“Fresh Start Tutoring is exactly what the name says, a Fresh Start for you, your child, a friend or loved one, to have an opportunity for success.”
Unfortunately, no two children learn alike and some need a little more attention than others. What we offer is competent tutoring, from high-school students to adults, through use of decoding the English language by way of the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching.
~ Fresh Start offers one on one tutoring for you or your child in a comfortable, casual atmosphere to give the student 100% attention, without distractions.
~Whether you or your child has tried tutoring or other learning centers and nothing has seemed to work, Fresh Start can help.
~Even if you’re an adult having problems reading, writing, spelling or have a known learning disability, please don’t wait. Get help today.

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."
-Albert Einstein, famous dyslexic
It’s a shame that learning disabilities don’t get the recognition that they should as something serious. Learning disabilities aren’t usually recognized until the child is in grade school and by then, many parents think their child is simply lazy. The child gets ridiculed in school, called stupid, made fun of, and is forced to deal with the frustrations of adolescence. If you can see the pattern here, frustration breeds anger or isolation in a lot of teens, which in turn causes them to have poor grades in school, behavioral issues and low self-esteem.
No child should have to go through this embarrassment nor should an adult who has already suffered all these circumstances. This is why we can offer a “Fresh Start” to any individual who wants to start off on a clean slate and offer a second chance at life.
Believe it or not, but the situations before mentioned are all very true and can lead to major emotional scars. As much as Fresh Start is about learning, we’re also about mending these wounds through praise, a positive attitude, and to never make the student feel stupid. Step-by-step, the student’s self-esteem will improve tremendously once he/she knows that the tools to be able to spell and read are in their hands. Our motto at Fresh Start is “go as fast as you can but as slow as you must.” We will NEVER rush the student or make them feel stupid when a mistake is made. That is not what we’re here for. We build on success, not failure. That’s why our purpose is to give you what many others couldn’t, a Fresh Start!

What is the Orton-Gillingham Approach?
The Orton-Gillingham approach is language-based, multi sensory, structured, sequential, cumulative, cognitive, and flexible. Its breadth, perspective, and flexibility prompt use of the term approach instead of method.
Multi sensory. Orton-Gillingham teaching sessions are action oriented with auditory, visual, and kinesthetic elements reinforcing each other for optimal learning. The student learns spelling simultaneously with reading.
Structured, Sequential, Cumulative. The Orton-Gillingham teacher introduces the elements of the language systematically. Students begin by reading and writing sounds in isolation. Then they blend the sounds into syllables and words. Students learn the elements of language, e.g., consonants, vowels, digraphs, blends, and diphthongs, in an orderly fashion. They then proceed to advanced structural elements such as syllable types, roots, and affixes. As students learn new material, they continue to review old material until the | ||||||||||||||||
