Our Mission & Vision

Specializations - We Know How To Help
Written below are the most common learning setbacks for teaching literacy and critical thinking skills to students who are struggling or to those who need more intellectual challenge.
Dyslexia
Dyslexia support has been misunderstood and ignored in schools for far too long. Reader's Academy is a leader in the field providing the most up to date scientific methods for teaching these unique learners so that they can confidently achieve academic and personal success.
ADHD/ADD
For these students, effective learning requires structure. Our sessions follow a clear framework while remaining flexible to the student’s pace and learning style. Each session builds on the last, ensuring steady advancement rather than stalled repetition.
Difficulty With Emotional Regulation / Low Confidence
Confidence is central to literacy development. We create a calm, focused, supportive learning environment where students are no longer in "survival mode" —they feel respected, capable, and understood. As skills improve, students begin to trust themselves, and lifelong learning becomes something they engage with, not resist.
Gifted Students
When classroom work becomes too simple for these students, they need more challenge to help them reach their full potential. This is where specialized projects and studies allow them to grow at the pace that suites them and not depend on their school that often cannot provide further support apart from the current curriculum.
