Tutors for Dyslexia & ADHD: Reviews, Rating & Resources For Your Situation

Who are the best tutors for Dyslexia & ADHD?

This is one of the questions I get asked most frequently in social settings when parents of children with ADHD or Dylexia find out what I do.

When I decided to open my business and run with my unique style, the recurring questions were, “Are you worried about your competitors, do you think you will have enough business?”

My response today is the same as it was 7 years ago. My intention is to focus on the ONE child who needs my unique style and the ONE that I know I can help.

My goal is for everyone who needs help to find the right services for their individual needs. Statistics told me that ONE in five people think differently.

I believed with those kind of odds, there would be enough business for diversity in services.

That is why I don’t consider other business in my  community who provide assistance in my field, as competition.

The following businesses provide services locally and I encourage all of my parents to do their research before choosing which business is right for them.
