It was a challenging experience because of the size of the classes assigned to each volunteer tutor.

Subsequently, I tutored other college students in French until my graduation in 2008. I returned to...

Rockville Reading Tutoring FAQ
Is your young child having trouble in their reading class, and you just don't know why? Or is your older child getting less-than-stellar English language arts grades? Varsity Tutors can find you a reading tutor in Rockville, MD, who could break down the basic concepts of reading to try to make sure your child understands the big picture, so they can finally begin to excel in those reading and language arts classes!
Before they are given the task of reading full words in the classroom, children are taught phonics, which are the letter combinations that form the building blocks of all words. If your child is struggling to read, then they may not have understood their phonics completely. However, your child's classroom teacher likely doesn't have time to backtrack and re-teach children the phonics they need to learn that could help them begin to read well. However, unlike in a classroom setting, a reading tutor in Rockville, MD, could help your child learn any skill that they need to learn to begin to read well, whether it is in the curriculum for your child's current grade level or not, and it is not uncommon for a child to begin to excel in their reading skills once a few past misunderstood phonics lessons are cleared up for them.
Don't worry that your child's tutor will just repeat the lessons your child's classroom teacher taught in their prior phonics classes or current reading class that left your child confused. We can locate a reading tutor in Rockville who could teach your child the concepts they need to understand to read well in a new way that complements your child's learning style.
Your child's tutor could potentially help them understand basic reading skills or more advanced ones. Tutors are very skilled at teaching children about prefixes and suffixes, helping children improve their reading comprehension, and helping them understand those more advanced reading concepts they face in middle and high school English language arts courses; your child can get help determining the main idea of a sentence, understanding the different genres of written work, learning how to interpret the tone of a piece of literature, or tackling any other challenge they are facing in their class.
The educational directors at Varsity Tutors will match your child with a reading tutor in Rockville who will motivate them to reach the reading goals you have set for them and even surpass them! Your child's tutor will keep your child engaged by making lessons fun, and when your child begins to find reading fun instead of a frustrating subject, it will pay off greatly in all future reading classes! Your child's tutor can meet your child any place you choose that is most convenient for your family and at any time your child and you can squeeze into your busy schedules. An additional option is to have your child work with their tutor completely online, but with engaging and fun face-to-face interaction, as your child builds their reading skills and moves to the top of their class!
