Receive personally tailored Reading lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
Reading and understanding challenging works of literature is a fundamental part of the educational experience. As your child gets deeper into his or her educational career, the ability to summarize ideas and make inferences based on understandings of the material will become more and more critical to success. In order to be able to succeed at those more difficult tasks, it's important to understand reading comprehension early.
If your child is struggling with expanding vocabulary and getting tripped up on reading assignments, don't get frustrated! Get your child back on track in their reading course with the help of an expert tutor in Pleasanton, CA, today! Varsity Tutors can assist students in connecting with a tutor in Pleasanton who could potentially help them understand the concepts of reading. The tutor can try to help your child expand on what he or she already knows to make future tasks easier to handle. He or she will be able to pinpoint the areas that are causing problems and help plan a strategy that could make your child a stronger reader and allow for greater understanding of material.
If your child is having problems decoding figurative language, for example, their tutor can go over the differences between similes and metaphors and how each one comes up in stories. He or she could help your child learn story structure and help them grasp the concept of a theme and how the story builds around it, or help build vocabulary by using context clues to help figure out the meaning of words that are unfamiliar. Whatever it is that's giving your child problems with reading, your tutor will try to help you both understand the problem and come up with a way to fix it.
Your child's tutor will also be able to figure out a schedule that works with your schedule. Whether you prefer for your child to learn online or in person, Varsity Tutors will match you with a tutor who could meet that need. Your tutor might even find books based on your child's interest that will allow you to practice reading comprehension skills with him or her. When your child enjoys what they're reading, you'll find that progress comes much faster. A personal reading tutor in Pleasanton, CA, will be able to cater sessions to your child's preferences in a way that you won't get in a traditional classroom setting.
If you're noticing your child having problems grasping the concepts of reading that allow for strong reading comprehension, don't let him or her fall behind. Help them reach maximum potential with a professional reading tutor in Pleasanton!
