About you
By the time you begin your research for tutoring options, you're a parent who desperately wants to find help for your struggling reader.
You probably have a gut feeling that something is just not right. You've been told they'll catch up. Or they just need to mature a little. But homework is killing them (and you). The school system might acknowledge that there is a problem, but the testing process is a nightmare and you're not even sure they can help. In the meantime, your child's self confidence is diminishing. You wonder what could be done differently.
Or maybe you're a homeschool parent. Your struggling learner wasn't making it in the school system and needs your one-on-one attention. The problem is, he's still struggling. Reading is laborious, spelling is disastrous, and you can't even make out his handwriting. You want to help him, but nothing you try seems to be working for him. You're frustrated; he's frustrated; and you know there has to be a better way.
