Q:My child doesn't enjoy reading and struggles with reading comprehension in school. Her grades in English are terrible and her difficulty with reading affects almost every academic subject. We live in Stamford 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 cellphones and computer games. As a result, grades suffer because children aren't getting the extra practice 'reading for fun' provided just a short time ago. When a student has trouble with reading comprehension, school can be a nightmare, because reading is the main component of most subjects and understanding and retention are crucial for 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 effectively, positively and successfully.
Whether your child is struggling in English with reading comprehension, literature, or vocabulary, or your child is affected by a learning disability like dyslexia, a Hoffman in-home reading tutor will work with your family to develop a strategic, specialized plan to identify the learning challenges, master and retain the material, and overcome the barriers to success.
