Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) tutoring:

The Pre-Kindergarten tutoring lessons will provide your child with the skills that are necessary for elementary school such as reading, writing, and math. Children will learn how to problem-solve, become responsive listeners, and use language to learn, alongside social and collaborative skills through formal academics and play-based learning activities. Lana’s Cool school skill-building tutoring lessons will grow your child’s letter recognition and sound awareness for reading, will learn math sense, and will practice letter writing thus developing a curiosity for a deeper understanding of his/her world. Lana’s Cool school tutoring sessions focus on building a solid foundation in phonics skills. By mastering letter-sound relationships, decoding words, and understanding phonemic patterns, children gain the essential tools for reading success.
