Improve Reading Comprehension with Guided Tutoring for Kids

From 58 C$ /h

I will offer your child guided reading assistance. Guided Reading will help your child develop reading proficiency, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. We will be using digital short stories in this lesson.

Your child will be introduced to reading strategies: breaking words into parts, stretching sounds out, looking for smaller words within a word, finding the base word, adding ending and beginning sounds to help solve tricky words.
* You will be introduced to a new story. We will do a book walk. This happens before reading. We look at the book title, cover and pictures in the story and make predictions about what the book will be about.
* I will go over some of the challenging words that will be in the story to help make the text more familiar for you.
* I will model how to read a sentence with a challenging word from the story, using a reading strategy.
* Your child will take turns reading the story aloud, implementing reading strategies when needed with support from me.
* Your child will answer several comprehension questions. Please see the list of example questions. Each set of questions will be unique and based on the story.
* We will write a written response of a summary of the story. I will model writing, using paragraph formation. As a class we will write part of the summary together. I will then add some vocabulary words onto the screen to help students add some descriptive words to their writing. Students are then encouraged to add a couple more sentences on their own to the summary. Please have a piece of paper on hand for writing.
* After writing, we will work on vocabulary from the story that we have read through a digital game.

Arabic becomes much easier when speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary are developed as connected skills rather than taught as isolated rules.

I am a native Arabic speaker, PhD-qualified engineer, university professor, researcher, and multidisciplinary tutor with more than 30 years of experience in teaching, training, mentoring, academic work, and personalized learning.

This class is designed for children, teenagers, university students, professionals, heritage learners, and adult learners who want to build a clear and confident command of Arabic. Lessons can be taught in Arabic, English, or French, allowing explanations to be adapted to the learner’s linguistic background and level.

Depending on your objectives, we can focus on one specific pathway or combine several skills into a structured learning program.

My teaching approach follows a clear progression:
understand → hear → pronounce → read → use → write → analyze → communicate independently

I do not teach Arabic as a disconnected collection of vocabulary lists and grammar rules. I connect language structure to meaningful texts, conversation, writing, and real communication. Depending on the learner’s age and level, lessons may include guided dialogues, fully vocalized texts, visual explanations, reading passages, grammar analysis, structured exercises, dictation, storytelling, writing tasks, and personalized practice.

We can work with your school curriculum, university course, textbook, reading difficulties, grammar questions, writing samples, professional objectives, heritage-language needs, or personal learning goals.

Whether you are learning your first Arabic letters, improving conversation, strengthening reading, mastering grammar, developing academic writing, or reconnecting with Arabic as a heritage language, I will adapt the sessions to your level, objectives, pace, and preferred learning style.

My goal is to help you understand Arabic as a living, structured, and expressive language—and to use it with increasing accuracy, confidence, and independence.

Hoi! Ik ben een 17-jarige student uit Spanje en ik wil later graag leraar worden. Ik vind het leuk om met kinderen te werken en hen te helpen met school.

Ik geef online hulp bij **begrijpend lezen**, bijvoorbeeld met teksten en opdrachten van Nieuwsbegrip. We kunnen samen teksten lezen, moeilijke woorden bespreken, vragen beantwoorden en oefenen met het begrijpen van de belangrijkste informatie.

De lessen zijn rustig en aangepast aan het niveau en de leeftijd van ieder kind. Mijn doel is om kinderen meer zelfvertrouwen te geven bij begrijpend lezen en schoolwerk. 😊
