Online Reading Tutoring
Online Reading Tutoring? Over Zoom? REALLY?
Yes, really.

Does Zoom work? Even for kids with ADHD?
Yes, it does.

The Convenience of Online Reading Tutoring
In addition to being fun and engaging, our online reading tutoring is very convenient.
If your student is noticeably behind their peers in reading and it’s affecting their self-confidence, you want them caught up as quickly as possible.
If they’re still in early elementary school, you want to get them caught up ASAP so that their classroom teacher can take over the job of teaching them new phonics patterns. And if they’re older and should already be reading to learn rather than learning to read, you want them caught up ASAP so that their reading struggles don’t cause them to fall behind in other subjects.
For a lot of kids, that means 3-4 or even 5 sessions per week for several months.
You’re busy. Your kids are busy. You need to squeeze the tutoring in before school. Or after school, but before dinner. Or after dinner, but before bedtime. Weekends might work beautifully for you. Or not.
Most families don’t have the time to drive a child to in-person tutoring multiple times per week and don’t want the interruption of having a tutor in their house while they’re getting ready for work, making dinner or getting siblings to bed.
Online reading tutoring offers the flexibility you need to fit the tutoring your student needs into your lives.
The flexibility of Zoom sessions allowed us to fit tutoring into our busy life in a way that in-person sessions never could."

“I was extremely concerned about Charlie learning over Zoom, especially since he spent most of the pandemic Zoom classes under our kitchen table. However, it’s been fantastic and time-saving. Daniela engages him immediately and maintains momentum without 'brain breaks' that could make my ADHD child lose focus.”
