Does This Sound Like Your Child?

Guesses at words from the first letter or the picture

Loses the thread of a story they read alone
Avoids books or says reading is boring
Reads below the level of their class

How Our Tutors Teach Reading

1Find the Starting PointIn the first session your tutor checks which sounds and word types your child knows, so lessons start where your child is, not where their grade is.

2Phonics in a Clear OrderOne sound or spelling pattern at a time, taught clearly and practiced until it sticks, then reviewed with the ones before it. Our tutors are trained in Orton-Gillingham.

3Smooth Reading Every SessionShort passages read more than once, so your child hears themselves get faster and more confident.

4Understand What They ReadTalk about the story, retell it and guess what happens next, with books about what your child loves.

Questions Parents Ask

Is there a reading tutor near me?

You do not need one nearby. Sessions are live, one-to-one and online (virtual tutoring by video), so a trained tutor comes to you wherever you live in the US, with no driving.

Do you teach phonics?

Yes. Every reading tutor here teaches phonics in a clear order, one sound or spelling pattern at a time, with letter tiles your child moves on screen. Our tutors are trained in Orton-Gillingham.

Can you help with reading comprehension?

Yes. Once words flow, sessions add reading comprehension: talking about the story, retelling it and finding answers in the text.

Does my child need a dyslexia diagnosis?

No. Tell us what you notice at home or school. Many families start without one.

What ages do you teach?

Ages 3 to 12, from Pre-K to Grade 7.

How will I know reading is improving?

A short note after every session, Practice at Home to do together, and a progress summary every 1 week.
