South Coast Tutoring provides a learning instructional program for elementary
and junior high school children, based on the Lindamood-Bell Learning
Processes™. The purpose is for intensive reading and language
acquisition on an individual basis.
My services are also focused on the homeschooling and home-centered learning community. I've worked with many who do home education or parent-led education to assist in reading tutoring for their grade school age children. If you are a parent who provides home-based education or participate in a homeschool community of other family-led educators, my tutoring services may be of interest to you. I am also available to provide seminars and workshops on reading tutoring, reading assessment, learning problems, or reading literacy to Orange County and Southern California parents who home school their children.

Two programs are currently available: Regular or intensive instruction - two hours per session After initial assessment and consultation with parents, the frequency and duration of tutoring sessions will be determined. |

Common elements of either program

How the program works
By phone, and during the initial consultation appointment,
we'll determine together whether my services could benefit your
child. I'll first inquire about their school performance, cognitive
abilities, learning styles, and behavioral patterns. I'll answer
questions you have about my qualifications and the various Lindamood-Bell™
programs I offer in tutoring, language acquisition, reading comprehension,
and writing instruction. If we agree that my services could benefit
your child, I'll schedule a time to meet with you and your child
for the initial consultation and testing. I prefer to do this at
either your home or the child's school. As the first step in the
program, I like to structure the initial consultation as a way for
your child and I to get to know each other better. I've found that
the rapport I develop during this initial meeting is critical to
them trusting me and for their growth and learning during the program.
I'll also give you a formal overview of the program we've decided
on and a proposed tutoring instructional plan. If we decide
to move forward, we'll decide on the dates and times that work best
for our respective schedules.

The Lindamood-Bell
™ Program
My current work
with learning-challenged elementary school children required that
I learn more about the Lindamood-Bell™ program. During four years
of working with the material, I've been very pleased with children's
results during a typical 2 month treatment plan. The Lindamood-Bell
Learning Processes™ assist students in becoming proficient
learners. The instruction is based on improving a student's ability
in phonemic awareness and visual imagery within the language
processing areas. The specific focus is on developing the sensory-cognitive
processes that underlie reading, spelling, language comprehension,
math, and visual motor skills. It is common for individuals to gain
several grade levels in decoding ability in four to six weeks
of intensive treatment. South
Coast Tutoring is not licensed,
monitored, or sponsored by Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes, Inc.™,
Nanci Bell, Phyllis Lindamood, or Pat Lindamood.
