Early reading tutor needed
My family is relocating from Berkeley to London in the summer, and my 5-year-old will be starting school there in the fall. Unfortunately after attending a Montessori/play-based pre-school for the past 2 years, he'll be playing catch-up with his peers at English schools, who started reading in Reception (aged 4/5) and will already be doing independent reading and writing by the end of this academic year. I need an early reading specialist to work with him weekly until our departure in order to get him closer to where he needs to be in September. Please send tutoring recommendations only! Thanks.

College student looking to become teacher and will just READ with him daily/every other day would be great to start right off. Colleges have posting sites. Cal might be close to you. I used St Mary's to find after school and summer child care and wished I'd started that many years earlier - I found incredibly loving, likeable (it's not supposed to seem like work to your child) and qualified young ladies.
Hi! My son needed extra help with reading in second grade and he worked with Bonnie, a former Crocker Highlands teacher in Oakland. She taught him strategies that really helped him leap forward. He is not only reading at grade level but he devours books now! I'm not sure if she will go to Berkeley but if you want to check, here's her email:
