Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Skill Builders Learning for?
Skill Builders Learning provides individualized academic support for elementary-aged students who need extra help strengthening their reading, phonics, writing, or math skills. I also work with students with learning differences, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD.
What subjects do you tutor?
I provide individualized instruction in reading, phonics, writing, spelling, and elementary math, with a focus on strengthening foundational skills and building confidence.
Are tutoring sessions individualized?
Yes. Each session is tailored to the student's specific needs, skill level, learning style, and academic goals. Instruction is adjusted as the student progresses.
How long are tutoring sessions?
Sessions typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the student's age, attention span, academic needs, and ability to remain focused and engaged.
Where are tutoring sessions held?
Tutoring sessions are in person, either at a local public location such as a library or, when appropriate, in the student's home. The location can be determined based on what works best for the student and family.
How do I know if tutoring would be a good fit for my child?
The best place to start is with a conversation. We can discuss your child's strengths, areas of difficulty, and academic goals and determine whether individualized support would be beneficial.
How do I get started?
Reach out by email to tell me a little about your child and the type of support you're looking for. We can discuss your child's needs and goals and determine whether Skill Builders Learning is a good fit.
Let's Build Stronger Skills Together!
