School services are an important part of TLC
We partner with private schools to bring dyslexia support directly into the school environment. Our specialists collaborate with teachers, administrators, and families to build a consistent plan around each learner — so the strategies that work in a tutoring session carry through the whole school day.
From screening and consultation to on-site intervention, TLC helps schools create an environment where dyslexic students feel understood and set up to succeed.
