Mona and Paul opened Firefly Tutoring in 2012, and know first-hand the needs of the community because they have experienced them. This has helped them develop a particularly insightful perspective in understanding what scaffolding is needed to help each student thrive in our local schools. Their expertise, warm hearts, genuine care for children and mission to spread a love of learning is apparent in Firefly's high percentage of success stories.
Mona and Paul hire tutors who exhibit the same love of learning and care for the students, making the center a place of fun and community. We're delighted to have such a wonderful team of dedicated tutors from a variety of backgrounds!

Reading & Writing
Report
Many teaching programs assume that if we drop kids into a reading-rich environment they will pick up the rules of written language without a lot of explicit instruction. It works well enough for some kids - but for many, it just doesn't work. Many kids discover instead that they don't get it. They feel discouraged and begin to feel like giving up.
