FAQ
How do I know if my child needs tutoring?
If you will click the link above you can sign up to receive an email titled milestones to becoming a good reader. It also contains red flags for struggling readers. With this tool you can compare how your child is doing compared to other readers in the same age range. If your child is behind what is commonly expected for children their age do not hesitate to call and get a free evaluation.
Maybe my child is just not ready?
We all know that children mature and learn at different rates. Some children are already walking at 9 months and others don't walk until they are closer to 16 or 17months and that is perfectly ok. It is also true that every child is not ready at the same time for school. In my opinion young children should be free to play and run and have lots of movement time, especially boys. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be learning. As they are growing, and you are talking to them and reading stories to them some skills should become automatic fairly easily. For example, rhyming, being able to count syllables, and knowing the first sound of the word. If these skills are not emerging or if you see other red flags that listed in my "Milestones to becoming a good reader" then you will want to start working on this right away. Approximately 20% of the population has dyslexia and it does not go away as we grow and mature. Do not wait while your child struggles through school, this could be very damaging to the confidence. Dyslexia does not go away with time. If your child shows signs of struggling with reading don't wait, especially if they are attending school.

Prices?
This type of reading tutoring is actually changing your brain patterns. The more often you practice the better and faster you will learn. That is why I highly recommend that you come more often than 1 time/week and I make it more affordable to come more often.
Each lesson is 1:1 for 1 hour.
* If you choose to come 1 time/week it is $65/week.
*If you choose to come 2 times/week it will be 110/week.
*If you choose to come 3 times/week it will be 156/week.
