5 Dyslexia lessons

Joyce is a very patient tutor with my son who struggles with dyslexia. In just a few lessons my son was able to learn more than he had with several lessons with past tutors. Anyone who has a child who is struggling with reading and dyslexia can tell you how heartbreaking it is watching your child go through this. Joyce has given our son back the confidence he needs to show him that he can succeed. We are so happy we found her and are looking forward to seeing him advance significantly in this area.

49 Dyslexia lessons

Oren has been working with our middle school son, who was diagnosed with dyslexia at the start of this school year. Oren has done an outstanding job. Initially, I was worried about my son's ability to stay focused during virtual calls, but Oren has a remarkable way of connecting with him and making the lessons enjoyable. For instance, my son loves baseball and golf, and Oren tailors the lessons around these interests, making the material more engaging for him.
Karyn V.

11 Dyslexia lessons

Chris tutored our son in Reading and we have seen great improvement in a few months. FL public schools do not recognize or test for dyslexia or train their teachers to teach reading using O-G methods. They use generalized phonics instruction and sight word memorization which, at least in our case, are not effective. I've learned so much from Chris about how to work with my son and the reasons why traditional teaching techniques will never be effective for him. I recommend Chris highly!
