One-On-One Tutoring Services.

Once you’ve had your initial Discovery Call with me, choose the services that best align with your child’s needs.

  • My recommended comprehensive 10-week package includes two one-hour, one-on-one tutoring sessions per week (20 hours of focused instruction in total) and provides your child with research-backed instruction tailored to their reading level and unique learning goals. 

  • For families with specific needs outside of our recommended 10-week tutoring course, our individual one-hour tutoring sessions provide your child with the same personalized, research-backed reading instruction tailored to their current skill level and learning goals.
