Looking for a dyslexia tutor or online dyslexia therapy? Whether you are a parent seeking support for your child or an adult looking to improve reading and spelling skills, I provide structured, multisensory dyslexia therapy tailored to each learner. As a bilingual dyslexia therapist, I work with students in English and Spanish, offering personalized dyslexia tutoring for children and adults, both in person and online. Below are answers to some common questions about how dyslexia therapy works and how it can help. 

What does a dyslexia therapist do?

A dyslexia therapist provides structured, multisensory instruction to help children and adults with dyslexia improve reading, writing, and spelling skills. They assess a student’s literacy strengths and challenges, create a personalized plan, and use evidence-based programs like the Wilson Reading System. Therapy focuses on phonics, decoding, spelling, fluency, and comprehension, helping students gain confidence and independence in reading.

Can adults receive dyslexia therapy?

Yes! Dyslexia therapy for adults is highly effective. Adults who struggle with reading or spelling—or who were never diagnosed as children—can benefit from structured literacy tutoring to improve decoding strategies, spelling, and fluency. Lessons are tailored to adult learning styles and can be provided online or in person.

How does online dyslexia tutoring work?

Online dyslexia tutoring uses a computer and internet connection to deliver personalized, interactive lessons. Students work directly with a therapist in real time, practicing reading, spelling, and marking syllables. Lessons include multisensory activities, practice exercises, and progress tracking, giving the same benefits as in-person sessions. Online sessions are ideal for students who prefer or need remote dyslexia therapy.

How often should dyslexia therapy be provided?

Consistent, frequent practice is essential. Most structured literacy programs, including the Wilson Reading System, recommend 3–4 sessions per week (about 180 minutes total). Regular sessions help students build fluency, accuracy, and automatic reading skills more effectively than sporadic practice.
