The mission of the Dyslexia Tutoring Program is to teach low-income children and adults with dyslexia or a language-based learning difference to read. This is accomplished
through a professional
screening assessment
and tutoring by
volunteers whom
we have trained
in The Orton-
Gillingham
method of reading,
writing, and spelling.

Training Schedule for Tutors

Our program provides free screening and remedial tutoring for low-income adults and children throughout Maryland with dyslexia and other language based learning differences.

Our course is offered free of charge to those who commit to 60 hours of tutoring. The tutor and the student decide upon the actual tutoring schedule.

Training courses typically consist of 8 or 9 consecutive 2 ½ hour classes. The Dyslexia Tutoring Program will supply the tutoring and training materials for all tutors. Your instructor will inform you of any additional materials needed. We do ask that you please bring a pen and paper for note taking on the first day of class. After receiving your completed application, all volunteers must come to our office for a brief interview with the Education Coordinator prior to the first scheduled day of training. Potential tutors will also need to provide a list of references and will be subject to a criminal background check. If you have any questions please feel free to call us at 410-889-5487.

*Class dates and instructors are subject to change.
** Optional 9th class if instructor feels it’s needed.

Check back periodically for an updated course list. New classes will be added.
