Applying for tutoring

---

Thank you for your interest in the services we provide to struggling readers.  

If you are interested in receiving our services for yourself our your child, please submit the application and return it along with the required financial documentation.  To determine financial qualification we will need the total annual income of all adults in the household and the documentation to support it.  Please submit the most recent taxes that indicate the total annual earnings for all adults in the household (most recently filed federal tax Form 1040, pg. 1, with all social security numbers blacked out).  All disability, child support, and/or unemployment should be included in the income.  If there have been any changes in income, please submit the changes in writing.  Forms are downloadable from our site (below) or a hard copy can be sent to you through the mail by contacting our office.

To determine financial qualification, we will compare household size along with total income, to corresponding guidelines for median income.  Those with income below those guidelines financially qualify.  With additional grant funding, the financial requirements have expanded to include those up to low-middle income.  

We will consider the concerns presented in relation to the possibility of the presence of a significant reading problem.  Those who qualify will be accepted for a free, brief cognitive educational screening to determine eligibility.  A formal diagnosis of a learning disability will not be made and documentation of the results will not be distributed.  There is typically a one week period to review the submitted application and an eight week period before approved students are matched with a tutor.  We appreciate your patience during this time.
