Middle school throws increasingly sophisticated reading challenges at students just when they're least interested in sitting still. Our classroom teachers know exactly how to bridge this gap.
- Text Complexity Navigation
- Finding Books That Don't Suck
- From Literal to Inferential Thinking
- Academic Vocabulary Expansion
- Note-Taking That Actually Helps
- Literary Analysis Without the Eye-Rolling
- Reading Across All Subject Areas
Why Teachers Make the Best Tutors
Unlike traditional tutors, our team consists of certified teachers who are active in the classroom
This means your child gets more than just homework help - they get an experienced educator who:
- Uses proven teaching methods that match your child's learning style
- Knows today's curriculum and classroom expectations
- Spots and fixes learning gaps other tutors might miss
- Teaches strategies your child can use both in tutoring and at school
- Builds confidence while building skills
We founded Teachers Who Tutor because we saw how powerfully students respond to one-on-one attention from experienced teachers.
As class sizes grow and curriculum speeds up, having a certified teacher as your tutor makes all the difference.
What We Actually Fix
✓ Turning "I don't get this book" into "Let me explain what this means"
✓ Transforming random highlighting into strategic annotation
✓ Converting skimming and fake-reading into actual comprehension
✓ Replacing "I'm bored" with genuine engagement with texts
✓ Building stamina for longer, more complex reading assignments
Our Middle School Reading Approach Includes:
- Strategies for tackling different text types (literature, science, history, etc.)
- Teachers who specialize in middle grades literacy development
- Scheduling that doesn't add to your family's chaos
- Both virtual and in-person options that actually engage preteens
- Techniques for managing longer reading assignments
- Vocabulary building that sticks, not weekly word lists
- Real help with those suddenly complex homework texts
Why Our Reading Teachers Get Through to Middle Schoolers
- They Speak Middle School: They understand the delicate balance of pushing without preaching
- They Go Beyond "Sound It Out": They teach sophisticated comprehension strategies for complex texts
- They Make Connections: They help students see how reading skills transfer across subjects
- They Choose Engaging Materials: They know how to find texts that actually interest reluctant readers
- They Build Independence: They develop skills that work at home, not just during tutoring sessions
