Tutor in Sherman Oaks, California

My name is George. I am a Reading/Writing Tutor, who specializes in the remediation of students with learning differences and Dyslexia. I have ten years tutoring experience mostly in reading and writing, but also in math up through middle school. I have been trained in the FAST Reading system which synthesizes and improves upon the following methods: The Lindamood-Bell Approach The Orton-Gillingham Approach Visualizing/Verbalizing Comprehension Approach Multi-sensory Written Language Approaches I have worked for FAST Reading LLC, Results Learning LLC, and Tattum Reading, and have helped dozens of students improve their grade levels in reading, writing, and math. Using the FAST Reading system, I average two years of reading level growth with students in just 20 hours of tutoring. FAST is the fastest method of teaching children to read that is being used in schools today. Many programs will wait weeks or months until the student has perfected their sounds before moving onto reading a book. In my tutoring sessions, students will read their first book on day one. FAST Reading uses a variety of series of phonetically-controlled books that increase reading level incrementally and introduce new reading concepts systematically with each new book. Also, my students are comfortable relating to me, and I work well with all ages, Kindergarten through high school, college, and adult. I make each lesson fun and regularly incorporate breaks for games, sports and activities in order to keep students' attention spans, and attitudes, in high gear. *My normal rate is $75/hour but I am taking a steep discount for my initial few months on MeetaTutor.
