Q:  Do you work with students that have been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, etc.
A:  Yes, this is one of my specialty areas.  I am experienced working with students that are in a resource room setting, or Title I Reading, or Reading Recovery.  I am experienced in reading and following an IEP.
Q:  What professional reading resources do you use?

Q:  Will there be homework assigned?
A:   Yes.  Depending on the age of the student and skill level, work will be assigned for the student to complete at home.
Q:  What is my parental role in your "team" approach to tutoring ("Team" is defined as student, parent(s), the tutor, and possibly school personnel.)
A:   Parental help on assignment only if indicated by the tutor, transportation, payment,  developing a reward list with your child, feedback about student success, work habits, or concerns.
Q:   How do we start this tutoring relationship?
A:   Call me at 319-358-1405 or e-mail me at sueluloff@gmail.com.  We then set up a one-time initial meeting for the team.  I do some initial assessment during this 1-2 hour appointment with your child present.
       I ask parents to bring along copies of teacher report cards, professional assessments (school or private), samples of current work being done at school in the problem area(s).  The charge for the initial consultation:  $50 for 1 1/2 hours and $70 for 2 hours (consult fee due the day of the initial meeting).
       In follow-up sessions for the first month I continue to assess the student to fine-tune program development best suited for your child's needs.
Q:  Do you have references?
A:  References are available upon request.
Q:  How many years of experience do you have?  A:  Over 25 years.
