I cannot believe it is our 5th birthday/anniversary whichever word you want to use. In November 2013 I began
Castle Rock Tutoring in Castle Rock, Colorado
It is now 2018, and so many things have changed. In the beginning, I was tutoring at the library (which I still do) and at students homes. That limited the number of students I could help. With travel time, carrying all of the tools that I needed for each student. I always wanted to include online students into the mix. Last year I decided to narrow down who I chose to work with and add online. I marketed and changed my name (sort of I guess) to Castle Rock Online Reading Tutor.
I took a leap of faith and asked one of my current families to give it a try. It worked, and I fell in love with the fact I can tutor children in reading over the computer. Currently, I see children all across the United States from Florida to California. I have seen many of them close their gaps in reading very quickly depending upon the child and their needs.
If you know of a child who struggles with reading (phonics, spelling, vocabulary), click the button below and fill out the information and I will contact you within 24 hours.
When I first started tutoring I thought this was a way to continue to help children in my community who struggled in school. As a certified Special Educator, I wanted to help all children in all areas. I continue to do my professional development but instead of focusing on many subjects I decided to condense my knowledge into reading. I took a Reading Interventionist course. This showed me how I could do tutoring online.
Thank You, Joanne Kaminski, Business Coach for Online Tutors
Castle Rock Online Reading Tutor Resource Page
A resource page is being developed with many items that I use with my students as well as items that fellow tutors and families have shared. Visit the page and see if there is anything you would like or needs to be added.
During our birthday month, we will be having Friday Freebies! Every Friday during the month if you are on our email list you will be receiving a Freebie.
Last but not least, just as my front page says I am always updating and trying new things so that my students and now others can increase their reading skills. I am developing a course that will help parents learn just that. Stay tuned I will definitely let you know when it is up and ready!
Congrats! Online tutoring is so amazing in the way it has helped you connect with students well away from where you live. And by meeting other tutors worldwide 🙂
Thank you, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love my job!
