Reading
Phonics, fluency, comprehension, writing. Reading is where Katie’s training goes deepest — she works out which part is the problem instead of drilling all four.
CH.03
Chapter three
Tutoring, in full.
What she teaches, and what an hour with her actually looks like.
EX.01
Subjects
Reading, math, and science — taught the way each child learns.
Math
Number sense, fractions, word problems, test prep. She finds where it stopped making sense, clears it up, and rebuilds the confidence frustration chipped away.
Science
Elementary science through hands-on explanations that connect to how your child already sees the world. Curiosity first — the vocabulary follows.

EX.02
The hour
What actually happens in an hour.
Sessions run 40 to 60 minutes. Most tutoring pages never tell you what happens in them, which is strange — it’s the thing every parent actually wants to know.
01
First few minutes
How was school? Not small talk — it’s where she hears what went wrong this week.
02
The middle
She works the thing that isn’t landing, not the thing that comes next in the book.
03
Before the end
A win. Something your child can do now that they couldn’t do an hour ago.
04
Afterwards
You hear from her.

EX.03

One-on-one sessions
Online anywhere, or in person in Bridgeville and the surrounding area.

Growing confidence
Small wins, week after week, until they stop dreading it.
