One-on-one tutoring for struggling learners

Learning shouldn’t be a daily battle.

We help children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD, one student at a time. We rebuild the skills and the confidence together, until school stops feeling like a fight.

This is what your child feels

When reading is this hard every single day, a child slowly stops believing they are smart. We give that belief back, one clear step at a time.

Good tutoring is a life-long investment, in reading and in how your child sees themselves.

What we offer

Tutoring built around your child

Every student starts with an assessment and a plan. From there, we work one-on-one on exactly what your child needs.

Reading & spelling

Structured literacy for dyslexia and struggling readers, taught with the Barton Reading & Spelling System.

Reading & spelling

Direct, structured teaching of the sounds, patterns, and rules of English, in the order the brain learns them best. This is the heart of what we do, and it is built specifically for dyslexia.

How we do it

The Barton Reading & Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham based program
Multi-sensory lessons: your child sees it, says it, hears it, and writes it
Nothing is guessed, and nothing advances until a skill is truly mastered
One-on-one, at your child’s pace, with a tutor who adjusts in the moment

Math

Hands-on, mastery-based math with Math-U-See, rebuilding the foundations one solid step at a time.

Math

We rebuild math from the ground up so it finally makes sense, using concrete tools before abstract symbols. Many children struggle with math for the same reason they struggle with reading: they were moved ahead before the basics were secure.

How we do it

Math-U-See, a hands-on, visual program built around mastery
Manipulatives first, so the “why” is clear before the symbols
We fill the exact gaps that timed worksheets skip over
The same patient, one-on-one approach we use for reading

Homework help

Patient support to get through assignments and build the study skills to work independently.

Homework help

A tutor helping a student with schoolwork

Focused support to get through today’s assignments while building the skills to do it alone tomorrow. For many families, this is where the nightly battles finally end.

How we do it

We break big assignments into clear, manageable steps
Organization, planning, and time-management skills that stick
Reading and writing strategies matched to how your child learns
A calm, patient adult in your child’s corner

Assessment

A clear picture of how your child learns and where the gaps are, so we start in exactly the right place.

CITE assessmentWIST baseline

CITE Learning Styles Assessment

The CITE (Center for Innovative Teaching Experience) assessment identifies how your child learns best, so we never have to guess where to begin.

What it looks at

How they take in information: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic
The conditions they work best in: independently or in a group
How they show what they know: spoken or written
Results we and their teacher use to tailor instruction to your child

Reading & spelling baseline

For reading, we also use the WIST (Word Identification and Spelling Test) to pinpoint exact skill gaps and to measure growth over time.

Reading they can see, hear, and touch.

Our students build words with color-coded tiles, turning the sounds and patterns of English into something they move with their hands, not just memorize. It is a big part of why structured literacy sticks when worksheets never did.

What families say

Real change, in their parents’ words

“After just six months of tutoring, our son has jumped nearly two grades in reading and feels confident in his abilities again. He hated writing and felt like every subject was a writing class. We sought advice from Learn to Learn and learned he was dyslexic, and he was so relieved to know there was a cause for his struggles. He actually enjoys going to tutoring, and he can tell how it is helping him become a better reader and writer.”

LeeAnn, Learn to Learn parent

“Learn to Learn has absolutely been critical in my child’s education and her well-being. They transformed my 2nd grader who avoided anything academic into a 7th grader who is managing her own school life with far less assistance. She is no longer afraid of reading, school, and academic challenge. I could not more highly recommend this experience. It can be expensive for some families, but in our case it was absolutely worth any investment in my child’s happiness.”

Sara, Learn to Learn parent

“This gave our daughter a chance to reinvent herself. She went from feeling dumb in elementary school to being at the top of her class with a 4.0 in middle school. She loves to learn. Her tutor is so caring and flexible with scheduling that we can always find time for Learn to Learn.”

Jean, Learn to Learn parent

“My children have been going to Learn to Learn for two years and have made tremendous growth in their confidence, reading fluency, and writing accuracy. The tutors are very knowledgeable and have been phenomenal in building a positive relationship that makes learning fun, even when it is a challenge. We are so thankful to have found Learn to Learn and would recommend it to anyone looking to support their child with reading difficulties.”

Meghan, Learn to Learn parent

“Our child has received services at Learn to Learn for nearly four years, starting in kindergarten. We have had a tremendously positive experience with their staff and system, so much so that at one point our child asked if they could do more tutoring after school instead of gymnastics class. Our child has two diagnoses that impact learning, and Learn to Learn has navigated them very skillfully, helping our child stay at or above grade level in reading, spelling, and writing throughout grade school, to the point that she has yet to need extra accommodations at school. Most importantly, she loves school, enjoys reading, seems self-confident, and never complains about going to tutoring. We are very grateful to Learn to Learn.”

Carly, Learn to Learn parent

“The tutors are great.”
