F.A.Q.
What Are Your Tutoring Rates?
Tutoring with Online Elementary Tutor is a premium service led by a certified Florida teacher and Learn Reading tutor. For $600 per month, your child receives two 30-minute sessions per week (totaling 4+ hours per month), ongoing assessments, access to RAZ Plus and IXL, a personalized Google Classroom, and a detailed session report after each lesson. Plus, families get direct support from Ms. Nancy anytime to ensure continuous progress and success.
But here’s what you’re really getting: a faster, more effective, and stress-free way to help your child become a confident reader—without wasting time or money on slow progress.
Why Is Our Tutoring the Best Investment?
We are like doctors for reading—quickly diagnosing your child’s struggles and using a proven, customized approach to close the gap efficiently.
Other tutoring centers, like Sylvan, claim to close the reading gap by one full year with 36 hours of instruction at $50 per hour, which adds up to $1,800.
With us, your child can make the same progress in just ONE month for $600 total—saving you time, frustration, and over $1,000!
Even though Sylvan charges less per hour, it takes them three times longer to achieve the same results.

Why Do You Teach Online As An Online Reading Tutor?
I'm a reading specialist that started tutoring kids online because I have a child of my own.
I was looking for a way that I could incorporate my passion of teaching kids with balancing my responsibilities as a mom.
Once I started tutoring reading online as an online reading tutor, I found that I was able to close the gap even quicker online and I really enjoyed working with kids from all over the world.
Additionally, the kids I work with can go on vacations and travel and still work consistently on their reading skills.
Do You Offer In-Home Tutoring?
Yes, I do in-home tutoring.
When students live by me they have the option of doing tutoring online or at my house.
My priority lies in what is best for each individual child.
How Long Will My Child Need Tutoring?
The answer is going to vary based on a couple of factors.
- Learning speed
- Dyslexia
- Consistency
I am able to close a 12 month reading gap with only 8 to 12 hours of instruction.
So, if your child is two years behind and you schedule one-hour sessions each week, your child will be at grade level in 6 months. If you choose to do two hours of tutoring a week, then it will take only three months.
This schedule varies if your child has dyslexia, because it depends on the severity of the dyslexia which can range from mild to severe.
Other factors which can affect quick progress is learning speed. Some kids just need more repetition than others.
In these cases it may take a bit longer, but not too much.
Another factor is consistency.
Sometimes life gets in the way of students being able to show up for their tutoring sessions.
If students miss too many sessions, then it becomes harder to close the gap.
The more consistent we both are, the better results your child gets.
What How Does Online Tutoring Work?
First, Nancy starts with assessing each child to find out where the gaps are.
After she assesses the child, she chats with the parent and lets him/her know what she is noticing.
She comes up with a customized plan for your child that will close the gap quickly for him/her and then meets with your child weekly.
Every 3 months Nancy reassesses the child to find out what gains have been made and what changes need to be made to the instruction to continue to close the gap.
