Teaching Philosophy & Method

aspire 2
  • We believe in quality tutoring given with high doses of emotional support.
  • We support students emotionally and academically as they conquer their reading and spelling challenges
  • At Aspire, a child’s confidence grows with their improvements in reading, writing, and spelling.
  • Our students thrive because they discover that they can succeed.
  • We hire empathetic, caring tutors who understand children with learning struggles.
  • They understand that the social and emotional issues tied to struggling with reading and spelling are as important to overcome as gaining the ability to read, write and spell at grade level.
  • We work to help children understand that they can do this…they can succeed.
  • Because of this, children enjoy coming to Aspire, and they enjoy the tutoring experience, even though it is hard work for them.

Aspire believes in quality, trained professionals delivering Orton-Gillingham reading programs as designed.

Aspire Academy trains our tutors to the highest standards in the industry. We encourage all tutors to earn their Level 1 Wilson Certification. 120 further training hours are required to achieve Wilson Level 1 Certification, which also involves 60 lesson plans that must be graded and direct observation by the Wilson Language Company. Wilson Certified Executive Director of Aspire, Heidi Stoffel, monitors and mentors tutors.

All our tutors have received training from the Wilson Language Company and a certified Wilson practitioner. Our tutors have access to the extensive Wilson Academy website and have access to all Wilson materials online and at home. We invest in our tutors’ training because it directly contributes to the success your child makes.

Aspire also hosts regular tutor-lunch-and-learns on dyslexia, and we have a private Facebook page where we post advice and success tips.
