What does a Reading tutor cover?

Reading is a set of skills that build on each other: hearing the sounds in words, decoding them, reading smoothly, and understanding what the words mean. All of our reading tutors teach with All About Reading, a structured, multisensory curriculum based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, and every tutor connects sessions to what your child is reading in school.

Every child learns to read on their own timeline. Your tutor follows your child's needs, class, and goals rather than a generic script.

Reading tutoring for kids and teens

It is never too late to become a stronger reader. Progress at any age makes every other subject easier.

Children come to reading tutoring at many ages and for many reasons. We work with them wherever they are.

How our Reading tutoring works

Better grades, and more: confidence, independence, less stress, and readiness for what comes next.

Talk with us

An enrollment director learns about your child, their schoolwork, and what is getting in the way.

Get matched

We pair your student with a tutor suited to their level and how they learn.

Fill the gaps

Early sessions find and fix the missing pieces, so your student has a solid foundation to build on.

Keep pace each week

Sessions focus on current homework, assignments, quizzes, and tests, so new material lands on solid ground.

Build independence

The goal is a student who can tackle their work on their own, and who knows where to turn when the next challenge comes along.

Your family is busy. Tutoring should fit your schedule, not the other way around.

Reading tutors who know how children learn to read

Your student works with the same tutor every session, so progress builds instead of starting over.

Reading well is not the same as teaching reading. Our tutors know how to do both.

Yes. We teach reading to children of all kinds, including children with dyslexia. All of our reading tutors use the Orton-Gillingham approach, which is widely used with students who have dyslexia. Our tutors teach reading. They do not diagnose or treat dyslexia, so for questions about an evaluation, talk with your child's school or a qualified specialist.

Some common signs: reading much more slowly than classmates, avoiding reading, guessing at words, or finishing a page without remembering what it said. If reading is making school harder or causing frustration, a short call can help you decide.

A reading tutor finds where reading breaks down, whether that is sounding out words, reading smoothly, or understanding what was read, and teaches those skills one-to-one. Sessions also support the reading your child has in school.

Yes. Tutors teach strategies for finding the main idea, keeping track of details, making inferences, and summarizing, and practice them on the books and assignments your child has in class.
