1-on-1 tutoring specifically designed for students with dyslexia and difficulty with reading, writing and math.
Keys to Unlock Learning
Right now it may feel hopeless, but we specialize in helping kids just like yours unlock success and confidence in school.
The Orton-Gillingham Method
The Grand Traverse Dyslexia Association is the only local educational center that uses this 1-on-1 systematic, multi-sensory phonetic instruction that students with dyslexia need to finally grasp and excel in the science of reading. Without this method, most students with dyslexia cannot learn to read and write proficiently, and will continue to fall behind in school.
Understanding Dyslexia:
A learning difference, not disability.

It's Very Common
1 in 5 school-aged children in the US have dyslexia. 90% of all learning disabilities are rooted in dyslexia.

Normal-to-High Intelligence
Students with dyslexia are just as capable and willing to learn as any child, but the typical classroom isn’t designed for their unique learning style, so they typically fall behind.

It's Hereditary
It is very common for immediate and extended family members to also struggle with reading and writing because Dyslexia is passed down through generations.
