How it Works
We specialize in teaching struggling readers to decode the English language.
In order to become fluent readers and good spellers, students need strong foundational skills in phonological awareness, phonics and fluency.
Our private reading tutors use multisensory, evidence-based instruction, including Orton-Gillingham methods and materials, to teach students the skills they're missing.
Watch your student's confidence soar as their reading improves and spelling becomes easy!

Reading Tutoring Over Zoom?
We’ve found that even students who hated Zoom school thrive in our sessions as they work 1:1 with their tutor.
Our private reading tutors use multisensory activities, “word games” (phonological exercises) and decodable books so your child will be successful and experience the thrill of being able to read.
Students are happy, engaged, and most importantly, they’re learning to read and spell.
Still wondering whether our program is right for your student?

What Sets Our Private Reading Tutors Apart?
We don’t use outdated (but still very common) methods to teach students to read. We don't teach students to guess at words based on pictures or context clues and we don't use leveled readers.
Instead, our private reading tutors are highly trained in the Science of Reading. We use systematic, explicit, data-driven instruction and focus on phonological awareness, phonics, and fluency - the foundational skills students need in order to become fluent readers and good spellers. Plus, we use decodable passages and books that encourage students to sound words out rather than guess at them.
We offer high-intensity tutoring, three to five times per week, so you can move past the reading and spelling struggles. We want your student to get caught up to their peers and “graduate” from our program as quickly as possible!

Our Families
Most of our families come to us through word-of-mouth recommendations - whether they're siblings, cousins, friends or classmates of current or past students and families, or referrals from trusted psychologists. This trust is reflected in the strong bonds our students form with their tutors. Even after they've "graduated" from our program, students and families often stay in touch and share school and family updates, vacation photos and holiday cards. Here are a few testimonials.
