COMING SOON! Altitude Tutoring will begin offering comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations to identify ADHD, learning disorders, and giftedness in April 2025!
Yes, Altitude provides 1-on-1 and partnership online tutoring.
In one word, NO. Online tutoring with an expert interventionist is nothing like whole class or small group pandemic online learning. Online tutoring is personable, collaborative, and interactive. Because the work that we do is tailored to each individual student and our tutors are dyslexia interventionists, every child will get exactly what he or she needs.
Most students respond better to the virtual environment than parents expect. We have found this is true even for very young students. Likewise, most parents of online students appreciate not having to drive and wait for their child while they are in a tutoring session. If we find that online is not a fit for your child for any reason (this has yet to happen for any of our students), we can switch to in-person instruction. If we do not live in the same geographic area, you will be referred to another qualified in-person tutor (if available).
Yes, Altitude's online students show the same amount of progress as in-person students.
Altitude Tutoring was born in Colorado, hence the name, but is now located in our founder's home state of Florida. Altitude's home office is located in Land O' Lakes, Florida and serves in-person students around the greater Tampa area. Altitude's expert online interventionists serve students all over the world.
No, Altitude does not offer tutoring in other subjects. We are experts in literacy instruction (reading, writing, and spelling).
Altitude interventionists use the synthesis of knowledge acquired from extensive work with dyslexic and dysgraphic learners to develop lessons that will yield the best possible results. We match instruction and materials to each student's individual needs. Every child is unique and will advance at his/her own pace. The pace of instruction is dictated by the child’s understanding and progress, not by a set timeframe. Altitude's goal is to consistently provide effective and efficient results for every child.
Yes, Altitude Tutoring is an approved direct pay provider with the Step Up For Students scholarship program in Florida. Step Up For Students is a state-approved nonprofit scholarship funding organization that helps administer scholarships for Florida schoolchildren.
