Frequently Asked Questions
Dyslexia Tutoring
We use the Orton-Gillingham methodology. We have taken our deep understanding of this multi-sensory apprach to learning, and created an in-house curriculum that is personalized to each students needs and interests.
No, we do not use scripted or boxed programs (such as the Barton program) at our tutoring center, because we believe it is important to focus on each child's specific reading needs. We have several tutors who were trained as Barton tutors in the past, but we all believe that taking a personalized approach and addressing your child's specific dyslexic needs is far superior to a boxed program.
No, a formal diagnosis of dyslexia or other reading disorder is not required for tutoring.
Virtual Tutoring
Most of our virtual students are achieving the same results as our in-person students. Those children who typically struggle with focus and/or auditory processing may have a little harder time with virtual learning.
We provide all tutoring materials. We ask that you have access to a computer or tablet that supports Google Meets. We also recommend that you have a dedicated learning space where materials are easily accessible, as our sessions move fast, and we use a variety of materials thoughout the session.
Dyslexia Screening
A dyslexia screening is academic, and is typically not covered by insurance.
A screening is academically based and cannot provide a diagnosis, but rather a learning profile that can be remediated and accomodated in school or through private tutoring.
Payment and Insurance
Insurance companies do not typically cover academic tutoring.
Our invoices are electronic and emailed at the beginning of the month. You can pay directly from your invoice online with a credit or debit card or you can pay with cash or check at the center.
