Santa Clara Phonics Tutoring FAQ
Learning to read can often be a difficult and frustrating time for a child, but it does not have to be. Young readers need to be able to draw upon a wealth of reading strategies in order to be able to read fluently. One such strategy is having a good phonetic foundation. Having the skills to blend and decode words will allow your child's reading skills to grow. If your child is struggling with learning how to read or you are worried about their performance on a state standardized exam like the CAASPP, consider having them work with a personal phonics tutor. Varsity Tutors is happy to try to help you find an independent phonics tutor in Santa Clara, CA.
A personal phonics tutor in Santa Clara, CA, will be able to cater sessions to your child's preferences in a way that they won't get in a traditional classroom setting. The tutor will be able to meet with your child and evaluate their specific learning style. Lessons can then be planned with their learning style in mind, unlike in the classroom where lessons are taught to match a variety of learning styles.

Alternatively, sessions can take place at your child's school or at a local library such as the Central Park Library. The tutor can also work with your child through our face-to-face online learning platform if that is preferable to you.
