Barton Tutoring

In one-to-one lessons, I develop foundational sound skills and connect spoken language with reading and spelling. I build each new skill on what the student has already mastered.

My approach

As quickly as we can. As slowly as we need.

Barton is steady work, not a quick fix. I teach skills directly, make room for careful practice and work to replace guessing with understanding.

Let’s talk about your reader.

A phone or Zoom conversation is the first step. Tell me what you are noticing about reading and spelling, along with any support your student has already received.
