Monica W.
Private tutor in Palm Beach, FL
Education
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Reading from Montana State University, as well as numerous courses in Language Arts Instruction: Reading, Writing, Spelling and Grammar. I was a Teacher's Assistant in a college Basic Sign Language course, and therefore, I teach basic sign language.
Experience
My specialty is teaching NON-READERS and STRUGGLING READERS to READ and COMPREHEND in a short amount of time. My method: an Intensive, Systematic approach to Phonics Instruction, incorporating music, singing, writing and penmanship. You will see your child's self-esteem soar. His or her classroom teacher will take notice. Research shows that as you talk, sing and read to children, then existing links among brain cells are strengthened and new links are formed. At a younger age, learning is faster than it will be as the child grows older. When a child is taught to read, the process of learning has a profound influence on the entire functioning and development of the brain. Only by mastering effective reading strategies can your child pick up the necessary knowledge and information, which will enable him or her to excel scholastically in the future, and grow in self-confidence and independence. You can instill in your child a lifelong love of learning and reading by getting them help now. Your money will be well-spent, and the rewards will be priceless. I have experience as a classroom teacher, teaching all subjects in grades 1, 3, and 5; Reading in grades K through 7; and tutoring Reading in kindergarten through 12th grades, and Reading to adults.
