Reading-tutoring goals, materials and progress-review workbook
Reading-tutoring proposals are easier to compare when every tutor receives the same non-sensitive picture of the learner's reading contexts, current materials, observable strengths, areas where support is wanted and preferred progress-review handoff. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai organizes those questions without assessing a learner, prescribing instruction or promising an outcome.

Preparation and tutor comparison only, not a reading assessment, diagnosis, intervention, curriculum, accommodation, special-education plan, school-record process, safeguarding procedure, credential rule, contract or legal advice. The Department of Education resources listed below do not prescribe a private tutoring plan, and this workbook does not claim FERPA governs a private tutor. Qualified educators and authorized school teams address individual needs and applicable requirements.

How to use this resource
Use neutral labels such as Learner A, Material A and Reading Task A. Describe what is observed during reading, what materials are currently used and what the learner hopes to do more comfortably. Ask each tutor to explain how they would review the starting point, select a focus, coordinate permitted materials, structure sessions, document progress and communicate. Keep names, school identifiers, assessments, disability or medical information, account credentials and education records out of this workbook and a public request.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
PLAN REVIEW, SESSIONS AND MATERIALS

Questions for the reading tutor
- How will you review the learner's reading context and starting point before proposing a plan?
- Which reading areas would you explore first, and how will you explain that focus?
- How will current books, assignments or other permitted materials be coordinated?
- What will a typical session include, and how will learner feedback shape later sessions?
- What progress evidence or session summary will be shared, with whom and how often?
- What is included, optional or excluded, and what remains for a school or specialist?

Share a non-sensitive reading-context, materials and progress-review brief so participating pros can compete with proposals. Compare relevant experience, starting-point review, session approach, communication, progress evidence, scheduling, exclusions and fit. Never include a learner's name, school identifier, assessment, disability or medical information, account credentials or education records in the request.
Start a new request ↗Participation and availability vary. A private learner-needs and tutor-led starting-point conversation may be needed before a final proposal.
Keep the useful part.
