EXCEL WITH PERSONALIZED TUTORINg
At TutorHour, we believe in the transformative power of reading, and we aim to imbue students with a lifelong love for the written word. Our Reading and Comprehension Program covers a broad spectrum, from the basics of phonics to advanced comprehension skills. Here’s what we offer:
- Early Reading Skills: Starting at the foundational level, we introduce students to phonics, teaching them to connect sounds with letters and words. We ensure students build a solid understanding of the alphabet and basic word construction, making reading a less daunting task.
- Elementary Reading: Here, we focus on improving fluency and vocabulary. Our tutors use engaging techniques to expand students' word knowledge and enhance their reading speed and accuracy. We also introduce basic comprehension skills, allowing students to not only read but understand and interpret simple texts.
- Junior High Reading: As students grow older, texts become more complex. Our program delves into advanced comprehension strategies, enabling students to interpret, analyze, and infer from various texts. We also work on enriching vocabulary and understanding the nuances of language, such as idioms and metaphors.
- High School Reading: Our high school level program deepens students' analytical skills, teaching them to critically evaluate texts, discern themes, and understand author perspectives. We also offer help with AP English courses and equip students with the reading skills needed for college and beyond.
Regardless of the reading level, we place a strong emphasis on fostering a love for reading. We guide students towards books that match their interests and reading level, helping them discover the joy of getting lost in a good book.
Recognizing that each learner is unique, we customize our teaching methods to align with each individual’s learning style. Our tailored approach ensures students fully comprehend each topic and can apply their newfound skills effectively.
