One-on-One Tutoring for Students With Dyslexia
Dyslexia Tutoring using Orton-Gillingham
It is heartbreaking to see your child try so hard and still struggle to read, especially after everything you’ve already tried: tutors, school support, and extra practice.
Over time, many students with dyslexia begin to believe they will never be able to read like their peers, eroding their confidence and love of learning.
But struggling to read doesn’t mean your child isn’t capable. Often, it simply means they haven’t received the specialized literacy instruction they need.
At Strive, we offer personalized dyslexia tutoring using the Orton-Gillingham approach. Through our structured literacy instruction, we help students with dyslexia build the skills, confidence, and independence they need to become successful readers.

- Your child has a dyslexia diagnosis or is exhibiting symptoms.
- Reading has become a constant source of frustration.

Where does Strive offer dyslexia tutoring?
Many students benefit from dyslexia tutoring two or more times per week, especially when they are working to close reading or spelling gaps. Consistent support helps students build momentum, reinforce new skills, and make stronger progress over time. The right frequency depends on the student’s age, needs, goals, and schedule.
How often should students receive dyslexia tutoring?
School-based reading intervention can be helpful, but it is often limited by group size, scheduling, or the level of individualized instruction available. Dyslexia tutoring provides targeted, one-on-one support focused on the underlying reading and spelling skills students need. This allows instruction to move at the student’s pace and adjust as they grow.
How is dyslexia tutoring different from school-based reading intervention?
No, students do not need a formal dyslexia diagnosis to begin dyslexia tutoring. Many families reach out because their child struggles with reading, spelling, decoding, fluency, or writing despite strong effort. During the consultation, we’ll learn more about your child’s needs and recommend the support that best fits.
Does my child need a formal dyslexia diagnosis to receive dyslexia tutoring?
Strive provides specialized dyslexia tutoring, not generic homework help or general reading support. Our dyslexia tutors are trained in Orton-Gillingham and focus on the foundational skills students need to become stronger readers and spellers. We frequently monitor progress and adjust instruction based on each student’s needs.
What makes Strive’s dyslexia tutoring different from other options?
Orton-Gillingham tutoring is a structured, multisensory approach that helps students build foundational reading, spelling, and decoding skills. It is the gold standard for helping students with dyslexia because instruction is explicit, sequential, and tailored to how the student learns. Strive’s dyslexia specialists are trained in Orton-Gillingham and use it to help students become confident readers.
