To Whom it May Concern:
I am a teacher and the director of a tutoring service, Champion Tutoring, located in Charlottesville. Through a few community members, I had the pleasure of learning about Piper Martin’s unique methods of teaching reading.
On October 9, 1994, Piper invited me to observe her tutoring a young student, in the second grade. She had an excellent rapport with the child and had implemented a motivational system that was very effective.
Her teaching methods emphasize comprehension. She provided instruction that built off the child’s previous success. She maintains a library of enticing books that she uses in conjunction with school literature. She reviewed new concepts and built on the student’s personal life experience. The stories came alive for the student.
I would highly recommend Piper’s services as a reading teacher. Her methods are both fun and challenging. I intend to employ these methods within the reading curriculum offered through Champion Tutoring. Reading is a fundamental skill that should be mastered and found to be enjoyable. I believe that Piper’s methods will accomplish those very goals.
Most Sincerely,
Audrey K.
Executive Director
