In-Person Tutoring

We provide appropriate reading and spelling remediation in a caring and supportive environment. We tailor our lessons to meet the student’s own pace, and continually assess for mastery of the material to ensure the continued success of the student.

A screener and one of our qualified tutors come to your house to meet you and your child and to conduct a short free screening with the student. This allows us to determine the best path forward for the student.

We use a variety of programs depending on the student’s needs.  The primary program we use is the Orton-Gillingham-based program called The Barton Reading & Spelling System.  These programs have been proven effective by independent scientific research*, and are recommended by leading experts as well as the International Dyslexia Association.

The tutor works with the student at least two times per week. This can be done at a variety of locations, including your home.

*It is important to ensure that any reading program you consider is proven effective by scientific, independent, replicated reading research.
