For students with dyslexia or other reading differences
We work with several students who have a dyslexia diagnosis or 504/IEP for reading. Our tutors use multi-sensory approaches and pace accommodations as needed. Share the documentation during the consultation and we’ll build the plan around it.
FAQ
How quickly will I see improvement in my child’s reading?
For a struggling reader, the first measurable shift is usually around 6-10 weeks of weekly sessions — often visible first as more willingness to read, then as better comprehension.
Can you help with college essays specifically?
Yes. We work with juniors and seniors on the personal essay and supplemental essays. Ideally start the summer before senior year for less stress.
