Reading tutor in Lake Worth Beach

Lake Worth Beach is home base. I teach reading, writing, and study skills to kids here, in person or online, and I also serve nearby Lantana and Lake Clarke Shores. Families with a Unique Abilities Scholarship (FES-UA) or a Personalized Education Program (PEP) account can often pay through Step Up.

Where we can meet

  • Your homeIn Lake Worth Beach, Lantana, or Lake Clarke Shores, when the schedule allows
  • Lake Worth Beach City Library15 North M Street, downtown. A quiet public space; it does not list bookable study rooms.
  • Lantana Road Branch, Palm Beach County Library System4020 Lantana Road. Study rooms are first come, first served.
  • OnlineAnywhere in Florida, with the same lesson structure.

Each library sets its own rules for study rooms and tutoring, and I follow them. Farther than about 30 minutes from Lake Worth Beach, we meet online.

Local families

Free local resources that pair well with tutoring. Check each one's schedule before you go.

A reading tutor close to home

Lake Worth Beach is my home base, so families here get the most scheduling flexibility. Sessions can happen in your home, at a quiet public spot nearby, or online, and they follow the same calm structure each time.

Kindergarten through 6th grade. Online sessions start in 1st grade. Families usually come for help with sounding out words, spelling, reading comprehension, writing, or keeping schoolwork organized.

Neighborhoods I serve

I serve families all over the city, from the historic streets near downtown to the quieter blocks west of Dixie Highway. That includes College Park, Mango Groves, Parrot Cove, Bryant Park, South Palm Park, Tropical Ridge, and Sunset Ridge.

West of I-95, I also serve families along Lake Worth Road and 10th Avenue North. If you are not sure whether your street is close enough for in-person sessions, ask on the fit call.

Getting to sessions

Short drives help sessions start on time. From home base, the Lake Worth Beach City Library downtown is roughly 7 to 12 minutes away, and the Lantana Road Branch library is roughly 13 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. These are estimates, not promises.

For in-home sessions, I come to you, so the only drive is mine. For families farther out, online sessions keep the same routine without the commute.

Lantana and Lake Clarke Shores

Lantana sits just south of Lake Worth Beach, a few minutes down Dixie Highway or I-95. Lake Clarke Shores is just to the west, along Forest Hill Boulevard and Florida Mango Road. Both are within easy reach for in-person sessions.

Families in Lantana can also use the Lantana Public Library on West Ocean Avenue, which runs children’s programs like story time and a kids’ book club.

Homeschool families nearby

Homeschool and PEP families often want steady reading support that fits around their own plan. I can work alongside your curriculum, focus on the skills your child needs most, and share progress notes you can use for your Student Learning Plan.

There is no homeschool co-op based only in Lake Worth Beach that I can point to yet, but countywide groups hold park days and meetups that families here attend. See the homeschool learning support page for how tutoring fits a parent-directed program.

Schools and schedules

Lake Worth Beach students attend schools in the School District of Palm Beach County, plus several private and charter schools nearby. With your permission, I am glad to share strategies with your child’s teacher, so school and tutoring point in the same direction.

The rules are the same across Palm Beach County, and my independent guide explains them in plain language.

Questions from Lake Worth Beach parents

Usually in your home or online. We can also meet at a nearby public library when its rules allow. We pick the best spot together on the fit call.

Yes. Both are a short drive from home base, so in-person sessions are usually possible. Online sessions are always an option too.

Weekdays 9 am to 3:30 pm. Weekends by arrangement. Daytime sessions work well for homeschool and PEP families. The availability note on this page shows what is open right now.
