Dyslexia isn't a vision problem or a sign of low intelligence — it's a language-based learning difference that affects how the brain processes written words. Students with dyslexia need structured literacy instruction: systematic, explicit, multisensory teaching that builds phonological awareness, decoding, encoding, and fluency from the ground up.
Our tutors use Orton-Gillingham methodology — the gold standard for dyslexia intervention. Sessions follow a structured sequence but adapt to your child's pace. Each session includes multisensory practice: seeing words, hearing sounds, tracing letters, building with manipulatives. This isn't the "try harder" approach that failed your child in school. It's instruction designed for how their brain actually works.
Progress builds systematically. First, your child masters the sound-symbol relationships they've been missing. Then they apply those patterns to decode unfamiliar words. Then reading becomes more automatic, freeing up mental energy for comprehension. For students who decode adequately but struggle with comprehension, we also offer reading comprehension support. Most families see measurable improvement within 8-12 weeks — but the goal is lasting skill, not temporary gains.
Why families choose specialist tutoring over generalists
Most reading tutors — and most school reading programs — use approaches designed for typical learners who are simply behind. They assume the student will eventually "click" with enough practice. For dyslexic students, this approach fails. More of the same instruction that isn't working won't suddenly start working. Dyslexia requires a fundamentally different approach.
Our dyslexia tutors are trained in structured literacy and Orton-Gillingham methodology. They understand phonological processing, orthographic mapping, and why your child struggles with spelling even when they seem to read okay. They know the difference between a decoding problem and a fluency problem. Most importantly, they know how to remediate — not just accommodate — dyslexia.

Common questions
What is Orton-Gillingham and why does it matter?
Orton-Gillingham is a structured, multisensory approach to teaching reading that was specifically designed for students with dyslexia. It's systematic (following a logical sequence), explicit (nothing is left to chance), and multisensory (using sight, sound, and touch together). Research consistently shows it's more effective for dyslexic learners than traditional reading instruction.
My child's school says they provide reading intervention. Why would I need a tutor?
Most school reading interventions aren't designed for dyslexia. They're designed for students who are behind but learn typically. Dyslexic students need structured literacy instruction from someone trained specifically in how dyslexia affects reading. Many schools simply don't have staff with this training — it's not a criticism, it's a resource gap.
How long does it take to see progress?
Most families see measurable improvement within 8-12 weeks of consistent sessions. That said, dyslexia remediation is a marathon, not a sprint. The goal isn't just to catch up temporarily — it's to build the foundational decoding skills your child will use for life. We'll give you honest timelines based on where your child is starting.
My child is in middle school. Is it too late for reading intervention?
It's not too late. While earlier intervention is ideal, we work with students through high school. Older students often make faster progress because they have more cognitive resources to apply — they've just never had the right instruction. The brain remains plastic, and structured literacy works at any age.
