What is the Orton-Gillingham Method
Individualized Lessons
The Orton Gillingham method employs a multi-sensory approach, leveraging four primary learning pathways: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile.
This highly effective approach enhances the learning process by offering multiple avenues for students to engage with the content they are studying.
​
To facilitate this engaging learning experience, we will mail a multi-sensory kit to your child, providing them with enjoyable tools for learning.
Our online lessons offer a highly personalized approach, carefully tailored to your child's individual needs, strengths, and areas requiring improvement.
These one-on-one sessions are conducted online for a duration of 50 minutes, providing the convenience of learning from the comfort of your own home.
