Frequently Asked Questions

Who are these sessions for?

These sessions are designed for tutors, educators, interventionists, or reading specialists who want to strengthen their practice in structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham, or dyslexia intervention. Whether you’re just getting started or are years into your practice and looking for a sounding board, you’re welcome here.

What can we talk about during a session?

On our call together, we’ll talk about what you’re struggling with and quickly drill down to the root of your challenges.
Some common topics include:

– Adapting multisensory instruction or Orton Gillingham for different learners
– Lesson planning and pacing
– Choosing or creating materials
– Organizing assessment data and progress monitoring files
– Managing parent communication
– Setting up your tutoring business

Do I need to be OG-certified to book a session?

Not at all. These sessions are open to anyone working in structured literacy, whether you’re OG-certified, trained in another approach, or just starting to learn.

Can I send materials for review ahead of time?

Yes! If you’d like feedback on a lesson plan or student work sample, you can email it to Lindsey@alignedacademics.com at least 24 hours in advance. This helps us make the most of our time together.

Will the session be recorded?

Recording is optional. If you’d like a copy of our call for your own reference, just let me know in advance.

Do you offer ongoing mentorship?

Yes—if you’re interested in regular support, packages for continued coaching are available. Feel free to ask about this during your first session.

Do you offer any low-cost options or scholarships?

We try to make support available for as many people as possible. To help with this, we have a few options available:

1. A limited number of sliding scale sessions are available. Please reach out to inquire.
2. There is a monthly tutor meetup group that meets via Zoom near the end of the month. This is free and open to anyone who wants to join. Anyone can ask questions in our group-friendly format. Please join https://www.facebook.com/groups/893393438064701
