The Wilson Reading System's structured, multisensory approach to decoding requires a tutor who genuinely understands how English phonology and morphology work together. Candice's University of Chicago English degree gave her deep knowledge of the language's structure, and her experience in reading intervention settings means she knows how to move through Wilson's syllable types and word-attack strategies at a pace that builds real confidence. She keeps sessions systematic but never robotic.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my undergraduate degree in political science. Right after graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Wilson Reading System is a structured, phonics-based approach to reading instruction designed for students who struggle with decoding and fluency. It uses a systematic method to teach sound-symbol relationships, syllable patterns, and word structure, helping students build confidence and accuracy in reading. For students in Denton who've fallen behind in reading skills, Wilson Reading provides a research-backed framework that addresses the root causes of reading difficulties rather than just symptoms.
Wilson Reading is effective for students in grades 2-12 and adults who need systematic phonics instruction, regardless of their current reading level. The program is particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, reading disabilities, or those who haven't responded well to traditional reading instruction. Tutors can adapt the Wilson Reading approach to meet each student's specific needs, whether they're in elementary school or preparing for high school success in Denton.
Wilson Reading specifically targets decoding difficulties, weak phonemic awareness, slow reading fluency, and trouble recognizing word patterns—issues that often hold students back even when they have strong comprehension abilities. Many students in Denton schools struggle silently with these foundational skills, which impacts their performance across all subjects. The structured, step-by-step approach of Wilson Reading helps students master the sound-symbol connections they may have missed, building the automaticity needed for fluent, confident reading.
During the first session, a tutor will assess your student's current reading level, identify specific areas of difficulty, and explain how the Wilson Reading System works. This diagnostic approach helps the tutor create a personalized plan that targets your student's exact needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. You'll get a clear picture of where your student stands and what to expect as they progress through the program.
Many students begin to notice improved decoding skills and increased confidence within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline varies based on the severity of reading difficulties and frequency of sessions. Significant gains in fluency and comprehension typically develop over several months of structured practice. Consistency is key—regular sessions combined with at-home practice accelerate progress and help students in Denton catch up to grade-level expectations.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors in Denton who specialize in Wilson Reading and understand the specific techniques required to teach this structured literacy approach. When you reach out, you can discuss your student's reading challenges, and we'll match them with a tutor experienced in Wilson Reading instruction who can provide personalized sessions. The right tutor will have both Wilson Reading expertise and the ability to adapt instruction to keep your student engaged and motivated.
Yes, Wilson Reading works well alongside other literacy support like comprehension coaching, vocabulary building, or test preparation for reading-heavy assessments. Many students benefit from combining structured phonics instruction with strategies for understanding what they read. Your tutor can coordinate with your student's school or other support services to ensure all instruction reinforces the same skills and goals.
Parents play an important role by encouraging consistent practice between tutoring sessions, providing a quiet space for reading, and celebrating small wins as their student's confidence grows. Your tutor will suggest specific at-home activities and practice routines that reinforce what's being taught in sessions without requiring you to be a reading specialist yourself. Regular communication with your tutor helps you understand your student's progress and know how to best support their reading journey.
