Our TEAM
The Reading Foundation's team of caring educators is carefully selected for a unique combination of attributes and an exceptional ability to work with students. Patience, flexibility, and compassion are valued and nurtured at all of our clinics. All staff members undergo extensive training and mentoring in The Reading Foundation’s clinical programs before working with clients. A team effort guides our individualized approach, ensuring hourly program continuity, an adaptive pace and ultimately, a genuine sense of success for the student.
Our Unique Approach and Delivery
Our students receive an experience that is more educational therapy than tutoring thanks to our unique approach. Unlike traditional tutors, our clinicians deliver intentionally developed and customizable programming. In this way, we are best able to address the underlying processes affecting a student’s reading, spelling, comprehension, writing and math.
The flexibility of both our programs and our business hours allows for students to attend on either an intensive basis – between four and six hours a day, five days a week – or on a part-time basis during, or outside of, school hours.
We can adapt programming to fulfill the recommendations of the initial assessment and to suit your schedule.
