Testimonial

I’m in love with having my own personal assistant Rebekah Vincent | Certified Barton tutor

After taking Kimberly Sclarksy Downey’s class on dyslexia tutoring and ChatGPT, I’m in love with having my own personal assistant! Today I had a student struggling on his Barton Book 3 Post Test, mixing up words ending with ‘nch’, ‘ck’, and ‘nk’. Normally it would take me some time to put together some extra practice words. Not today!

RWSR tutor community

The RWSR Professional Development Forum is a private, members-only space for dyslexia tutors committed to ongoing learning. Instead of being buried in social media feeds, every discussion is organized by topic and easy to return to anytime.

Our members are tutors who have experience with more than one program and want to deepen their practice by exploring issues across pedagogies. This kind of open, cross-program conversation is rare — social media tends to keep tutors siloed, but here you’ll find colleagues who are curious, critical, and committed to ongoing growth.

Membership includes:

  • Weekly Office Hours — live Zoom sessions where experienced tutors troubleshoot challenges together.
  • Quarterly Book Clubs — recorded discussions that go deep into research and practice.
  • Ongoing Peer Support — a curated space to share strategies, ask questions, and keep learning.
