Welcome
Catch up on reading and writing skills—Tutor Scooter can help!
My mission is to help struggling readers and writers break through their barriers and reach grade level standards. I will do this by assessing their level, identifying their specific needs and teaching targeted lessons in reading or writing.
​
Students who struggle with reading—due to dyslexia or other challenges—often become frustrated and lose motivation. Individualized tutoring is essential to support them and build self-esteem. After third grade, reading becomes more academic and writing demands grow, making it harder for struggling readers and writers to keep up.
As a former upper elementary and middle school language arts and science teacher, I know how to connect with learners. It is never too late to catch up on reading and writing.
