Did you know?

We've helped thousands of learners of all ages improve their reading and English skills including teaching English as a second language.

Do they have an IEP or 504 plan? (We have tutors that specialize in learning differences)

The tutor that was paired with my daughter was perfect and fits Bella's needs. Bella struggles with attention and has been on a 504 plan for years. The tools used, the interaction and flexibility are priceless. I was hesitant at first but now I'd do it again and I recommend Varsity Tutors!!

Did mostly reading today with a focus on getting individual words correct. He can easily identify words and pronounce them, but tends to not put in the effort to try when presented with an unfamiliar word. I can see spelling to be a possible issue for him in the future when encountering words that are more difficult.
