Expert Tutors

At SOAR Tutoring Center, we believe that the quality of instruction begins with the quality of the teacher. We pride ourselves on the knowledge, compassion, and passion of our tutors. Every SOAR tutor is a credentialed teacher who is actively working in the classroom, bringing current, research-based practices directly into each session. Our tutors have extensive training in LETRS, Orton-Gillingham (OG), the Science of Reading, Wilson Learning, and many hold advanced degrees in literacy or reading specialist credentials. Our tutors have extensive experience supporting a wide range of learners—from students who need targeted intervention to those who excel and benefit from enrichment, including gifted learners. This deep expertise allows us to provide structured, explicit, and highly effective instruction tailored to each student’s needs. We understand that literacy is essential for success in today’s world, and we are committed to giving every student the strong foundation they need to thrive. As Dr. Louisa Moats emphasizes, “Informed teachers are our best insurance against reading failure. While programs are very helpful tools, programs don't teach, teachers do.” This belief is at the core of our work. While we use high-quality instructional programs, it is our skilled and knowledgeable teachers who thoughtfully deliver instruction, analyze data, and adjust teaching to ensure meaningful progress. We also believe that student success is best achieved through strong partnerships with families. Ongoing communication is a priority at SOAR, and we work closely with families to share progress, provide support strategies, and ensure everyone is aligned in supporting each child’s growth. When tutors, students, and families work together, students are better supported and more successful. In addition to our expertise, we are deeply committed to building relationships with our students. Our tutors are kind, patient, and passionate about helping students grow—not just academically, but in confidence as well. At SOAR, students are supported, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential. Above all, we believe every child has the right and ability to become a confident, literate learner and are committed to supporting the whole child.
