We believe in a specialized approach to learning – with an emphasis on enrichment and intervention.
What We Believe
Quality matters.
Quality literacy instruction is desperately needed, starting with our youngest brains. A strong foundation in reading and writing is a lifelong investment - opening doors personally and professionally.
There is no one way to learn.
Children need specialized support for their specific needs. Setting goals and achieving benchmarks are important for their personal journey.
Compassion is the foundation.
We understand that many children come to us with anxiety around learning - our goal is to make it a positive experience in a safe environment.
Our Model
Our tutoring sessions are designed using a hands-on approach to learning where children learn by doing. We incorporate movement and tactile experiences into our learning to allow students to make connections with the material and the world around us. This is great for all types of learners!
We practice the gradual release model, "I do. We do. You do." What does this mean? First, the teacher models the task and writes the letter A, for example. Then, the teacher and child complete the task together. Finally, the child practices independently. This allows the child to grow academically while gaining their own self-confidence. Simple and effective!
Meet Jamie
Founder and Lead Tutor of Blooming Minds Tutoring | Orton-Gillingham Certified
This work is personal for me.
As a child, school was a struggle – learning to read and write did not come as easily as it did for other students in my class. It was through intervention support and meaningful 1 on 1 tutoring, that I found my own pace and confidence in the classroom. Forever changed from my tutoring experiences, I chose to pursue teaching in college, majoring in Unified Early Childhood Education and subsequently getting my Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership.
I know my story isn’t singular.
I have spent more than 8 years working with young children in public and private school settings, both as a teacher and administrator, most recently working as an Early Childhood Administrator. I have seen the necessity for additional support and the benefits of tutoring firsthand.
