Tutors can tutor one on one or in groups. The beauty of tutoring in groups is that the tutor can make significantly more money. Not all tutors agree on this idea are charging the same amount when adding more students because they see their time as money and that is how much money they should make. This brings us to an interesting conversation with many viewpoints and perspectives. I enjoyed having the conversation to understand deeper what drives people to price their services the way that they when adding other students.

According to a study from Harvard University, 85% of the skills you need to be successful in any job include soft skills. Often times as we think about starting a tutoring business we focus on how to get students, take payment, and tutor. We rarely focus on the soft skills that will make us more desirable to work with.

The science of reading may be a familiar or unfamiliar term for you. Today I am going to dive deeper into what is the science of reading and how do we use it to inform our instruction. Louisa Moats said Teaching reading is rocket science. This means that it is complicated, but if we know what the main components are and the best strategies to teach those components, we gain clarity on what we need to do for all kids to get them reading. According to the NAEP, 65% of the students in the United States are below grade level. If the science of teaching reading and a student's zone of proximal development are matched, we can easily close this gap and create more proficient readers regardless if they have dyslexia or not.
