2023-2024 School Year Tutoring

The Dyslexia Institute of Indiana offers online and in-person tutoring options for students who are struggling with reading and spelling.  We offer diagnostic, multisensory, and direct instruction in phonics using the Orton-Gillingham approach. 

This approach can still be highly effective when done online.  Students may qualify for online tutoring as long as they are able to blend three sounds together to form words, and will have completed Kindergarten or higher this school year.  In addition, an adult will need to be nearby during the tutoring session to help with refocusing issues and technology. We offer need-based financial assistance for tutoring!

Pricing: $2,520 per semester
