Top Rated Reading Tutoring in San Ramon

We start with a free consultation to learn about your childs goals and reading challenges. Then we match your child with a tutor based on learning style, grade, personality, and subject expertise. Your child meets one to one with the tutor in your home or online. After each session, you receive a session report so you always know what was covered, how your child is doing, and the plan for next time.

We build the core pillars of strong literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics and decoding, word recognition, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
