Q: My child doesn't enjoy reading and struggles with reading comprehension in school. Her English grades are terrible and her difficulty with reading affects almost every academic subject. We live in Darien and are looking for a private reading tutor. Can a tutor from the Hoffman Educational Group help my child overcome these challenges?
A:
For many children today, reading for pleasure has taken a back-seat to electronic forms of entertainment, such as cell phones and computer games. As a result, grades suffer because children aren't getting the extra practice from 'reading for fun' that was common a short time ago. When a student has trouble with reading comprehension, that difficulty can make school a nightmare, because reading is the main component of most subjects and understanding and retention are vital to academic success.
The reading tutors at Hoffman Educational Group are experienced, enthusiastic educators skilled in helping students overcome reading, comprehension and retention challenges. At Hoffman, we believe that every student can learn, and our systematic three-fold approach – Identify, Instruct, Inspire – is designed to educate and support each student positively, effectively and successfully.
