Multi-sensory literacy tutoring by trained experts
Literacy, the ability to read, write and spell, is a key pillar for a successful learning journey and builds confidence in your child to develop their full potential.
Novel provides one-to-one Literacy Tutoring for struggling readers and students with Dyslexia and ADHD. Our literacy experts are trained on our in-house curriculum that is evidence-based and grounded in Structured Literacy.
Trained Novel Tutors perform an initial assessment of your child’s strengths and learning situation to develop a customized learning plan that best fits their specific needs and learning style.
Students typically work with a tutor twice a week for engaging and fun 30-minute virtual sessions. Traditionally, parents see a noticeable change in their child’s learning trajectory between the first 15-20 hours of tutoring.
Novel Online Tutoring is accessible to families anywhere in the United States and Canada, and you can start working with your personal tutor in a matter of days after your initial consultation.
