All levels
Derek typically provides instruction at his student's home ranging from Solana Beach to Carlsbad.
All the needed materials are provided, and Derek will guide parents with weekly practice as well as suggest online programs.
Derek customizes instruction for students at all age levels from the very beginning, to readers struggling with multisyllabic words.
Many older students need a review of phonics so they can accurately sound out unknown words that affect their comprehension.
Tracking Growth
Derek uses simple assessments to determine a starting point for instruction and tracks growth, which not only inspires the learner, but ensures the techniques are working for your student.
Expert Guidance
Derek provides expert guidance through personalized, one-on-one phonics lessons lasting about 45 minutes. Each lesson includes isolated word reading, fluency practice, and dictation with handwriting guidance.
