...Students learn from seeing others who've mastered it and helping others to Master it. I love to integrate learning with student hobbies and interests and even bring my own interest such as law, astrology, nature, music, and, even incorporating games. I do believe in reward based learning not punishment based learning. In other words, result-based evaluations and student self-evaluations are all a student needs to be motivated to do better, and obviously not receiving the...

I'm an undergraduate student at Indiana University. I'm studying Elementary Education and Special Education, so I have a strong passion for teaching and helping children in any way that I can.

These moments are what motivate me...

Skokie Reading Tutoring FAQ
Reading is one of the most beneficial skills your child could learn during their academic career. While reading is taught in language arts and English courses, it is used in every subject. The ability to read will determine whether your child passes their courses, gets into college, and gets a job. Pretty much your child's entire future rests on their ability to read. So if your child is currently struggling, you should not waste any time connecting them with a private tutor. Varsity Tutors can assist you and your child in finding an independent, professional reading tutor in Skokie, IL.
An enthusiastic reading tutor in Skokie, IL, could help make your child's educational process more efficient, more enjoyable, and less stressful. Many students dislike reading because they find it boring. One of the great ways to combat this is by giving them books that they actually find interesting. This will keep them engaged and encourage them to continue reading. Like most areas in life, the key to understanding something is practice. If your child does not practice reading, they are unlikely to ever get better. A private reading tutor can spend enough time with your child to understand what interests them. Once their tutor has identified this, their tutor can find books that your child could enjoy.
Personalized reading instruction in Skokie will allow your child to develop a rapport with their tutor to facilitate the learning process. It is also important that your child be able to read out loud. This is a useful skill, but one that can be tricky to obtain. If your child is not a great reader, being asked to read in class will make them stressful and anxious. This will not encourage them to continue reading. It will actually have the opposite effect. But if they can practice reading with a private tutor, they can start to build more confidence, because they can read in an environment that is stress and judgment free. As they begin to feel more comfortable with this, they will gradually feel more comfortable with the idea of reading in class.
Your child's reading tutor is available to meet them either in person or face-to-face online. Their tutor can also meet them at a time and location that works best for you and your child. So if your child feels most comfortable studying at your house, at the Skokie Public Library, at Sweety Pies, or at Hamlin Park, their tutor can meet them there. Let us connect you and your child with a talented reading tutor in Skokie who is truly excited about reading and teaching it to others.
