Programs offered at Finch Tutoring:

Unlike other tutors and tutoring agencies, I specialize exclusively in helping struggling readers.  The multisensory reading programs I use are based on the most recent research in reading instruction and are designed to improve skills in the following areas:
  • Decoding and Spelling
  • Comprehension
  • Study Skills

Decoding and Spelling Program
The highly structured linguistics method of instruction applies a multisensory approach to building decoding, fluency, and spelling skills.  Lessons are systematic and sequential, each one building on previously learned material in a step-by-step manner. 

The linguistics method will both improve the reading skills of your child and provide him/her with a solid understanding of the rules which govern our language.  Signs your child may benefit from the decoding and spelling program include:
  • Weak word attack skills
  • Weak word recognition
  • Weak contextual fluency
  • Weak spelling
  • Weak comprehension

Comprehension Program
Often students who struggle with reading comprehension have difficulty with concept imagery.  They cannot express ideas in an organized manner and, despite reading well, are unable to comprehend written material. 

​I use a unique program that improves comprehension as well as the expressive and receptive language skills of the student.  Your child may benefit from the comprehension program if he or she demonstrates:
  • Weak comprehension despite adequate word attack skills
  • Weak oral language expression
  • Weak oral language comprehension
  • Poor critical thinking
  • Weak written language skills

Study Skills Program
This program of study is geared towards the individual needs of the student.  I use a variety of unique visual and organizational strategies to help students of all ages learn how to study and retain information.

A Personal Approach

Unlike commercial learning centers, you will receive personalized service from one tutor. 

I assess, I tutor, and I monitor progress.  

Consistency is key to your child’s success.
