Need the best tutors for dyslexia in Vancouver WA?
Dyslexia makes learning difficult. Dyslexia can lower students’ self-esteem causing frustration when
they wonder if they’re misinterpreting directions.
Students managing their dyslexia have to comprehend coursework material like other students but have the added challenge of second-guessing themselves when processing written notes.
At Gold Star Tutoring, we provide tutoring services that unlock learning for students experiencing dyslexia.
Why did we develop our own language program?
- We needed a complete system with 5 different levels of phonetic advancement.
- Our students needed a far more tactical, multisensory approach.
- We wanted easier ways for students with poor memory processing to retain skills and bring them into daily life.
Dyslexia affects more than reading
While commonly associated with reading, Dyslexia can make learning in other areas harder too. With tutors in reading, science, math, and more, our team works together to provide the best possible learning environment for all subjects.
- Dyslexia affects math too. It can make it hard for a student to understand what a math problem is asking, even if they understand all the fundamentals.
- Dysgraphia, the difficulty of writing words and symbols, often comes hand-in-hand with Dyslexia, making self-expression complicated.
- A student with Dyslexia may struggle with proper tongue placement when saying certain sounds. We can help correct minor speech impairments throughout our lessons!
With our team of certified teachers, Gold Star Tutoring has developed its own language program, complete with 5 different levels of phonetic advancement.
The public school teaches a “whole language approach,” called sight word recognition which only works for some students. Our system has supported thousands of struggling readers over more than 15 years with varying levels of language delays. We have transformed the lives of our students struggling with improper handwriting pathways, letter orientation (b/d & p/q confusion), and all levels of decoding and phonemic (sound) awareness. The students some people thought were slow learners become bright pupils who now have the chance to realize their full potential!
