We first identify the root cause. For math, we check for gaps in number sense, operations, fractions, algebra foundations, or problem solving. For reading, we look at phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension strategies. Then we build a clear, step-by-step plan that fits how your child learns. Sessions combine direct instruction, guided practice, and review of schoolwork so skills transfer to class. Why this matters locally: across the Farmingdale district, about 56 percent of students meet math proficiency and about 48 percent meet reading proficiency. Nationwide, only 36 percent of fourth graders reach proficiency in reading. Targeted, one-to-one support can make a real difference in confidence, grades, and day-to-day homework.
