1. What’s the first step?

A free 20-minute parent consultation—no pressure, no student present. We’ll talk through concerns and explore next steps. If you’re ready, you may schedule your child’s reading evaluation at this time.

2. What happens during the evaluation?

Your child completes a 45–60 minute Zoom session using DIBELS 8, CORE Phonics, and Read Naturally Live. You’ll receive a clear report with scores, skill gaps, and recommendations. This evaluation helps us understand exactly what your child needs—and how to move forward.

3. Can we try tutoring before committing?

Yes. New families can begin with a 2-week, $200 risk-free trial (Four 45-minute sessions + follow-up). Learn more about the trial offer. Money-back guarantee if no progress is shown.

4. What are the monthly options?

Plans range from $180 to $650 per month based on your child’s benchmark status and instructional need.
