With Union Street Tutor (Kate Singh) you get one-on-one time tailored to the student’s needs. I meet students weekly, bi-weekly, or on an “as needed” basis, and sessions vary from 45 minutes- 75 minutes. If a student is struggling with a specific assignment, we work on that during the session, and then communicate via email if the assignment is due before the next session. I will provide extra reading or writing assignments if required, and I look forward to debriefing with parents either in person or over the phone. I can also be in contact with students’ teachers in order to help with organizational issues. Most of my students have stayed with me for 3 or more years, moving from one school division to the next.
Some examples of work I do with students, by age group:
Middle Grades (5-8)
- homework support in all subjects
- support with reading comprehension
- Writing enrichment, which includes creating short curriculum
- organizational help, which includes creating weekly homework grids with larger assignments detailed
- essay writing
Upper Grades (9-12th and college, too):
- organizational help (mapping out daily or upcoming assignments, or even physically going through the book-bag or desk!)
- support in humanties courses
- essay writing
- College prep- personal statement and essay writing
