Is your child struggling with reading, writing, spelling or phonics? 

Do they find it hard to create an effective working environment at home? I 
provide private and group rate tutoring for all subjects. 10 years experience 
with middle and high school students in classroom, one- on-one, and 
alternative education settings. I am confident in my ability to relate to 
children quickly, addressing the challenge of learning differences, motivation, 
and goals effectively. In-home or public library service provided. Notice 
marked improvement for the following progress report! No waitlist, 
available immediately.
