Find the best private spelling tutor in Old Town

A small set of patterns explains the majority of the words students write each day.

• I before E, except after C: words like piece and chief keep the pattern, but deceive flips it after C.
• Silent E: a final E often lengthens the vowel, turning hop into hope and bit into bite.
• Y to I: change Y to I before adding a suffix, so happy becomes happier and carry becomes carried.
• Doubling consonants: the 1-1-1 pattern doubles the last letter in words like stop, sit, and plan.
• Plurals with S or ES: add ES after S, X, Z, CH, and SH sounds, giving boxes, dishes, and buses.

A private tutor shows which rule applies to the words a student keeps missing.

Spelling improves fastest when practice connects letters to the sounds they represent.

• Sound mapping: segment words syllable by syllable before writing them down.
• Word families: learning one pattern unlocks dozens of related words at once.
• Multisensory practice: say the word, write it by hand, and check it, so three senses reinforce the same memory.
• Spaced review: short daily dictation beats one long cram session before a test.

With a tutor, progress is tracked word by word and confidence grows quickly.
