Every child can become a reader.
One-on-one, research-based dyslexia tutoring and special-education advocacy from a credentialed teacher who has guided struggling readers since 2014.
Our mission
Confident readers, one lesson at a time
Since 2014, Blossom, Learn & Grow has provided professional one-on-one tutoring to guide and support dyslexic students in reaching their highest potential.
We use an evidence- and research-based, Orton-Gillingham–influenced program to teach dyslexic students to read, write, and spell — building their confidence as they become readers.

How we help
Two ways we support your family
One-on-One Dyslexia Tutoring
Structured, multisensory instruction in reading, phonics, decoding, spelling, comprehension, vocabulary, and writing — built on the Barton Reading & Spelling System.
Special-Education Advocacy
Navigate IEPs and 504s with confidence. We write goals, review documents, draft letters, and stand beside you at school and district meetings.
The Barton difference
Proven, science-of-reading instruction
Dyslexic children are too often under-served in school. The Barton Reading & Spelling System is an Orton-Gillingham–based, structured-literacy approach designed specifically for the way dyslexic brains learn — sound by sound, rule by rule, with nothing left to guesswork.
Multisensory
Sight, sound, and touch work together so skills stick.
Systematic
Explicit, sequential lessons — "I do, we do, you do."
Individualized
Paced to your child, never to a classroom average.
Families say it best
Hope, unlocked
You are magical!!! He has not put this book down since yesterday. He even slept with it. This is the first book he has EVER read like this. You’ve unlocked something in him. He came alive with that book last night. All of a sudden, he could do it and his confidence was incredible to see. Thank you SO much.
— J. Maria, parentYou are the angel we have been desperately needing for T!! In this short time I already feel such a sense of hope and I am so very excited and thankful to have met you!! We have felt so lost and just didn’t know what to do.
