Tutor Journeys
This website has text to speech.
Our tutors are the heart of what we do. They come from different backgrounds, such as educators, professionals, and parents, but share a common purpose: to empower students who learn differently.
Through training, mentorship, and hands-on experience, our tutors discover not only how to transform the lives of students but also how this work transforms their own.
Here are some of their inspiring stories.
Tutor Denise’s Journey
Denise talks about why she joined ETC, what she learned through the training process, and how the support of the ETC team makes tutoring so meaningful.
Her story highlights the importance of ongoing professional development and the difference tutors make by showing up with consistency and care.
The ETC Tutor Experience
Being an ETC tutor means:
Receiving 40+ hours of Orton-Gillingham based training plus a practicum with a master teacher.
Joining a team that shares knowledge and support.
Building long-term relationships with students and families.
Watching students move from frustration to confidence — and celebrating every milestone.
Why Tutor Journeys Matter
Just as every student has a unique learning journey, every tutor has a story of growth, discovery, and impact. These stories remind us that at ETC, we’re not just teaching reading and spelling, we’re changing lives, one lesson at a time.
