What I enjoy most about tutoring 2nd grade reading is seeing their excitement as they connect with stories and grow in confidence. It’s gratifying to watch them develop the skills to write their essays, stories, and poems, and improve in school while using what they’ve read as inspiration to express their ideas creatively.
