If you or your child has dyslexia, help is available today.

Our tutors are trained to use the Orton-Gillingham based Barton Reading & Spelling System.

Our one-on-one sessions are individualized by using normed standardized tests to ensure our students are progressing and the reading and spelling gaps are being closed.

We are committed to providing a warm and inviting environment, with staff that are welcoming, approachable and friendly.

It is important to us that our students are empowered, self-assured, confident in themselves, and use their abilities to overcome challenges and achieve their ambitions and goals.
