The book is based on the wisdom gained from working with
hundreds of students who have attended the author?s

English as a second language and those with a range of difficulties
including, special needs, motivational and attention problems.

book incorporates diagnostic assessment to measure what students
need at the outset of teaching, as well as measuring whether the
tutoring has been effective. Additional teaching strategies are
given to reinforce spelling and assist reading comprehension.

on reporting to parents are included, incorporating research on the
best tutoring methods.
