Tree House Tutor utilizes the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading. Multi-sensory techniques are used to help children orthographically map words which allows for better fluency and comprehension.

Individual tutoring

Hands on learning manipulatives allow these tutoring sessions to be tailored to a student's needs. For the K-3rd grade student a variety of objectives are covered including: word decoding skills, enhanced reading comprehension, spelling and writing skills. Package rates available.

Group Tutoring
