Certified Reading Tutor in Silicon Valley, 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.

Silicon Valley Reading Tutoring FAQ
Reading is one of the most important skills your child could learn because of how much it is used. Reading is used across every academic subject and it has a variety of practical uses as well. Reading is also a major part of many standardized tests, including the ACT, SAT, and the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). Thus, your child's ability to read can have a major impact on their future. If your child is currently having a tough time reading, you should contact a private tutor to ensure they get the assistance they need before they fall too far behind. The Varsity Tutors educational directors can find your child an expert reading tutor in Silicon Valley, CA, to cater to their specific needs.
Private reading tutoring in Silicon Valley will encourage your child to work smarter and achieve their goals in a shorter period of time. One of the hallmarks of poor readers is the tendency to only use one reading strategy. If your child is only using one reading strategy, they are missing out on a lot of the actual meaning in what they are reading. Their private reading tutor can aid them in identifying additional reading strategies and teaching them how to utilize them. This will ensure that they are getting the most out of what they are reading.
Let us connect your child with a talented reading tutor in Silicon Valley who is truly excited about reading and teaching it to others. If your child is struggling with reading, it is likely that they won't enjoy doing it. Working with a private reading tutor could help with this because their tutor can assist them in building their confidence through continued practice. Their tutor can also aid them in finding books that align with their interests. This will make it much more likely that your child could stay engaged and actually want to read.
Your child's private reading tutor is able to meet them either in person or face-to-face online. Their tutor is also available to meet them at a time and location that works best for you and your child. So if your child prefers studying at the West Valley Branch Library, at cafe Venetia, at Vasona Lake County Park, or at your house, their tutor can meet them there. Call our educational directors in Silicon Valley, CA, today to try to help your child get started in reading tutoring.
