Top Rated Reading Tutoring in Abbotsford & Chilliwack

Our one-to-one reading support targets the exact skills your child needs. We build phonemic awareness, phonics and decoding, reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. As students grow, we add close reading, critical thinking, and writing about reading. Every plan is personalized so learners in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, and Agassiz get the right mix of skill building and real school support.

We begin with a free consultation to learn about your goals and your childs history. We review report cards, IEPs if applicable, teacher feedback, and recent work. Tutors then complete a quick baseline that can include decoding checks, fluency timing, and comprehension questions. We set clear goals, decide on session frequency, and select materials your child will enjoy. You receive updates after each session and we adjust the plan as progress is made.
