ELEMENTARY TUTORING
Reading | Phonics | Writing | Grammar | Arithmetic
Our tutoring program uses interactive lessons to engage children and motivate them to learn. We recognize that all students learn differently, so we conduct our sessions tailored to each student.
Each session includes stimulating lessons such as games, puzzles, problem-solving, pattern-matching, reading, and sentence-building exercises. ​​
ORTON GILLINGHAM
Our reading tutors at Flatirons Tutoring use the Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach, a scientifically backed method that combines direct instruction with multi-sensory teaching strategies. OG is structured systematically and sequentially, focusing on phonics and helping all readers, especially those with learning differences like dyslexia.
OG breaks reading and spelling into smaller, manageable skills that build over time. Through multi-sensory experiences, students engage in reading and spelling by listening, speaking, seeing, and writing simultaneously.
MATHEMATICS
Our elementary math instruction is designed to create a solid mathematical foundation through engaging, hands-on activities. We utilize evidence-based teaching methods that are structured to be sequential, helping students grasp and retain essential math concepts. By focusing on problem-solving and critical thinking, we guide students to break down complex math problems into simpler, more manageable parts.
Our lessons are multi-sensory, incorporating visual tools, manipulatives, and real-life examples to make math both approachable and enjoyable. This approach is especially beneficial for students who find traditional math instruction challenging, helping them build confidence and skill.
