Online across Minnesota

Online dyslexia tutoring, anywhere in Minnesota

Live, one-on-one structured-literacy tutoring over video, the same instruction we teach in person at our Saint Paul center, now for families anywhere in Minnesota who cannot easily get to Saint Paul or Oakdale. The same method, the same tutor each week, from home.

How online works

The same structured lessons, on a screen your child can see.

The Barton Reading & Spelling System translates naturally to live video. Your child works with on-screen letter tiles and shared materials, guided one-on-one by the same tutor every week, with the same explicit, step-by-step teaching we use in person.

It is the same Barton instruction our students receive in person at our Saint Paul center, delivered live to your home. Online reaches families in greater Minnesota where specialists are scarce, and busy Twin Cities families, from Saint Paul to the far suburbs, who would rather skip the drive. All you need is a computer or tablet, a camera, and a quiet place to work.

What we do

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

The Orton-Gillingham based Barton Reading & Spelling System, delivered live over video with on-screen tiles so the sounds and patterns of English click into place.

Math, writing & homework

Hands-on, mastery-based math with Math-U-See, plus support for dysgraphia and patient homework help that builds independent study skills.

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 ›

Students from any school

Reading help for students at any school in Minnesota.

Because we teach online, we work with families anywhere in Minnesota, from the Twin Cities metro to greater Minnesota, whether your child attends a public, charter, private, or home school.

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.

Proof it is working

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, wherever in Minnesota you are.
