We are flexible on the schedule, but would likely want to do a few (2 or 3) sessions per week. We are consistently available week day afternoons after 1 pm or on Saturdays and Sundays any time. We could also do early mornings starting at 7:30 on week days. We want at least a day in between each session.

We will be unavailable the week of 6/22 but are around the rest of the summer and would like to find someone that has full summer availability.

We are looking for a literacy tutor to work with our 7 year old (entering 2nd grade in the fall.) He has made substaintial reading/writing progress during 1st grade and just needs someone who can continue to help him grow over the summer. At this time, he is likely in the early stage of full alphabetic for encoding and decoding (although his decoding is slightly stronger and might be into mid full alphabetic by the end of the year). Our goal would be that he would be at, or near, late full alphabetic in both encoding and decoding by the end of the summer, or making progress in that direction.

If we found the right fit, we could be open to starting before summer starts or continuning after the summer ends, but it is not a requirement to have on-going availability.
