Please call other tutors and compare both their hourly rates and estimated instruction time for the student to make one year’s worth of academic progress AND what they will do for you if the student doesn’t make the progress that has been promised.

Attention to the Parents of Five and Six Year olds:

My work is mainly to help struggling students to reach grade level and beyond in reading, writing and math. However, last year I taught beginning reading to two kindergarteners from Moreland Notre Dame School in Watsonville. Working with them for half an hour a week, they quickly rose to the head of the class.

By starting reading at such a young age, the pace of learning can be very relaxed and sure. Getting ahead early is much better, easier and cheaper than playing catch up later. And you never know how competent your child’s teacher will be in teaching reading.

For $ 20 a week you can give your child a brighter future.

History

Established in 2008.

I was a bilingual classroom teacher for many years – mostly first, second and third grades, and was a reading specialist for two years. When the economy crashed, the district that I worked for laid off their reading specialists. Rather than going back into a regular classroom, I started Kimes Tutoring.

As a classroom teacher, I had to monitor the behavior of all of my students all of the time, which meant that nobody was receiving all of my attention. When I was a reading specialist and dealing with small groups of children, I was able to focus on teaching rather than management.

Before I became a teacher, my youngest son was going into third grade and he couldn’t read. At that time, there were no resources that I knew of to help him; wasn’t he supposed to learn how to read in school? The summer between his second and third grade year, I taught him how to read.

Now he is a research physicist at NIST.
