Frequently asked questions
General1
We are the experts in literacy intervention, remediation, and prevention. You want nothing but the best for your child — and that’s exactly what we deliver. That’s why we proudly offer a 100% money-back guarantee.
Our promise to you is simple: Try our 15 initial sessions. If your child does not start reading new words he has never seen before — using the exact multisensory concepts he has been taught — we will refund every penny of those 15 sessions, no questions asked.
He will also begin spelling with the same proven concepts, and his progress will continue even if he has severe dyslexia or other disabilities and disorders such as ADHD and mild autism.
When you choose Multisensory Reading Clinic, you’re choosing the best of the best — a truly one-of-a-kind program. You’ve made the right decision for your child. The earlier you start the therapeutic tutoring, the better the outcome will be!
The results of the reading assessment will reveal your child’s specific learning needs.
If he cannot read, we will teach your child how to identify and connect sounds so that he can learn to read and spell by himself — even words he has never seen before!
If he can already read and spell but only words he has seen or only by memorizing them, we will teach him proven strategies so that he can confidently read any word he has never seen before.
100% success rate or money back! (https://www.multisensoryreadingclinic.com/success-dyslexia-orton-gillingham-reading-program)
We pride ourselves on the excellent quality of our work and the services we have provided to our students. To date, we have a 100% success rate!
As a matter of fact, all of our students start learning to read during the very first hour of their session. We are a one-of-a-kind Multisensory Reading Clinic—we know exactly what to teach and how to teach it!
One of our most rewarding experiences is seeing an individual who once felt unhappy, hopeless, and defeated transformed into someone who now glows with self-confidence and is eager to learn more.
We have also received calls from our previous students’ parents, who have taken the time to thank us and share their children’s success stories!
Not everyone can learn to read, and we will determine during your child’s first reading assessment whether he can learn to read. If he cannot, you will receive a 100% refund of your reading assessment service fee.

A few reasons why our therapeutic tutoring is beneficial for your child:
1. Your child cannot read unknown words in a classroom or school setting, so he continues to fall further behind his peers.
2. He has already tried other tutoring services, learning centers, and/or literacy clinics, yet he still cannot read words he has never seen before.
3. He does not know how to connect the sounds.
4. He struggles with decoding and blending when reading or even speaking (for example: blot, draft, prompt, chipmunks, juncture, adamant, etc.).
5. He tends to guess at words, such as reading “rat” as “rot,” “rid” as “red,” “dig” as “big,” or “han” as “ham,” because the words look similar (including common b/d and d/b confusion).
6. He has significant difficulty with spelling—his spelling is often poor or inconsistent.
Don’t let your child’s self-esteem and confidence suffer any further.

During your child's first session, if he knows the letter sounds and what the letters look like.
EXCEPTION: If your child has already received the same literacy instruction as we provide, we will determine this during his reading assessment. In that case, we will continue his lessons based on what he has already learned.
If your child can comprehend a story when you read it to him but cannot comprehend what he reads himself, he does not necessarily have a general comprehension problem—instead, he likely has reading-specific difficulties.
He may lack reading fluency (the ability to read smoothly, accurately, and with appropriate speed), or he may still be sounding out most words individually rather than recognizing them automatically. Either issue can overload his cognitive resources, making it harder to focus on meaning and thus affecting his reading comprehension.
Alternatively, he could have other disabilities or disorders that impact reading comprehension (even if listening comprehension is intact), such as autism spectrum disorder or other related conditions.

At Multisensory Reading Clinic, our goal, as always, is to help your child achieve his reading level as quickly as possible.
However, we must also consider his well-being.
Our individualized structured literacy intervention and remediation is based on your child's specific needs and his current capacity to learn. This means we cannot teach him concepts faster than he can handle, or he will "meltdown."
In addition, each lesson builds directly on the previous one. Therefore, he needs to achieve fluency in the previous lesson's material; otherwise, the next lesson will be too difficult, and he will again "meltdown."
Also, if you as a parent struggle to digest and retain the information when we explain a concept your child has recently learned—so that you can support him at home—how can we expect your child, who has only just begun learning to read, to absorb even more instruction than you can?
That said, as parents you can help maximize your child's learning by following these important tips:
1. Make sure he is not tired, is well-rested, and is not hungry before his tutoring session so that he is alert and can give his full attention to the tutor.
2. Practice the assigned concepts (i.e., the word cards we have lent you) with your child, but do not overdo it. We usually tell parents exactly how much practice the child needs and how often. If you're unsure, please ask us when you pick up your child after his tutoring session.
While a psychological evaluation helps us better understand your child’s learning needs and current grade level, it does not indicate which specific concepts he already knows or still needs to learn. It also does not tell us where to begin when teaching him to read and spell.

Dyslexia comes from the Greek roots dys- (meaning "difficulty" or "impaired"), lexis (meaning "words" or "language"), and -ia (indicating an abnormal condition). It therefore refers to a difficulty with words and typically involves challenges with reading, writing, spelling, expression, and organization of language.
Our reading assessment will help determine whether your child shows signs of dyslexia. Please note that this test is administered only to our incoming students.

We are literacy experts, and our Reading Specialist has more than 10 years of documented 100% success rate in literacy intervention, remediation, and prevention.
This link helps you to choose an effective reading tutor(https://www.multisensoryreadingclinic.com/dyslexia-highly-skilled-effective-tutor)
Our rates are comparable to—or even lower than—those of other reading specialists who provide high-quality services, as well as professionals such as psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists.
While some tutoring centers may advertise lower rates, this does not necessarily mean they are more affordable in the long run. Ineffective or poorly targeted instruction can end up costing more—both financially and psychologically—for individuals with dyslexia, due to prolonged struggles, repeated interventions, or impacts on confidence and self-esteem.
Here are some important questions to consider when evaluating your child's current tutoring:
1. Does your child's tutor provide appropriate instruction, including strategies, rules, and techniques aligned with the English language? If so, what progress has your child made in reading and spelling?
2. From the very beginning of lessons, the tutor should not only teach the correct sounds but also provide strategies and techniques for connecting, changing, and removing sounds. They should teach the rules of the English language so your child can begin accurately reading and spelling simple words—both familiar and unfamiliar—such as zim, vox, rub, bap, bet, kin, trick, brink, drag, and sting.
3. Once your child achieves fluency with these minimal (one-syllable) words, the tutor should then provide instruction, strategies, and techniques for reading longer words independently, followed immediately by guidance on spelling longer words.
4. Finally, if your child has completed more than 15 sessions and still cannot connect sounds, read, or spell familiar and unfamiliar words—or remains confused about when to use c, k, or ck (especially in spelling)—then you may be wasting valuable resources without truly helping your child.
Prolonged ineffective instruction can harm your child's self-esteem and confidence in ways that are difficult to reverse.

Our rate is the same as that of other Orton-Gillingham tutors who have received the same excellent Orton-Gillingham instruction from highly skilled Orton-Gillingham teachers in the USA and highly skilled professors in Canada. I have great respect for my professors—both from the USA and Canada—who have taught me so well for my mission.
Do you know that we have students who have been taught by certified Orton-Gillingham tutors for more than three months, yet they still cannot connect and pull out the sounds properly? They continue to have problems reading and spelling simple words such as zim, trick, sting, and brig. Unbelievable!
This is because Orton-Gillingham is just an approach/method for reading, and the "Orton-Gillingham" tutor must create his or her own reading program. We are proud to say that we have a 100% success reading and spelling program—our very own Multisensory Reading & Spelling Program!
Our Multisensory Reading and Spelling Program is a well-designed and well-implemented individualized instruction for one-to-one therapeutic tutoring. It is based on your child's specific learning needs and his or her capacity to learn, and we will teach your child strategies tailored to his or her difficulties. For example, if your child is confused about why the letter c becomes the /k/ sound (as in cot) and why it also becomes the /s/ sound (as in cent), then he or she will receive targeted strategies to resolve that confusion.
To help you choose a tutor or tutoring center for your child who has not learned to read and spell properly in regular school, you need to ask the tutor:
How can you help my child learn to read and spell?
If your child's tutor—regardless of whether he or she claims to have Orton-Gillingham training or to use an Orton-Gillingham approach—is not teaching the sounds properly, along with the rules, strategies, and techniques of the language (English/French, etc.), then he or she is not teaching your child to read and spell the proper way. The instruction must be well-structured, direct, cumulative, explicit, and multisensory to achieve the best learning results.
Finally, while learning to read and spell depends on your child's capacity to learn, you must notice improvement in your child's reading and spelling skills within at least 15 sessions. For example, your child should be able to connect some sounds and read and spell simple words such as rib, sap, and muck—even if he or she has not seen these words before.
Otherwise, you are not only wasting your resources, but you are also not helping your child improve.

No.

There is no definite answer to your question because several factors are involved:
1. Your child's current reading level and his expected grade level when he enrolls in our individualized literacy intervention.
2. Whether spelling skills are addressed alongside reading, which can slow the pace of remediation—especially when working with irregular or exception words (e.g., straight, weird, pharaoh).
3. Your child's individual capacity to learn; we cannot introduce concepts for which he is not yet ready, as this may affect his well-being and lead to meltdowns.
4. How frequently he meets with the tutor and whether he receives support at home (e.g., practicing previously learned words).
5. The level of difficulty of the concepts he needs to master.
Definitely, yes! As a matter of fact all of our new students must start with 15 initial sessions.
Definitely yes! You have the option not to finish the program.
Onsite or online via Teams
No. We do not offer that kind of service.
It depends on the student. Some students can handle either online or in-person sessions, while others cannot. We’ll let you know after the reading assessment or as tutoring progresses.
Yes, we do, optional, but highly recommended to do our homework.
Our homework mostly consists of practicing reading words using the word cards to build fluency, reinforce learned concepts, and speed up the learning process — helping to close the gap between your child and their peers.
