Middle School Literacy

Forum's Middle School Literacy tutors bring exceptional classroom experience from elite private schools together with sophisticated understanding of adolescent literacy development. Selected through our extraordinarily selective process (accepting just 1 in 60 applicants), these distinguished educators approach literacy instruction through an integrated lens that addresses cognitive development, analytical thinking, and the social-emotional aspects of finding one's voice during these formative years. Each family works with a dedicated Educational Advisor who ensures an ideal tutor match while providing comprehensive guidance throughout their child's literacy development.

Our literacy support encompasses critical reading across genres, analytical writing, research skills, and creative expression. Tutors create dynamic learning experiences that develop technical proficiency while nurturing intellectual curiosity and personal connection to texts. This methodology helps students navigate the significant transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn," developing the sophisticated comprehension and expression skills essential for success in upper school humanities. Parents consistently share that our tutors not only improve academic outcomes but transform how their children engage with texts and express their ideas—developing confidence, clarity, and genuine enthusiasm for reading and writing across disciplines.
