80% of reading problems are caused by Dyslexia. If your child has reading problems, it is highly likely they are dyslexic!
We offer in-person after school tutoring in Redwood City, CA and Bend, OR. Our tutoring is designed for students having trouble with reading due to dyslexia, or math due to dyscalculia. Problems stemming from dyslexia and dyscalculia can be overcome with regular tutoring using scientifically-based, proven methods.
- Dyslexia impacts reading, spelling and writing. Dyslexic students often start with poor phonemic awareness, which is an inability to identify and process individual word sounds.
- Dyscalculia impacts math and understanding how numbers work together.

I’ve Tried Tutoring, But It Didn’t Work
These learning differences all require specialized, highly-targeted techniques. Most tutoring centers do not have the trained staff to successfully remediate these learning differences, and in fact many do more harm than good as a result. Our tutors are certified and have received 18 months of training!
Do You Offer Remote Tutoring?
We offer remote tutoring if the student meets the correct profile for it to be effective. For dyslexia, the initial period usually needs to be done in person, and then remote tutoring can be an option. Remote tutoring is not effective for dyscalculia.
How Do I Know If My Child Has These Learning Differences?
Dyslexia and dyscalculia can all be accurately identified as early as kindergarten. Before a student is accepted into the tutoring program, they must have specific academic testing. If you don’t have a formal education evaluation from a licensed psychologist, we offer reading and math screenings. See Screenings and Consultations for more information.
