Compassionate Reading Tutors in Montgomery, AL

Children who read become adults who succeed. But as much as we all want our kids to love books, sometimes they need help to embrace the joys and rewards of reading. Uncovering the why behind a child’s reading struggles is the key to unlocking a world of imagination, ideas, and inspiration. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach—instead, it takes personalized, caring, and positive support.

At Better Than Average Tutoring, our tutors are here to make reading fun for learners at any level. We use unique methods to identify reading barriers and shape our instruction around those needs. From summer reading to reading comprehension, we’re here to help!

How Do You Tutor Reading?

If your child doesn’t enjoy reading or struggles to read, private tutoring is a great way to help them discover confidence and yes, even a love for books! With BTA’s reading program, we can identify precisely what aspects of reading are more difficult for your child and personalize instruction to fill those gaps. We use a compassionate, child-centered approach that allows our tutors to adapt to their learning styles and interests!

When Can I Expect to See Improvement in My Child’s Grades?

Every child learns and retains information in their own time frame. Some may catch on to certain topics fairly quickly, while others may take longer to comprehend certain subject matters. While there is no one-size-fits-all formula, our tutors will always strive to help learners strengthen their academic skill set as efficiently and thoroughly as possible.

How Do I Know if My Child Needs a Reading Tutor?

If your child’s teacher has reached out with concerns, your child’s grades are slipping, or if they become emotional (frustrated, angry, sad) about their ability to read, contact BTA! We can perform a diagnostic assessment to see where they’re struggling and develop a strategic plan to take their reading skills to the next level.
