Dyslexia tutoring in Saint Paul

One-on-one, structured-literacy tutoring for children with dyslexia and struggling readers, at our center on Brimhall Street. We rebuild reading, spelling, writing, and math, and the confidence that comes with them, one student at a time.

Our Saint Paul center

Right in the heart of the city, easy to reach.

Our Saint Paul location sits at 244 Brimhall Street, in the Mac-Groveland and Merriam Park area. Families come to us from across the city and the near suburbs, including Highland Park, Summit Hill, Como, and beyond.

Because sessions are one-on-one and by appointment, we build a schedule that fits after school, and we keep the same tutor with your child week after week so progress compounds.

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

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 ›

Students from every school

Reading help for students from any school.

We work with students who attend Saint Paul Public Schools and nearby districts, including Roseville Area, West St Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan, South St Paul, Richfield, and Bloomington, along with private, charter, and parochial schools across the area, and home-school families.

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, not just a feeling that things are better.
