Individual tutors are an excellent option for many students.

Unlike teachers and professors that need to focus their time on the entire classroom and teach in a way that benefits the majority, private tutoring focuses on the individual. This can be especially helpful if a student’s learning style and an instructor’s teaching style clash. That’s why the first step at Gold Star Tutoring is learning about the student that is seeking our help.

Tutors in a private setting have the opportunity to learn about how an individual student best learns and processes information. They can then present coursework in a way that is easier for the student to understand, and then challenge them to use this new knowledge in new ways. From Washington State History to AP Calculus, we have proficient tutors waiting to help in any subject.

Dyslexia Tutoring with Gold Star Tutoring

Tutoring services can make all the difference in a child’s education. As many as one in five young students experience persistent difficulty reading despite good intelligence, motivation, and schooling. Students who struggle with reading, writing, spelling, comprehension, and vocabulary growth at their grade level could have a degree of Dyslexia. It’s not always obvious when someone experiences Dyslexia. It can actually go undetected for years in children without their parents or guardians noticing. Because it’s complex and doesn’t present itself in a way that’s visible to others, people unfamiliar with the symptoms may not know what to look for.

With her team of certified teachers, Gold Star Tutoring has developed its own language program, complete with 5 different levels of phonetic advancement. Our system has supported hundreds of struggling readers with all varying levels of language delays. The public school teaches a “whole language approach,” which is sight word recognition. Gold Star Tutoring found a need for a more tactical, multisensory approach that students with poor memory processing can retain and bring the skills forward in their daily lives. We have transformed the lives of many students struggling with improper handwriting pathways, letter orientation (b/d & p/q confusion), and all levels of decoding and phonemic (sound) awareness. The students some people thought were slow learners become bright pupils that have the chance to realize their full potential!

Home School Tutoring & Alternative Schooling Students

Not every student attends public schools. Some go to private schools with a personalized focus area or are home schooled.

And others come as foreign exchange students or are degree-seeking international ESL students. These students may face additional challenges because they are not familiar with the traditional public school system like many of their peers are. Whether they’re excelling or need a little extra help, our tutors are standing by to offer assistance. We welcome students of all backgrounds at Gold Star Tutoring and work alongside parents, guardians, and schools to provide the best possible learning experience for each and every one of our students.

SAT Tutoring, SAT Prep, and Standardized Test Preparation Assistance

The SAT, ACT, AP tests, and college placement exams are important and can greatly influence a student’s career path.

Whether a student is struggling in a particular area or excels and wants to do the best they possibly can, our one-on-one tutoring can help. Tutors are familiar with SAT/ACT prep as well as the ALEKS Placement Exam that many colleges and universities around the country have adopted. Our goal is to assist students in any way that we can, so they don’t just get by; they thrive! Available to students throughout the Vancouver metro area, call or contact Gold Star Tutoring today to set up an appointment with one our helpful tutors.
