The focus...
Reading and math subjects encompass foundational skills that are crucial to every student's capability to receive information, process information, interpret information, perform basic operations, and solve problems. School testing prioritizes these subjects, so should tutoring. Effective tutoring will integrate the importance of reading and math with any other core subject that a student needs support in.
Reading instruction and strategies should be designed to lead students to proficiency, increasing the ability to comprehend various types of literature and informational texts that extend across different subject areas.

If your child is demonstrating challenges in comprehension and/or problem-solving skills, then some of the above basic/foundational skills may be lacking. Minted Minds Tutoring will assess these skills and develop a personalized plan to help your child progress. The goal is to create thinkers who learn to work more independently, leading to an increased capacity to perform and succeed at a higher level.
Minted Minds Tutoring aims to help ALL students progress and improve skills that will lead to immediate and long-term success. If your child is struggling, disorganized, needs test-taking strategies, or has fallen behind during remote learning, then one-on-one tutoring may be the solution.
All students deserve the help needed to perform at their BEST...
