K-12 grant tutors...eek!! Looking for a writing tutor for a rising 6-grader

Anonymous
I've been approved for the funds and now I just to have to get a tutor. The list isn't giving me a lot to go on since I want a tutor who does writing specifically and not reading. Any advice for how I can find a writing tutor?

Me too! I’m surprised more teachers in this area haven’t registered to be on the approved tutor list.

Contact the reading tutors and ask them if they can tutor writing only or writing as well as reading.

Does MD have this?

Probably just my opinion , but tutoring writing is a huge pain, compared to reading. The kids aren’t as into it, so it’s like pulling teeth. If you do get a writing tutor, make sure they start with a phonics inventory the first day. That we’ll help them assess any gaps that may be impeding your dc’s writing. Honestly, I’d just try to find a reading teacher.
