The Program
Achieve Literacy Tutoring's programs utilize the best research-based practices for each area of reading and writing need. The programs are sequential and systematic, meaning they cover skills in a logical order and build upon previously learned skills. They are multisensory, engaging more than one sense at a time to enhance memory and learning. Most importantly, all programs are structured yet flexible. Tutoring sessions follow a predictable routine of components, but students work at their specific instructional level in each portion of the class.
All programs are offered as private or small group sessions of no more than 4 students.
Why small group tutoring?
Small group classes help keep hourly rates down, which can make tutoring more affordable for families and/or allow students to receive instruction more frequently. The interaction between students in small group classes also provides a more educational and enjoyable environment for students.

The Tutor

The Space
Classes and individual tutoring sessions are taught in a private home-based classroom. The classroom is centrally located near downtown Asheboro on a residential street. The space includes a small group table, dry erase boards for teaching and student work, curriculum materials, books, leveled readers, manipulatives, and art supplies.
Why a home-based classroom?
The classroom allows access to a wide variety of curriculum and materials, much more than a tutor could bring to a student's home or public space. It eliminates the distractions, like siblings or pets, that might be found while tutoring in the student's home. It also allows us to move and talk freely without disturbing others, unlike a public space like a library.
