Teachers, not Tutors

Most reading support centers employ tutors or non-credentialed staff to work with students. 

We use many elements, but the core program was created by one of the first fellows of the Orton-Gillingham Institute. The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a direct, explicit, multi-sensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling for beginners, those progressing, or those who need more time in foundational skills. Many school districts use this evidence-based and research-backed program, and over time, our former students have made multi-grade level jumps in reading, spelling, and writing skills using this curriculum. As important, they all grew in their confidence in the classroom and social environments. This program works for everyone, and we've seen that it's possible to make meaningful progress without spending hours per day with less effective methods, and parents having to pay tens of thousands of dollars. 

Virtual Note: Despite the common misconception that kids are not able to focus on a screen during instruction, our program and style have proven to be just as effective as in-person.
