Hello and Welcome!

Raj's Journey to Empower Your Child

I take complicated skills and break them down into their simplest form, so your child will understand concepts and skills that you and their teachers have been trying to get them to learn-I do this in a way that makes sense to them!

my mission is to teach foundational reading skills to elementary kids who may have been struggling with reading and spelling

Knowing your child struggles to read can leave you feeling frustrated and thinking you’re failing as a parent.  I struggled to read as a child. I was entering 5th-grade reading at a second-grade level and it took the determination of my mom to discover that I struggled to read. She got the help I needed, through 1:1 tutoring, and by the time I entered Middle School I was reading on grade level with my peers and loving reading! My confidence skyrocketed and I was more motivated to read on my own.

When I began my career as a second-grade teacher I noticed that lots of kids were struggling to read just like I did; I took this as a spiritual attack on our kids. This is when I decided to start The Lone Star Tutor, so I can help kids in kindergarten through grade four master letter sounds and fluency so that they can feel the confidence and motivation that I did going into middle school! 

Through this process, we will consult to determine your child’s current strengths and needs for growth in reading. This will help me to create a tailored plan to support your child and help them feel confident and motivated when reading. 

Let me help you talk to your child’s teacher, get your child motivated and feel confident in reading, and build on foundational reading skills that they struggle with to get them on grade level and beyond. 

I shared my story because...

I want you to know-It's not your fault your child struggles with reading.

Many students aren’t taught the essential foundational reading skills needed for fluent reading and comprehension.

Today’s early readers are often encouraged to rely on pictures, skip over words, and guess if they don’t know them – strategies that just don’t work when they encounter longer passages or stories. 

I'm here to help you break free from frustration, guilt, and your child's emotional breakdowns during reading time.

My dedicated team understands your child's specific needs

and our goal is to...

  • Replace doubt with belief
  • Alleviate the burden
  • Provide a clear path to success.   

That’s why I created our 12-week reading program, designed to take kids who are doubting their abilities & not feeling confident to Students who are confident readers and tackle books with ease, enjoying the process of reading.
