Santa Ana Reading Tutoring FAQ
Reading, like any new subject, can cause anxiety in some students. In fairness, it's expected that children will all have some hesitation and difficulty. That's only natural.

Do they seem to have an especially hard time with things like word recognition, vocabulary, fluency, and inferences? If so, they may need extra guidance they can't get in class. They may need to work with a tutor. We're here to help. The Varsity Tutors educational directors can identify a private reading tutor in Santa Ana who will address all of your child's reading concerns.
A personal tutor will start by establishing what your child's strong and weak areas are in reading. Then, they'll create a lesson plan to address and correct those weaknesses.
