Academic Support

Our tutoring staff is comprised of educators certified in a variety of Orton-Gillingham based programs, such as Wilson Reading System and Project Read. Our tutors are required to maintain certification in the various Structured Literacy programs in order to ensure that lessons are delivered with fidelity and therefore, lead to better outcomes for our clients. All of our instructional intervention programs have strong “Science of Reading” credentials, such as The Writing Revolution and Developing Metacognitive Skills. As such, we are uniquely equipped to provide multimodal lessons to build literacy, math, written expression and study skills. 

 

We do not use a “cookie-cutter” program, as each student is unique. Instead, we determine the best approach for each student based on their individual needs. Informal assessment is conducted during the first session in order to determine the roadmap of instruction, e.g., is the student struggling to accurately decode and encode, and which phonetic concepts are in need of instruction. We charge an hourly tutoring rate, and unlike others, we do not require that you sign a contract for a specific amount of sessions.
