Miami-Dade Alignment
Tutoring that matches the work your child sees at school.
Kendall readers come home with iReady tasks, FAST reading practice, and Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) B.E.S.T. benchmark work. Sessions at Leannas Learners are built to extend that same framework - not replace it with a different curriculum your child has to learn on top.
- Phonics and decoding sequenced against the K-2 science-of-reading progression M-DCPS uses.
- Fluency and comprehension work shaped around 3rd-5th grade FAST passage types.
- Vocabulary and retell practice pulled from the same text complexity as the classroom.
- Clear updates after each session so parents can connect tutoring to teacher feedback.
Why Families Choose Leanna
Why Kendall parents search for a reading tutor in the first place.
Most Kendall families reach out when reading has started to feel harder than it should - when a bright child is still guessing at words, avoiding books, or pulling lower than expected iReady or FAST scores.
Help for strong-on-paper, shaky-in-practice readers
Some Kendall students keep up in class but freeze on independent reading tasks. Sessions target the real gap so confidence catches up with grade level.
Targeted FAST and iReady support
Instruction is aligned with the M-DCPS reading skills your child is measured on - not generic worksheets pulled from the internet.
A tutor who explains things in plain language
Parents leave knowing exactly what was practiced, what improved, and what goal comes next - no teacher-speak, no vague updates.
Flexible across Kendall schedules
Pick in-person sessions near your home or switch to online when soccer practice, traffic on Kendall Drive, or a tight week get in the way.
Support Options
Three ways Kendall students work with Leannas Learners.
Some readers need deep 1-on-1 attention. Some thrive with a sibling or friend at a similar level. Others need the convenience of a live online session. Instruction stays personalized in every format.
Option 01
1-on-1 in-person tutoring
Direct coaching with full attention on your child - the best fit for readers who need close feedback or who shut down in bigger groups.
- Phonics, decoding, and word attack for K-2 foundations
- Fluency and comprehension work for grades 3-5
- Regular written updates after every session
Option 02
Online reading tutoring
Live, guided sessions from home - same tutor, same lesson plan, no drive. A strong fit for Kendall families juggling sports and siblings.
- Interactive tools and shared on-screen passages
- Flexible weekday evening and weekend slots
- Easy switch back to in-person when schedules ease up
Option 03
Small-group (2-3 students)
Lower-cost option for siblings, classmates, or friends at similar reading levels who do well with shared momentum.
- Structured routines with individual feedback
- Great for kids who get energy from peer practice
- Same progress tracking as 1-on-1

FAQ
Kendall parent questions, answered up front.
If you are comparing reading tutors in Kendall, these are the details most families want to know before booking a first session.
Do you tutor kids from schools like Calusa, Winston Park, or Jane S. Roberts K-8?
Yes. Students from Calusa Elementary, Kendale Lakes Elementary, Winston Park K-8, Jane S. Roberts K-8, Snapper Creek, Joe Hall, and Coral Reef Elementary are all common. Sessions stay aligned with M-DCPS benchmarks so what happens in tutoring reinforces what happens at school.
Can you help my child prep for FAST reading or iReady?
Yes. Sessions can focus on the skills FAST and iReady actually measure - decoding accuracy, fluency rate, main idea, inference, vocabulary in context - instead of generic test prep drills. The goal is stronger reading first, with better scores as a natural result.
Where in Kendall do you see students?
In-person availability covers most of Kendall, including ZIPs 33156, 33173, 33176, 33183, 33186, 33193, and 33196. Families outside that range or with tight schedules can use live online tutoring instead.
My child is a strong reader but we want to stretch them. Is that a fit?
Yes. Many Kendall students are at or above grade level and come to Leannas Learners for enrichment - deeper comprehension, harder text, magnet-application prep, or writing about what they read. Sessions adjust to match.
Can Kendall families start online and move to in-person later?
Absolutely. Some families begin online for convenience, then switch to in-person once the child and tutor have a rhythm. Both formats follow the same personalized plan.
How quickly will I hear back after reaching out?
Most families get a recommendation within one business day, including available session times and whether in-person or online makes more sense for the schedule.
