Our one-on-one tutoring offers a personalized approach to identify your child’s strengths and needs by creating an individualized plan.

With Reading & ELA Tutoring from Your Teacher Tutors, your child will:

• Improve reading comprehension. Students of all ages can have difficulty remembering what they read. Our reading tutors utilize research-based strategies to help students not only understand but also retain the information they have read.

Early Literacy Tutoring

We understand the foundational importance of early literacy. Our specialized tutoring programs are designed to support students from kindergarten through fourth grade, covering all critical aspects of reading and writing development.

Phonemic Awareness and Phonics: We begin with the basics by enhancing phonemic awareness—helping children understand how letters are linked to sounds. This foundation is crucial for developing decoding skills, which we strengthen through targeted phonics instruction.

Chunking and Word Recognition: As students progress, we focus on chunking strategies to improve word recognition. This technique breaks down words into manageable units, making reading more approachable and less daunting for young learners.

Fluency and Comprehension: Our teachers work diligently to improve reading fluency, ensuring that students can read smoothly at an appropriate pace. More importantly, we emphasize reading comprehension, teaching students to extract meaning from text and apply it to their own experiences.

Choose YTT to empower your child with the skills they need for academic success in literacy. With our expert guidance, we make learning to read engaging and effective, setting the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
