This Isn’t Just Another Tutoring Program. It’s a Place Where You’ll Be Understood.

At Your Literacy Lighthouse, we teach in a way that respects who you are, what you’ve been through, and how you learn best. Because struggling to read isn’t a weakness—it’s a signal that something needs to change.

See What Learning Looks Like

You’re Not Lazy. You’re Not Behind. You Just Haven’t Been Taught the Right Way—Yet.

If reading or spelling feels frustrating, slow, or confusing for you—you’re not alone. Most students we work with have been trying their best for years, but still feel stuck. They’ve been told to “just try harder,” or “read more,” or “pay attention.” But here’s what we know:

You are not the problem.

The instruction is.

At Your Literacy Lighthouse, we use a totally different approach—one that’s proven to help students just like you finally understand how reading works. We break it down. We go step by step. And we do it in a way that makes sense for you.

Real Progress. Zero Shame.

We Don’t Just Teach Words

—We Teach You How to Read and Spell with Confidence

Depending on your needs, here’s what we might work on together:

Phonics and decoding (how to sound out words).
Spelling and writing patterns (why English looks the way it does).
Reading fluency (how to read with ease and flow).
Vocabulary (what words mean and how to use them).
Comprehension (understanding what you read and remember).
Morphology (learning the building blocks of words: roots, prefixes, suffixes).
Syntax and grammar (how sentences are built to communicate clearly).

We don’t teach one-size-fits-all lessons. We teach you, based on your goals, gaps, and strengths.
