The goal of hiring a reading tutor is to improve your child's grades and vocabulary.

When hiring a reading tutor, parents are likely concerned about safety. To help you find a reading tutor safely near you in Amherst, OH, we ask all reading tutors listed on Care.com to complete a background check known as a CareCheck (look for a badge on their profile that shares when they had this background check run).

With the help of Care.com, you can find the best reading tutors for your child. You can find tutors for reading at all levels. From learning how phonics work to improving reading comprehension. Once your child gets older, you may even want to switch to a writing tutor who can help them develop their writing skills alongside their reading comprehension skills.
