Unlocking Potential, One Student at a Time
Fundamental Academic Skills Tutoring wasn't born out of a textbook, but out of a passion for learning ignited in a dedicated educator – Sandra Morton. For many years, Sandra walked the halls of Virginia classrooms, not just as a teacher and school librarian, but as a champion for students who struggle with foundational skills.
Beyond the Textbook: Embracing the Science of Learning
Sandra's story isn't one of traditional teaching methods. It's a story of going beyond the curriculum to understand the science behind how students learn best. Her Master's degree in Educational Brain Research fuels her commitment to learning proven methodologies--Barton Reading and Spelling System, the Orton-Gillingham approach, Wilson Reading and Spelling, and the Hill Learning Center's Science of Reading and Writing.
Decoding the Puzzle: Tailored Strategies for Each Child
Sandra understands that every child learns differently. She doesn't offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, she uses her expertise to identify each student's unique challenges, whether it's decoding skills, vocabulary, or grasping math concepts. Offering tutoring programs that rely on structured literacy strategies and the "science of math" approach, Sandra empowers students to not just memorize but to truly understand and apply what they learn.
More Than Just a Teacher: A Passionate Advocate
Sandra's dedication extends beyond her classroom walls. Her years long role as a Board Member for the Virginia Branch of the International Dyslexia Association shows her commitment to raising awareness and advocating for students with learning differences.
The City of Portsmouth Recognizes Excellence
Sandra's innovative approach and dedication to student success haven't gone unnoticed. In January 2024, she was awarded the City of Portsmouth's Smart Start Business Development grant, a testament to the potential for the positive impact that FAS Tutoring can make in that community.
Fundamental Academic Skills Tutoring isn't just about tutoring; it's about unlocking a child's potential to learn and thrive. With Sandra Morton at the helm, it's a journey guided by passion, expertise, and a deep understanding of the science of learning.
