A Tutor Can Make All the Difference

Does your child have Dyslexia or a Language-Based Disability?
Is your child failing in school?

Whether a child needs a helping hand to develop stronger study habits, sharpen his or her academic performance, or reduce anxiety and stress due to repeated academic failures, a tutor can make all the difference.

Dyslexia, a neurological, inherited condition caused by a different wiring of the brain, is not something a person can outgrow. It’s important to understand that dyslexia has no relationship to intelligence, but rather a condition where reading and writing become difficult to learn. Illiteracy isn’t about ignorant, brainless, lazy children. It’s about teachers using flawed reading methodologies that don’t work. 

Reading is a superpower we all deserve.

The National Literacy Trust defines literacy as “the ability to read, write, speak and listen in a way that lets us communicate effectively and make sense of the world.” Being able to read and write, necessary skills for living a productive life with dignity and respect, represent freedom to live a life you’re meant to live.

Today, our country’s educational institutions are in crisis mode. Even before the pandemic, statistics from the U.S. Department of Education revealed that 20% of all public-school populations struggle with reading. That’s 1 in 5 kids that can’t read on grade level or can’t read at all. That is both statistically significant and an educational crime. 

For a long time, universities and colleges ignored the cognitive science behind reading acquisition, offering instead flawed reading methodologies that didn’t work. It’s time our institutions of higher learning changed how they teach reading acquisition because illiteracy is a pipeline to prison. Almost 50% of the U.S. prison populations struggle with reading; 85% of juveniles in the court system are functionally illiterate; and two-thirds of kids who can’t read by the end of 4th grade will end up in jail or on welfare. 

If your child struggles in school, personalized tutoring by a professional who understands the importance of using structured literacy in a direct, explicit, multi-sensory, sequential approach can reverse the repeated failures and traumas experienced in school, with the end goal of creating independent, self-confident learners. 

It's never too late to seek a tutor who can change the trajectory of your child’s educational experience from low-self-esteem and failure to self-confidence and success in being an independent learner.
