Sound familiar?
You can see how hard your child is working
Parents often tell us the same things when they first call. If any of these ring true, you are in the right place.
Reading is slow and tiring
Every page takes real effort, and homework turns into a nightly battle.
Spelling falls apart
Words learned for Friday’s test are gone by Monday.
Other programs stalled
You have tried tutoring, apps or Orton-Gillingham and progress has levelled off.
Confidence is slipping
Your child has started to say “I can’t” or “I’m just not a reader.”
Our method
Speech to print: sounds first, then letters
We teach reading the way the brain learned language in the first place, starting from the sounds your child already speaks.
Using EBLI (Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction), every lesson connects sounds to spellings, then builds reading, spelling, writing and vocabulary together instead of in separate drills.
Family Portal
See exactly what your child learned in every session
Every student gets a private Family Portal. Every session is published, and progress is calculated from the session records, not typed in after the fact.
Parents, teachers and funders you invite can see the same evidence the tutor sees.
