My name is Adam Worcester
I'm an independent reading specialist with 28 years of experience tutoring neurodiverse learners. During that time I've helped more than 250 dyslexic, ADD/ADHD, and other struggling students improve their reading, spelling, comprehension, math, and writing skills.
I've taught students as young as 4 and as old as 65. I would love to help you too.
I provide Orton-Gillingham based, evidence-backed instruction that follows best practices outlined by the National Reading Panel. I'm not locked into one methodology, so I can draw on multiple approaches to ensure learners understand key concepts.
More importantly, I foster a safe, encouraging atmosphere and develop relationships that motivate top effort.
"Programs matter. Knowledge matters. But ultimately teachers are the most important factor in student success." — Dr. Louisa Moats
