Orton-Gillingham-certified tutors

When a child struggles to read, it impacts more than just grades—it can affect their confidence, self-esteem, and love of learning. At iReading Tutor, we specialize in helping students overcome these challenges by offering support from Orton-Gillingham-certified tutors who truly understand how to teach reading in a way that makes sense to every learner.

Our team is passionate about helping children unlock their potential, especially those with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. With the proven power of the Orton-Gillingham approach, our tutors deliver personalized instruction that builds skills, boosts confidence, and fosters a lifelong love of reading.

What Is the Orton-Gillingham Approach?

The Orton-Gillingham approach is a time-tested, research-based method to help individuals with dyslexia and other reading challenges. Developed in the 1930s by neuropsychiatrist Samuel Orton and educator Anna Gillingham, it is structured, sequential, and multisensory, helping students make connections between letters, sounds, and words in a way that traditional methods often overlook.

Unlike generic reading programs, Orton-Gillingham tailors instruction to meet each learner's unique needs. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach—it's personal, flexible, and grounded in how the brain learns to read.

That's why Orton-Gillingham certified tutors are so valuable—they're trained to deliver this specialized instruction with accuracy and care.

Why Certification Matters

Not all reading tutors are created equal. At iReading Tutor, we're proud to have a team of Orton-Gillingham-certified tutors who have completed extensive training to understand the intricacies of this approach. Certification ensures that our tutors are equipped to:

• Assess a student's current reading level and identify specific areas of need

• Create structured, individualized lesson plans based on the Orton-Gillingham method

• Teach using multisensory techniques that engage sight, sound, and movement

• Adapt instruction as the student progresses, ensuring mastery at every level

When your child works with a certified tutor, you can trust that they're receiving instruction that's effective and tailored to their learning style.
