Does This Sound Like Your Child?

Spells the same word differently each time
Learns the list for Friday and forgets it by Monday
Writes words the way they sound, like sed for said
Avoids words they cannot spell, even in their own stories
Mixes up letters that look alike
Spelling mistakes make their writing hard to read

How Our Tutors Teach Spelling

1Find the First GapYour tutor checks which sounds and spelling patterns your child already knows, so lessons start where your child is.

2Sounds FirstYour child hears each sound in a word and matches it to letters, using letter tiles they move on screen.

3One Pattern at a TimeEach lesson teaches one spelling pattern or rule clearly, with plenty of practice, then reviews the ones before it.

4Tricky Words, Made MemorableWords that break the rules are learned a few at a time, with pictures, stories and tracing.

Questions Parents Ask

Is there a spelling 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.

Why does my child forget spelling words by Monday?

Lists learned by heart fade fast. Our spelling tutors teach the sounds and patterns behind words, so the spelling holds.

Can you use my child's school spelling list?

Yes. We teach the pattern behind each word on the list, so your child can spell new words that follow it too.

Does this help kids with dyslexia?

Yes. Spelling taught by sounds and patterns, step by step, is the approach that suits kids with dyslexia.

What ages do you teach?

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

How will I know spelling is improving?

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