Spokane Reading Tutoring FAQ
If your student is struggling with their reading, Varsity Tutors can connect you with experienced Spokane reading tutors. Sometimes students do not receive enough support in the classroom and that's where private tutors with expertise in reading instruction can really help. Working with a private tutor, your child can have ample time to ask questions and gain confidence in the troublesome topics.
We can help you connect with highly qualified reading tutors who can support your child's classroom learning. Expert tutors have a wealth of knowledge to share with your student. Spokane reading tutors can create personalized lesson plans and teach topics in engaging ways that encourage your student's learning.
How is Spokane reading tutoring different from classroom learning?
Spokane reading tutors can grant your child their undivided attention, whereas, in the classroom, the teacher must stick to the curriculum and manage an entire classroom of students. Students who may be struggling can easily fall behind when they don't have a chance to get all their questions answered. Also, the classroom teacher does not have the flexibility to adapt their teaching style to reach all the different types of learners. This can increase the challenge for students who are struggling with their reading to stay on track in class.
However, with Spokane reading tutoring, your student and their mentor can concentrate on exactly what your child needs to work on and adapt their lessons to your child's preferred learning style. For example, if your first-grader prefers tactile learning methods, their private instructor can use sand or shaving cream writing to teach both upper and lower case letters. Or, if your middle-schooler is an aural learner, a tutor can read aloud to them while they underline important words or phrases.
There are lots of different techniques that Spokane reading tutors can use to teach, and a tutor can try a variety of strategies until they find one that works for your child. Working on reading skills with a private instructor also allows your child to move at their own pace, skipping over concepts they've mastered and concentrating on concepts they do not understand. This makes more efficient use of study sessions that address your student's knowledge gaps. Learning reading concepts is hard work, so why not help your student focus their time and energy on where it matters the most?
What are the benefits of having my student study with Spokane reading tutors near me?
A tutor can get a sense of your student's reading ability and outline a study plan that caters to their learning needs. These lesson plans are customized and flexible, so if your student makes quick progress in phonics and word recognition, for example, the tutor can move directly into fluency and comprehension. Private Spokane reading tutors can build a rapport with your child and get to know how they like to learn. Customized lesson plans and teaching methods that best suit your child are just the beginning. Studying with an expert reading instructor can have a positive impact on your student's reading skills as well as their attitude toward school overall.
When your student is dealing with reading difficulty in the classroom, they may not receive the attention they need to keep up with the class. Additionally, they might not be comfortable showing that they're struggling in front of their classmates. During Spokane reading tutoring sessions, your child can express themselves openly about their reading struggles, for example, reading aloud with purpose and understanding.
Private instruction gives your child the opportunity to build a rapport with their instructor. This can help your child gain a whole new perspective on reading. The tutor can, in turn, get to know your child's interest and personality which they can incorporate into reading lessons to help keep your child more engaged. By relating a topic to a personal interest, like a storybook character to their favorite cartoon, the tutor can help your child learn to love reading, which can lead to academic improvement. There are thousands of books to choose from, and your child's tutor can select stories specifically geared towards their interests and at their reading level.
One-on-one sessions with Spokane reading tutors allows your student to receive immediate feedback. Since reading is a skill that builds on itself, it's crucial for a student to understand current concepts so that they can work up to more complex ones. Once a student gets off track in class, it can start to feel impossible to regain their footing. When your child works with a talented, supportive instructor who can give consistent feedback, they can build on their skills in a steady, straightforward way.
Parents can benefit from their student's tutoring, too. It can feel difficult to know the best way to help your child who has reading difficulties. So much of their schoolwork involves reading in some form and having a private tutor to help your child on their homework can make the nightly homework routine much easier on you. Enlisting the help of a private tutor can give you tips and suggestions on how to support your child's efforts.
How can I fit Spokane reading tutoring into my student's schedule?
Now that you know all the benefits that Spokane reading tutoring can provide, you may be concerned about how to add another commitment to your family's busy schedule. Varsity Tutors has fortunately found a way to help your child get the reading support they need through either in-person or online sessions that won't interfere with your child's other obligations.
If you choose to schedule online sessions, your student can enjoy an additional level of convenience. Our Live Learning Platform provides a way for your student to attend sessions from any location with an internet connection. Our platform offers a variety of useful features to increase the efficiency of each lesson, such as video chat, a virtual whiteboard, and a shared document editor.
The video chat feature lets your student ask questions, get thorough explanations, and discuss different strategies on how to work through tricky concepts. The virtual whiteboard and shared document editor allows the tutor to observe your student while they work on an assignment as well as share additional examples. This makes it easier for the tutor to identify problem areas and address them right away so bad habits don't take root. The ability to offer consistent, immediate feedback is a huge asset to the learning process.
The Live Learning Platform allows face-to-face communication between tutor and student that makes online learning just as effective as in-person meetings, without the hassle of a commute. All your student needs to begin their Spokane reading tutoring is a compatible device and internet connection. They can sign into the platform from any location, whether it's from home, a study room at the Spokane Valley Library, or an available classroom at their school. Private reading instruction has never been more convenient.
