1:1 high-impact tutoring, built on the science of reading
We provide remote Tier II and Tier III tutoring before, during, or after school for students in grades 1-6.
With OpenLiteracy tutoring, students can make a year of literacy growth in just 17 weeks.
Three 30-minute sessions each week
Students meet with their dedicated tutor through our secure video platform before, during, or after the school day. Each 30-minute lesson is informed by assessment data and designed to advance students’ decoding and comprehension skills. We use CORE PHONICS and DIBELS ORF as well as exit tickets at every lesson to tailor learning plans to each student's need.
Personalized instruction to maximize learning
Each student’s personalized learning plan is designed by our Learning Specialist Team using our proprietary curriculum tools. Our systematic and sequential Foundations Curriculum, aligned with the UFLI scope and sequence, is designed for students mastering key foundational skills while also building comprehension. Our Non-Fiction Navigators Curriculum focuses on developing world knowledge while building skills in reading comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary. Our Language Lab and Newcomers Curriculum provide additional intentional supports for English Learners.
All of our tutors have been classroom teachers - in fact, our tutors have an average of 15 years teaching experience! Our hiring process is extremely rigorous, with just 1 of 20 applicants being hired. Tutors also complete a competency-based training that is designed around our curriculum, in addition to participating in ongoing instructional coaching.
Our tutors are teachers
95% of students can learn to read with great instruction. In a third party evaluation of three tutoring companies, students in OpenLiteracy outpaced two leading online tutoring providers.
