading than setting up private tutoring sessions for them. Varsity Tutors will match your child with a reading tutor in Berkeley, CA, who will motivate them to reach beyond their goals in reading. The tutor will start by assessing your child's current reading skills, looking particularly at their strengths and weaknesses, along with their educational needs. With that information, the tutor can create a customized study plan that aims to try to improve your child's reading abilities and fixes up any weak points they have. Whether your child has been having a hard time with word recognition, affixes and roots, phonemic awareness, antonyms and synonyms, or any other key components of reading, a skilled tutor could break concepts down so they could be easier to understand. Your child could pick up on every essential detail with the help of their tutor.
We can match your child with an enthusiastic reading tutor in Berkeley who will encourage them to aim higher. A tutor can come meet with your child anywhere, including in your home, at LeConte Elementary, or even out at their favorite park on a sunny day. Varsity Tutors even has face-to-face online tutoring sessions through our live learning platform.
Each of the independent reading tutors that we could help you find in Berkeley is an experienced professional. Unlike the classroom environment, the tutoring experience revolves around your child and their preferred learning method, so they might get the most efficient possible results. The personal attention a tutor provides gives your child a major edge over other students, and might make all the difference in whether they get an average grade or ace their reading course. Since reading is such a crucial subject, the skills your child develops with their tutor now might continue to pay off as they progress to more advanced courses, and when they take the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress.
Our educational directors will match your child with a reading tutor in Berkeley, CA, who is knowledgeable in a host of alternative teaching methods to best teach to their particular learning style. An experienced tutor can find plenty of ways to make tutoring sessions exciting, enjoyable, and productive for your child, such as setting up fun games and activities and finding interesting stories for your child to read.
