Miss Betsy's Place

Miss Betsy's Place A Teaching/Learning Studios With 2 convenience locations: Midlothian, VA & Powhatan, VA Most of my students are dyslexic or have processing issues.

I have opened a wonderful tutoring studio in order to teach and inspire the love of learning in my students! I offer sessions, with a focus on phonics, decoding skills (reading), encoding skills (spelling) and writing skills. My niche is working with elementary students who struggle with reading and writing. Interviews and screenings of new students are mornings, by appointment only. Lessons and m

y teaching approaches consider "the whole child.” We will not only focus on academic success; we will focus on the theory that hard work and the development of an inner initiative equates to all types of success! My philosophy is simple: “Success comes from within!”

Most important is the ability to read. To that end, I offer phonics/decoding/reading and writing/encoding/spelling lessons. I encourage my students to find a comfortable reading pace, so that their comprehension improves. For those with dysgraphia, I teach my students how to use technology, speech to text (Word Dictation) and how to edit their work in order to produce a wonderful final copy. I teach proper penmanship, spelling and writing skills. I offer writing lessons, which focus on grammar and sentence structure. In order to succeed, a student must be organized! I also offer time management, organizational skills and study skills. Homework is the student's responsibility! All students need to learn how to handle their workloads. My tutoring sessions are 50 minutes long. This summer’s tutoring schedule is being developed (June, July, and August.) Morning sessions begin at 10:00am and the last session of the day is from 4:00-4:50pm, Monday ~ Thursday. Please call and inquire about dates and times for your child. Drop-off and pick-up must be punctual.

74% is a number we need to pay attention to. Research found that 74% of children who were poor readers in Grade 3 remained poor readers in Grade 9. This does NOT mean Grade 3 is a point of no return. It does remind us why waiting for a child to “catch up” on their own is not a plan. Earlier is b...
