It’s working surprisingly well for my 6 year old, and makes it much easier for us to integrate it twice a week into our schedule.

I've seen online work for many students- including some 4-year olds on Zoom! A good online tutor should be able to address your concerns and be willing to let you do a "free trial" and make accommodations.

We’ve had good luck but been through a few to find the right one.

For children without attention or avoidance issues, online is quite effective. It’s the same methods as in person.

How old? Does your child have any attention disorders?

I think online can work for the right kid and the right tutor. My mildly dyslexic kid started with twice a week in person once a week online and then moved to once a week in person and twice a week online and did very well. But they were on the older side and did not have any problems with attention beyond being a kid. I do think seeing their tutor in person at least once a week was helpful but not necessarily required. Do the best you can and see if they're making any progress after a couple months.

I’m an ASDEC trained tutor and I do both online and in person. I really enjoy in person more, but I can’t say I find it measurably more effective. If the kid can pay attention and follow directions online should work just fine.

We’ve interviewed a bunch of dyslexia tutors with OG certifications, ASDEC, Wilson, etc. The tutor who has availability at times that work for our kid teaches online. We’re planning on doing three 1-hour sessions/week.

Has anyone been successful with tutoring via zoom? My kid liked the tutor and was able to focus for the trial session and assessment, but I wonder if online tutoring is as effective.

My kid has relatively mild dyslexia. Her problems are with orthographic mapping more than phonemic awareness.

Thoughts on online tutors?
