      Yes. Our kindergarten sessions are 30 minutes \u2014 specifically designed for this age group\u2019s attention span. Tutors use interactive activities, visual prompts, and engaging exercises to keep your child focused and learning. It\u2019s not a lecture \u2014 it\u2019s a conversation with hands-on participation.<\/p>\n

      [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Do I need to sit with my child during the session?” admin_label=”Do I need to sit with my child during the session?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

      For the first session or two, we recommend a parent be nearby to help your child get comfortable with the format. After that, most children are confident working independently with their tutor. You\u2019re always welcome to listen in, but you won\u2019t need to manage the session.<\/p>\n

      Our tutors are trained to work with pre-readers. Sessions use visual prompts, interactive whiteboard activities, verbal instruction, and hands-on exercises designed for children who are just beginning their reading journey. No reading ability is required to start.<\/p>\n

      Every student starts with a diagnostic assessment that establishes a baseline. You\u2019ll receive regular progress reports tracking specific milestones like letter recognition, sight words, number fluency, and more. Your tutor also communicates directly with you about your child\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

      Your child needs a tablet or laptop with a camera and microphone, plus Zoom installed. A quiet space with a stable internet connection is ideal. That\u2019s it \u2014 we handle everything else.<\/p>\n

      Sessions are available Monday through Saturday, during school hours, after school, and evenings. Daytime sessions are popular with homeschool families. We\u2019ll match your child with a tutor who fits your family\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n
