Homeschool Reading, Writing and Language

At STRIDES Tutoring your child will make amazing progress with one of our dedicated tutors. For two decades in Upstate SC, our instructors have changed the lives of thousands of students. Progress is targeted at reading and math to give each student the basic tools needed for academic success and throughout life. Students are evaluated in reading and/or math skills so Dr. Everett can build a plan for achievement.

The tutor follows this plan, meeting with the child twice weekly, consulting with Dr. Everett as needed. You will see success in weeks, not months.

Home school parents are invited to learn our special techniques to use at home.

Students ages 6-20 are welcome, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, or other disabilities. Those who read above 1 st grade make an average of one grade progress for each six weeks attendance. Most students attend in person, but online tutoring is available.

Your child’s tutor is waiting to help at six locations: Easley, Berea, Cherrydale, Greenville, Ft Inn, or Taylors.

Check out our Five Star reviews on Google, or ask our parents—they will be happy to share their kids’ achievement. No more tears at reading or math!
