Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are your qualifications?
With over 30 years of experience in education, I’ve dedicated my career to helping students overcome reading challenges in order to reach their full potential. I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, which has provided me with a deep understanding about how to create effective learning plans that truly support student growth. As a reading coach and mentor, I’ve supported other educators by implementing research-based strategies that improve student outcomes. Additionally, I have extensive experience in English language development, giving me the skills to support students who are learning English as a second language.
2. What subjects do you tutor?
At Fox Tutoring Academy, we specialize in reading instruction for students in kindergarten through 5th grade. Our focus is on the five key areas of reading with current research based instructional practices. We also integrate listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills into our lessons to provide a well-rounded approach to literacy.
In addition, we focus on building strong writing skills, from basic sentence structure to more advanced writing techniques and genres.
3. What is your tutoring approach?
We use a personalized, student-centered approach. Learning is made fun and meaningful with creative activities, real-world examples, and an interactive online platform called Funclass. This platform allows for engaging lessons that keep your child focused and motivated from anywhere.
4. How will you assess my child's progress?
We regularly assess each student’s progress through informal assessments, observations, and feedback. We provide updates to parents re: improvement and adjust our teaching strategies as needed to ensure continuous growth. You may ask for a mini assessment after 6-8 weeks for an additional fee.
