Tutor availableMD/DC/VA suburban area or email

: Hello. Some of you know me because I've been posting here for a
: while. I am extending my tutoring hours and would be interested in
: connecting with any students/families out there who could use the
: services I can provide.: I am presently located in the Maryland suburbs, just outside the
: Capital Beltway. I can do local tutoring, and will also offer help
: by email and/or distance education for anyone who would like this
: kind of assistance.: I am qualified and experienced, having BA Honours, BSc, and MA in
: Education, as well as seventeen years' tutoring experience.: I offer tutoring in three subject areas: reading, math, and French
: language.: Reading: I use a program which mirrors the recommendations of the
: NIH/NIHCD report. I work on three strands, phonics/linguistics,
: oral guided reading, and comprehension. In the phonics/linguistics
: strand, I work on speech, segmenting, and blending, as well as
: written work; the oral/auditory work comes before the written and
: guides it. In the guided oral reading, I use carefully sequenced
: materials that lead the student gradually and steadily from one
: level to the next. I work on both oral and written vocabulary and
: grammar development. In comprehension, I stress thought and
: discussion over filling in workbooks, although I do some written
: work after the student has mastered enough written skills to make
: it productive. I also work on handwriting skills. Spelling is
: covered as part of the phonics/linguistics strategy. Students of
: all ages and levels can benefit from a program that is built
: around their individual needs.: Because I do not use franchised programs, I do not have to pay to
: support other people's head offices and advertising, so I can keep
: my fees comparatively low.: Math: I work on fundamental mathematical concepts and
: problem-solving. I will tutor advanced math (pre-cal and up) to
: students in any school. I will tutor high school algebra and
: geometry to homeschool students, and will tutor elementary
: students in both reading and math according to their needs.: French: I am fluent in French (native of Quebec) and have a degree in
: foreign languages and linguistics. I will work on vocabulary,
: pronunciation, and grammar, up to fourth year of high school or
: second year university. I prefer to work either with homeschool
: students or with students who are simultaneously registered in a
: school or college class in French.What are your costs for tutoring and how does your program work? JC
