Frequently Asked Questions

“Your Child CAN Read” is not just our slogan, it is our founding belief. We identify exactly what stands between your child and that truth, resolve it at the root, and walk alongside your family until the story changes. We don’t just teach; we resolve.

Unlike many tutoring services, we are clinical specialists. By combining intensive Orton-Gillingham instruction with Structured Word Inquiry, we bypass ineffective habits to build a deep, foundational understanding of how language works. We don’t just help your child keep up; we resolve the root cause of the struggle.

Every child’s journey is tailored from day one. Whether you come to us with a recent assessment or are just beginning to look for answers, we meet your child exactly where they are. If you have an assessment, we review it to align our plan. If not, we don’t rely on guesswork. We use targeted observation to identify exactly how your child’s brain processes language, ensuring our strategy is precision-matched from the first session.

Yes, we welcome them. A psychoeducational report provides vital insight into your child’s learning profile. Before sessions begin, both the tutor and our director conduct a thorough review. We also offer to sit with you to explain the psychologist’s recommendations in plain language, showing you exactly how our intervention addresses each one. You will never be left to interpret a complex document alone.

Yes, always. Consistency is a clinical requirement for our approach. Your child will have one dedicated specialist who knows exactly what they have mastered and what comes next. We never rotate tutors, because your child’s success depends on a deep, continuous professional relationship.

We typically recommend two sessions per week. This frequency allows enough time for consolidation while maintaining the momentum that intensive intervention requires. For students with significant gaps or time-sensitive goals, we can discuss a more intensive schedule during your initial consultation.

Sessions are 45 minutes. This is the optimal length for focused, intensive work without cognitive fatigue, which is vital for students who expend significant mental effort on reading tasks. It is the sweet spot: enough to make meaningful progress without becoming overwhelming.

Progress is woven into the fabric of our methodology. Because our approach is diagnostic and prescriptive, we evaluate your child’s mastery every session and adjust in real time. We provide ongoing transparency, so you will always have a clear view of your child’s path to fluency.

Yes. Regular updates are a core part of our commitment. During your initial consultation, we discuss the format and frequency that works best for you, whether that is written reports, session summaries, or regular check-in calls. You are always an active partner in your child’s journey.

Yes. We are happy to liaise with your child’s school, align our intervention with classroom expectations, and communicate with teachers or resource staff. We believe a connected approach between home, school, and specialist produces the strongest results.

Every profile is different, but in our 25+ years, we haven’t seen a single student who didn’t make significant gains within 1 to 2 years. Most families notice meaningful improvements, like increased confidence and reduced anxiety, much sooner. The timeline depends on the depth of the learning gap and session consistency, all of which we discuss openly.

Because this is not general tutoring. Our specialists are trained in intensive, clinical literacy intervention, approaches that require years of expertise. You are not paying for homework help; you are investing in targeted, therapeutic intervention that produces real, lasting results.

No hidden fees. Your session rate is all-inclusive, there are no registration fees, no material costs, and no extra charges for initial assessments. What you see is what you pay, allowing you to focus entirely on your child’s progress.
