Online delivery means no traffic and flexible scheduling, so your child or teen can do more frequent sessions and get caught up more quickly.

"Over the summer, I noticed that my daughter (who was going into the 6th grade) was struggling with reading fluently and pronouncing certain words that should come easily to someone her age. I searched for reading tutors and found [Kids Up Reading Tutors]. Daniela and Caitlin worked with her for over 3 months and they transformed her into a strong, confident reader. Her spelling has improved and I can see that she truly enjoys reading now. The team is amazing and I am truly grateful that we found them!"
