Josh: Silicon Valley Reading tutor
Certified Reading Tutor in Silicon Valley, CA
My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

Thus, your child's ability to read can have a major impact on their future.
