Since our founding, we have provided tutoring and literacy support to over 100 individuals ranging from pre-k through adult. As an organization, our primary focus is K-8, but our approach is suitable for striving readers of any age. Our practice is rooted in the Orton-Gillingham approach. Orton-Gillingham is a multi-sensory approach that is specifically designed to help struggling readers by explicitly teaching the connections between letters and sounds. All of our tutors are highly trained in this approach and are diagnostic and prescriptive in their approach to literacy instruction. We have been continually recognized as a leading non profit organization in our community.
