Description: St Charles based Learning Ascent Corporation was founded in 2002 to offer better tutoring solutions. Our tutors have helped hundreds of students in St Charles and nearby communities. We make it easy for busy parents to find custom, professional tutoring for their children. Your child can immediately get the chance to succeed that she deserves. Learning Ascent professionals know and work with local school district curricula. Familiarity with the curriculum allows tutors to identify and correct the root of problems. We can even help your child to better comprehend and complete homework assignments. Big tutoring chains place students into "canned" systems to make tutoring easy for the tutors. Parents must pay for expensive diagnostic tests that are only necessary to "place" or "fit" the student into their existing system. The systems do not integrate with local school curriculum's and the student winds up with more work–over and above normal school work.

Need a little homework help? Maybe you're having difficulties in one of your classes? Adult going back to school? Or possibly you just want to learn something new! Whatever your needs, I'm available to help. I would love to help you reach your potential. If I don't teach your subject, I'll help you find someone who does.

I've been a classroom educator for over 20 years. I taught classroom Music, Band, Choir, First Grade and Beginning Computer courses at the college level during this time. I began tutoring before I started my college studies in education. I have tutored Reading and Reading Comprehension, Math through Algebra, English/Grammar/Phonics, World History, Science, Study Skills, and have provided Homework Help.

My graduate degree is in Elementary Education and Reading. I enjoy teaching Reading at any level. I have previously taught Reading privately, in small groups, and in the classroom at the first grade level. As my undergraduate degree is in Music Education, I have also taught Flute, Piano and led Bands.

It is my belief that two of the most important academic subjects are Reading and Math. Reading in Kindergarten through Second Grade is primarily reading to learn to read and reading for pleasure. However, beginning around Third grade, reading is used to learn other subjects. Students are expected to begin reading textbooks and other material. If they are not strong in Reading, the other subjects will be very difficult. Of course we use Math everyday of our lives - and Reading! - and for that reason alone Math is important. However, I'm often asked why it's necessary to learn so much Math and learn more advanced Math that isn't always found in everyday life. One reason is "the more you know, the farther you can go!" When you limit the information you learn, you are limiting your possibilities for the future. Math is found in so many other subjects and careers - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, Sculpture, Drawing, Music, Engineering - and the list goes on! Of course anything that uses the computer uses Math. Today, that's everywhere. Finally, using Math requires you to think logically and to use the skill in solving problems. It helps you be precise in thoughts and words.

Aside from reading, which is one of my favorite activities, I thoroughly enjoy water activities such as swimming, boating and white water rafting. In addition, I enjoy board games and card games. I frequently play poker online and watch televised games. And yes, I like puzzles. I like Word puzzles and Math puzzles. Sudoku puzzles can be a lot of fun and quite challenging.

Services INCLUDED in my hourly fee: 
-INDIVIDUALIZED instruction 
-Telephone assistance between lessons
-Communication with Teachers and Schools
-Communication with You
-A Learning Plan that is used to develop specific lesson goals

If you choose me as your tutor, you can expect 3 things of me: Prompt, Thorough, Prepared! In addition, you should expect that I will ask you to do work to be prepared for your lessons. I look forward to hearing from you so we can begin soon!

Reading

Reading is a complex process where the brain converts what the eyes see on a page into meaningful content.  It is necessary for a variety of everyday tasks from being able to order off of a menu to understanding a contract.  Despite the fact that reading is an essential part of the formal education process, many people do not learn how to read and even more struggle with reading proficiency.


Learning to Read

The process of learning how to read typically begins at an early age when parents begin reading to their children.  When parents read to their children, it helps them acquire important language skills and build their vocabulary.  However, formal reading instruction does not typically begin until elementary school.  The reading process requires mastering a set of skills, each of which builds on the previous.  It begins with learning the letters of the alphabet and the sounds those letters make.  As individuals learn to recognize the letters and the sounds they make they are able to put the letters and sounds together to create words, sentences and paragraphs.


Importance of Reading

Once someone learns how to read, they can use their newfound skills for a variety of purposes.  It is how children learn in school, and it is how individuals of all ages communicate in writing.  Being able to read is essential for academic and professional success as well as many other tasks that are necessary in life, including being able to complete a job application, understand a contract when applying for an apartment or a mortgage, read a newspaper article and more.  Individuals who cannot read or have difficulty reading are at a disadvantage compared to those who can.  People who don’t learn to read struggle in school, which frequently leads to poor grades, low self-esteem, behavioral problems and more.


Get Reading Help

As with many things in life, early detection of reading problems is critical.  When difficulties are detected early, they are easier to resolve and the negative impact is often lessened than when they are allowed to continue unidentified and untreated.  However, regardless of an individual’s age, it is never too late to learn how to read or improve their reading skills.  There are a variety of resources available to help people of all ages learn how to read, including:

  • Software.  Reading software provides individuals an opportunity to improve their reading skills at their own pace.  These programs teach the basic skills necessary to read.
  • Workbooks.  These activities help test students’ knowledge of what they have learned and identify areas where they need to improve, so they can focus their efforts appropriately.
  • Community-based literacy programs.  These programs offer structured curriculums that help people learn how to read.  Instruction can take place in a small group or one-on-one setting.
  • Reading tutors.  Private tutors offer the most individualized and customized approach for people who are struggling to learn how to read.
