Will you come to my home to tutor my child?

What is the minimum term of enrollment?
Most of our tutoring services require a minimum commitment of one semester enrollment, or a minimum of three months, to measure significant progress. Most families continue enrollment for a school year or longer, as to continue the impressive progress momentum.
Our homeschool enrichment class typically has a commitment of an academic school year.
Our summer camps are typically three-week classes.
What are the rates of your services?
Our services have a monthly price range of $255-$775 per month, depending on the specific service and frequency of lessons/classes.
What teaching approach do you use?
We use Structured Literacy, which is the most effective way to teach reading and spelling, especially for those who require additional support or are diagnosed with dyslexia. Orton-Gillingham / Structured Literacy intervention is informed by the science of reading. Our instructional methods are proven effective through research. The International Dyslexia Association and The Reading League advocate for evidence-based reading instruction such as ours, because it is effective and produces successful results.
How long are the private lessons? How often do students attend?
All one-on-one lessons are 45 minutes long.
Students typically attend twice per week for Orton-Gillingham intervention, or once per week for structured literacy tutoring.
How long will it take my child to be remediated?
Structured Literacy tutoring and Orton-Gillingham reading intervention are long-term commitments that are effective and highly beneficial. Since children work at various paces and dyslexia presents itself differently in each child, the length of enrollment varies. Following proven industry guidelines, successful remediation can take 18 months to several years. Most children are typically enrolled for 12-24 months, and experience tremendous growth.
What are the qualifications of your teachers and are they background-checked?
We live scan fingerprint all of our teachers to ensure a thorough background check is completed with the CA Department of Justice and the FBI.
Our tutors each have a minimum of two of the following:
1) Master's degree
2) Teaching Credential
3) Official Orton-Gillingham training by OGA Fellows
4) Dyslexia/Dysgraphia training
and in-house structured literacy training by our credentialed Reading and Literacy Leadership Specialist.
Do you diagnose dyslexia?
Our specialist can identify dyslexia characteristics and discern if dyslexia markers are present, as well as determine if your child is at-risk for reading disabilities. We do not give a dyslexia diagnosis, as that falls in the realm of a psychologist through formal psychoeducational testing.
Reading Reach's literacy assessments are designed to pinpoint literacy needs in order to create an individualized plan for a tutor to implement. Our lessons are tailored to each child's specific needs, based on data from the initial assessment and consistent progress monitoring.
Do you accept charter funds?
Yes, as long as sufficient third-party funding is available to commit to the entire term of enrollment (typically the semester).
We are approved vendors with the following charter schools: Pacific Coast Academy,
SoCal Scholars Academy,
Suncoast Prep Academy,
Excel Academy Charter School,
Sage Oak Charter School,
Compass Charter School,
