Dyslexia tutoring in Oakdale, close to home for the east metro
Most reading specialists are a long drive to the west side of the Twin Cities. Our Oakdale center brings one-on-one, structured-literacy tutoring to families in Woodbury, Maplewood, North St Paul, Stillwater, and beyond.
A specialist on your side of the metro.
You will find us at 7815 3rd Street N, Suite 103, Oakdale, minutes from Woodbury, Maplewood, and Lake Elmo, and an easy drive from Stillwater and White Bear Lake. For east-metro families, real structured-literacy help no longer means crossing the cities.
Sessions are one-on-one and by appointment, with the same tutor each week so your child builds momentum instead of starting over.

Structured literacy that finally sticks
We teach the way dyslexic brains actually learn to read, with explicit, hands-on, step-by-step instruction.
Reading & spelling
Taught with the Orton-Gillingham based Barton Reading & Spelling System. Students build words with color-coded tiles, turning the sounds and patterns of English into something they can see, hear, and move with their hands.
Math, writing & homework
Hands-on, mastery-based math with Math-U-See, plus support for dysgraphia and patient homework help that builds the study skills to work independently.
Who we help
Children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD, from early elementary through high school. See the signs we look for ›
How it works
Every child starts with a free consultation and an assessment, then a plan built around their specific gaps. See our approach ›
Reading help for east-metro students.
We work with students who attend North St Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale, Stillwater Area, Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake Area, and South Washington County schools, along with private and home-school families across the east metro.
Our tutoring does not replace what happens at school. It fills the specific reading and spelling gaps with the explicit, one-on-one instruction a busy classroom cannot give. You do not need a diagnosis or an IEP to start, and if your child has one, we build around it.
Built around your child
Every plan starts with a free consultation and an assessment, so we begin exactly where your child needs us, not with a generic curriculum.
We measure reading, so you can see the growth.
A standardized assessment shows where your child starts, and we reassess along the way. You get an honest, concrete picture of progress, not just a feeling that things are better.
