Frequently Asked Questions

What makes RightMinds Tutoring different from other tutoring centers?

We specialize in working with students who learn differently, including students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences. Our programs are evidence-based and multisensory, and we support the whole child through structured literacy, multisensory math, neurodiversity coaching, hands-on workshops, and surf lessons.

What ages and grade levels do you work with?

We work with students from early elementary through high school. Orton-Gillingham and Wilson support foundational and intensive reading needs, while coaching and online options can be especially helpful for middle and high school students who need support with academics, organization, and confidence.

Do you offer both in-person and online tutoring?

Yes. We offer in-person tutoring at our Satellite Beach and Cocoa Beach centers for Orton-Gillingham reading and writing, multisensory math, and coaching. We also offer online Wilson Dyslexia tutoring and virtual coaching sessions.

How many days a week should Orton-Gillingham be taught?

Many students benefit from at least two independent 40–60 minute sessions per week on non-consecutive days, although frequency should be based on the child’s needs, evaluation information, scheduling, and instructional goals.

How do I sign up for tutoring or workshops?

Families can create an account through our website using the TutorBird Family Portal. From there, you can view calendars, reserve sessions, manage account details, access progress updates, and track billing.

What is the TutorBird Family Portal?

TutorBird is the secure family portal we use for scheduling, communication, invoices, payment history, account details, event registration, lesson notes, and progress updates.

Do you accept Step Up for Students scholarships?

Yes. RightMinds Tutoring is a direct bill provider for Step Up for Students, which means eligible families may be able to use scholarship funds without paying out of pocket and waiting for reimbursement.

What is Choice Navigation, and how can it help my family?

Choice Navigation helps families understand and maximize Step Up for Students scholarship options, including eligibility, application, renewal, and planning how funds may be used for educational services.

How do I know if Orton-Gillingham or Wilson is right for my child?

Both are structured, multisensory literacy approaches. Orton-Gillingham is often a strong fit for younger students building foundational skills, while Wilson can be ideal for older students needing systematic, step-by-step intervention. We help determine the best fit during consultation and assessment.

What are Monthly Make & Take Workshops?

Make & Take Workshops are creative monthly events such as soap making, pottery, jewelry design, cookie decorating, science experiments, cooking, and sewing. They build creativity, fine motor skills, problem-solving, confidence, and connection.

Tell me more about the Seas the Day surf lessons.

Friday morning private surf lessons help students build resilience, courage, physical confidence, and perseverance. Surfing gives students a real-life way to practice falling down, getting back up, and celebrating progress.
