Minneapolis Reading Tutoring FAQ
If your child has been trying to learn to read yet has been struggling with the fundamentals, Varsity Tutors can help you by setting you up with Minneapolis reading tutoring that suits their needs. Reading is a skill that is crucial to your child's education, yet it is something that gives some students a lot of trouble.
Many adults tend to take the ability to read for granted, so they often don't know exactly what to do when they have a child who is struggling with fundamental reading skills. This is where Minneapolis reading tutoring can help. By teaching your child to better understand this seemingly basic skill, an experienced reading tutor can give your child the tools that can help them keep up with the other students in their classes.
How is Minneapolis reading tutoring different from classroom learning?
The biggest difference between working with Minneapolis reading tutors and traditional classroom learning is the extra one-on-one help that your student can receive. Reading fundamentals are taught to students in the classroom from kindergarten until middle school and beyond. While a student can technically learn all they need to know about reading from these classes, it's also easy for some of them to feel lost and even fall behind.
Even the best teachers may overlook a student if they have to teach a large classroom, and they often don't have the time or resources to pull that one student aside for personalized instruction. On the other hand, personalized instruction is exactly what the best Minneapolis reading tutors can provide.
Every student has their own learning style, and a private reading tutor can personalize their lessons and learning activities to suit your child's academic strengths and weaknesses. These lessons can be relatively simple reinforcements of what your child learned in the classroom, or they can be entirely new lessons that may not have been discussed by your child's teacher yet.
Studying with Minneapolis reading tutors can also give your child the chance to skip over some of the concepts that they've already mastered in class to focus on some that might be more difficult. For example, your elementary school student might already possess the phonological awareness to sound out a word based on how it is spelled, but they might struggle with some irregularly spelled words.
A class that is still focusing on sounding out words won't be of much help to your student, so a private instructor might skip over some of the more fundamental subjects in favor of more difficult ones. In some cases, this can help students stay ahead of their class even when they were previously struggling to keep up. As your child improves in their studies, their instructor can alter the lesson plans to reflect what your student has learned and what they need to study next.
What are the benefits of finding Minneapolis reading tutors near me?
Maybe the biggest benefit of working with Minneapolis reading tutors is that they can provide the kind of undivided attention to students that teachers often cannot. For some students, this kind of attention is enough to help them concentrate on subjects that have been giving them trouble in the past, but it can go further than that. A private reading tutor can form a rapport with a student, which can make their tutoring sessions easier, more productive, and even more fun.
Not only can your child's instructor learn more about your child's learning style and develop a lesson plan based around it, but they can learn more about your child's interests and suggest reading material that they might want to read for fun. Reading sometimes has a stigma among some students as boring, so anything that can convince your child that it can be fun and interesting is welcome.
Another major benefit of working with Minneapolis reading tutors is that they are often more flexible than a traditional school schedule. School is obviously essential, and your child should attend their regular classes, but Minneapolis reading tutors do not have to adhere to a strict schedule.
Regular reading lessons at roughly the same time of the day or week is generally preferred, but you will at least have some say over what that tutoring schedule will be. There is no need to pull your child out of class or have them miss out on their favorite extracurricular activities. All you need to do is contact us with your preferred schedule, and we can find a tutor who can accommodate you and your child.
Part of the reason Minneapolis reading tutoring is so flexible is that you have the option of online tutoring. When you go with this option, you will be able to access the Live Learning Platform and have your child engage in tutoring sessions anywhere you have a wi-fi connection and a reliable computer. This can be from your own home if you wish, but your child can just as easily work with an instructor from the Minneapolis Central Library or wherever they prefer to study.
The Live Learning Platform gives students access to features that can help them in their studies. Aside from the video chat feature that lets students communicate with their instructors, there is also a virtual whiteboard that can be used for the integrated learning activities and practice problems, a shared document editor that can be used to practice reading and writing, and the ability to record tutoring sessions so that they can be reviewed later.
Finally, Minneapolis reading tutoring can teach your child study skills that they can use on their own. Even though your child can learn a lot from their regular classes and their private tutor, the only way that they will be able to continually improve is if they work at it on their own. This will eventually mean reading by themselves once they master the fundamentals and find something that they enjoy.
Until then, it will mean taking what they've learned during their lessons and applying it to their homework and private study sessions. Your child's private instructor can provide some helpful tips and even suggest some apps that can make these private study sessions easier and more productive.
They might even give your child some incentive to start reading books for fun or to study something on their own that they find interesting. This in itself can have a profound effect on your child's education as they develop proper study habits that can be used for years to come.
