Fountain Valley Phonics Tutoring FAQ
The study of phonics looks at the relationship between letters and sounds, and attempts to use the rules derived from that relationship to try to improve reading skills. In the state of California, students are tested on their phonics abilities through the state mandated California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, or CAASPP exam. If your child is getting ready for their CAASPP, or just struggling with phonics in general, one great way to get them some extra help is by having them work with a tutor. That's because a phonics tutor in Fountain Valley, CA, that Varsity Tutors can match you with could break down the most complicated concepts in a way that's easy for your child to understand.
When your child works with a tutor, they gain access to a professional educator who is an expert in the field of phonics. That means they'll be able to answer your child's questions as soon as they come up, which will result in a more efficient learning process. Additionally, your child's tutor will work with them to identify their weaknesses and then will develop a targeted lesson plan designed to solve those problem areas. Not only that, but their tutor will also provide them a quiet, distraction-free environment where they're able to focus their whole attention on their phonics lessons. That level of individualization and one-on-one attention is simply impossible to match in a normal classroom environment. Each of the tutors that Varsity Tutors can find for them in Fountain Valley are experienced in teaching phonics, so you know that your child could be in great hands.
Another unique benefit of your child's private tutor is the flexible nature of their schedule. That flexibility means you won't have to rearrange the rest of your life's important activities just to get your kid the help they need in phonics. You can even take advantage of the convenience of online learning, and set up an online face-to-face learning session for your child. The power is truly in your and your child's hands when they work with a private tutor. If that sounds helpful to you, call us today. We'll find you a private phonics tutor in Fountain Valley who is extremely flexible and can work with your schedule.
