Josh: San Rafael Reading tutor
Certified Reading Tutor in San Rafael, 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.

San Rafael Reading Tutoring FAQ
Reading is one of the most important things a person has to learn in order to progress in life. It is also one of the biggest requirements for students to move on to the next level of education, and a section for reading is present on almost any standardized test your child will take. Because of the depth of language, it is not uncommon for children of all ages to have trouble in their reading classes. Between story mapping, figurative language, and decoding, there are many difficult concepts that can be very hard to grasp. Because of this, you should let Varsity Tutors find your child an expert reading tutor in San Rafael, CA, who is trained to teach students at any proficiency level.
Varsity Tutors could help you find a private tutor near San Rafael, CA, who could potentially lead your child on the path toward reading understanding. Because of their familiarity with the subject, an expert can explain some of the core concepts of reading in a way your child may have never thought about before. They can also help with the harder things, like homophones, phonological awareness, and compound words. Just based on the first few sessions, your child's personal tutor will identify their strengths and weaknesses as a student, and develop a study guide that is custom fitted for them. A personal tutor will also be able to train your student to ace the reading portions of standardized tests such as the CAASPP.
