"Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or duty. It should be offered to them
as a precious gift."
~ Kate DiCamillo

Serving K - 8th grade students in South Weber and Davis Counties

Experience a tutor who does more for your student; by providing individualized guidance that builds strong foundational skills, and inspires a love of learning, we can open the door for limitless growth.

Phonics

Students will begin to understand "The Code" of written words by learning to identify the sounds letters make, and how to manipulate them. Connections are made between letters and sounds as students prepare to "Crack the Code" of reading.

Fluency and Comprehension

Building fluency takes practice! But it also requires keeping students excited and engaged! Building fluency (the speed and smoothness of their decoding) opens the doorway to really comprehending new material, and making connections.

Decoding Skills

Using techniques from The Science of Reading, students learn to isolate and blend sounds and sound patterns. A variety of strategies are covered from vowel teams, tricky rules, high frequency words, and more! 

Writing

Writing skills are progressive and layered, and vital for students to be able to express their thoughts and ideas well. From the basic mechanics of sentence structures, and parts of speech, to paragraphs and essays, I help students find their voice, broaden their vocabulary, and develop the confidence to believe their words matter.

"When we make Play the foundation of learning, we teach the Whole child."  ~ Vince Gowmon

Testimonials

Hear what parents are saying

"We have absolutely loved working with Ms. Jen this summer as our son's reading tutor! She has such a fun and creative way of teaching that made all the difference for our busy boy. She is patient and turned reading into something he genuinely looked forward to each week with games, prizes, and even creative activities like practicing while jumping on the trampoline!
 

I thought my son was going to dread reading lessons, but it ended up being something he really looked forward to. Not only did she make learning enjoyable, but we’ve also seen lots of improvement in his reading and confidence. We couldn’t recommend her more!"
