Ashley’s proudest moments are seeing how much her students grow and develop through tutoring.
Ashley Furst offers three favorite tips for students who struggle with reading and memorization. The first tip is to use musical mnemonics by singing science, history, and vocabulary words to a song of their choice. This allows the student to make connections between the lyrics and the material they are trying to learn. The second tip is for students still learning how to read, look for mini words hiding inside larger words that help them sound it out. For parents of students who do not enjoy reading, the third tip is to create a story about the student with their picture at the top so that it is more personally engaging. By using these techniques, Ashley Furst believes that learning can be fun and interactive while increasing comprehension skills and memorization abilities.
