Enroll your child in tutoring sessions to boost grades and self esteem!
I Specialize in One-on-One Tutoring - Year-round individualized instruction - One on one reading and writing programs target your child's individual strengths and needs. After an initial evaluation, I tailor each student's learning experience to specifically address areas of need and promote certain skills or explore your child's particular interests.
Buddy Sessions Available - Sign your child up for a writing session with a buddy for a shared learning experience. A wonderful option for parents on a budget, and students who enjoy working with their peers.
Summer and Weekend Workshops - I offer various specialized workshops throughout the summer, and during the school year. Essay writing, study skills, test taking, video production and story writing are some of the subjects covered in workshops.
Below are some of the skills which are covered in Young Writers in Bloom individual tutoring sessions. I will focus on activities which most benefit your child during our sessions, designing each lesson to increase your child's comprehension and fluency without adding to his or her homework load.

Many of these skill sets are interconnected, and I work with both student and parent to determine which areas are to be addressed in your child's study sessions. If a child needs remediation in a certain skill set, he or she will get the support needed to improve in that particular area.
