The Wilson Reading System's structured, multisensory approach to decoding requires a tutor who genuinely understands how English phonology and morphology work together. Candice's University of Chicago English degree gave her deep knowledge of the language's structure, and her experience in reading intervention settings means she knows how to move through Wilson's syllable types and word-attack strategies at a pace that builds real confidence. She keeps sessions systematic but never robotic.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Wilson Reading System is a structured literacy program designed to help students with dyslexia and reading difficulties by teaching phonics, decoding, and fluency through a systematic, multisensory approach. It breaks reading into manageable steps, allowing students to build confidence and tackle increasingly complex texts. For students in Wichita who struggle with foundational reading skills, this method provides a proven framework that addresses the root causes of reading challenges rather than just treating symptoms.
In the first session, a tutor will assess your student's current reading level, identify specific challenges with phonics or decoding, and explain how the Wilson Reading System addresses those gaps. They'll introduce the core concepts and establish a personalized plan tailored to your student's pace and learning style. This foundation helps ensure that subsequent sessions build systematically on skills your student has mastered.
While the Wilson Reading System was originally developed for students in grades 2-12, it's effective for any age student who needs structured literacy instruction, including adults. For students in Wichita, the program can be adapted based on whether your child is just beginning to struggle with reading or is an older student who needs to catch up on foundational skills. A tutor can determine if Wilson Reading is the right fit during an initial consultation.
Most students begin to see noticeable improvements in decoding and fluency within 4-8 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline varies based on the severity of reading difficulties and frequency of sessions. The Wilson Reading System is designed for long-term skill building, so sustained progress continues over months as students master each level. Regular practice between sessions accelerates results, making 2-3 sessions per week more effective than sporadic instruction.
Wilson Reading is a highly structured, evidence-based curriculum that systematically teaches phonics, syllable patterns, and decoding rules in a specific sequence—unlike general reading tutoring which may focus on comprehension or fluency without addressing underlying phonetic gaps. It's particularly effective for students with dyslexia or significant reading delays who need explicit, step-by-step instruction. For students in Wichita who've struggled with conventional reading instruction, Wilson Reading's targeted approach often produces faster, more measurable progress.
Ideally, a Wilson Reading tutor should be certified or trained in the Wilson Reading System, which ensures they understand the curriculum's specific methodology and can implement it correctly. Many tutors also have backgrounds in special education, literacy instruction, or dyslexia intervention. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have the expertise and training to deliver effective Wilson Reading instruction for students in Wichita.
Yes, Wilson Reading works well alongside other literacy support like comprehension strategies, vocabulary building, or writing instruction once foundational decoding skills improve. However, it's important that tutors coordinate their approach so students aren't confused by conflicting methods. Varsity Tutors can help match you with a tutor who understands how to integrate Wilson Reading with other reading support your student may need.
Wilson Reading tutoring typically includes 15-30 minutes of daily practice between sessions, focusing on the specific phonics patterns and decoding skills taught that week. Practice might include reading decodable texts, completing workbook exercises, or practicing letter formation and sound recognition. Consistent practice between tutoring sessions is key to building automaticity and seeing steady progress—tutors will provide clear guidance on what practice looks like and how to support your student at home.
