English & reading

Reading with understanding, then writing that makes an argument and holds it.

Strong readers become strong writers, so younger students read aloud every session and older ones read the text before they write about it. We mark drafts the way a teacher does: in the margin, with a reason.

What we cover

  • Reading fluency and comprehension
  • Grammar, punctuation and paragraphing
  • Essay structure, evidence and argument
  • AP Language and AP Literature

How a session runs

Every student keeps one notebook with us. It holds their drafts, our marks and their rewrites, so progress is on the page rather than in a spreadsheet.

Start with forty minutes and a plan.

The first assessment is free. You leave with a written summary of where your child is and what we would teach first.
