FAQs for Reading Tutors
What are reading tutors?
You can hire a tutor to help your child improve their skills and understanding of almost any subject, and that includes tutors for reading. The best reading tutors help students understand how phonics work, improve their fluidity, and make reading comprehension easier.
How much do reading tutors cost near me in 2023?
The average rate on Care.com for a reading tutor as of December, 2023 is $20.88 per hour. The cost may vary depending on the tutor's years of experience, level of education, your location, and the student's individual needs. The tutor's rate will also vary if you chose to have a one-on-one private reading lesson or if they have multiple students sharing the same tutoring session.
Can I find private reading tutors near me on Care.com?
Most tutors can provide private reading sessions held at home and paid by the hour. You can search for a reading tutor near your area that matches your needs and coordinate a schedule that works for both of you.
How do I know if my child needs a reading tutor?
Your child may benefit from having a reading tutor if you notice that he or she is having difficulty reading and gets frustrated easily. A typical sign is when his or her grades are falling behind the rest of the class. In some cases, a few one-on-one sessions with a reading specialist will help the child to get back on track and regain his or her reading confidence.
If your child also has difficulty writing, it might be a better option to consider hiring an English tutor instead.
What does a reading tutor do?
A reading tutor helps their pupils develop the skills they need to improve how they read and how well they understand what they’re reading. A reading tutor can also help your child get better at reading out loud and retaining the information they read.
