"Until now, there has been no good directory for independent reading tutors. Now families can search for educators like you — by location and specialty — with this simple and clear directory."

— Carrie Birmingham

Our story

Built because it needed to exist

Thousands of skilled reading specialists — teachers, tutors, dyslexia specialists — are working independently full time and part time, running their own small businesses, teaching in person and online.

But families searching for help have nowhere to find them directly. This directory changes that. It's a simple, searchable, trustworthy place where independent reading specialists can be discovered — and where families can reach out without going through a third party.

Simple process

How it works

Getting listed takes about five minutes. There's no interview, no lengthy approval process — just a short form and you're in.

Fill out the form

Tell families who you are, who you work with, your approach, location, and how to reach you. Upload a headshot if you'd like.

Get listed

Your listing is reviewed within one week for completeness and published in the directory, searchable by location, specialty, and approach.

Families find you

Families browsing the directory can see your full listing and contact you directly — no intermediary, no referral fee.

Thinking bigger

Grow your practice — even go full-time

Many reading specialists start out tutoring part-time, fitting sessions around a school job, family life, or other commitments. But if you've ever thought about making this your full-time work, the directory — especially a premium listing — can help you get there.

📍

More local clients, faster

A premium listing puts you at the top of search results in your area, making it easy for nearby families to find you first. The more visible you are, the more consistently your schedule fills.

🌎

Extend your reach across time zones

If you're open to teaching online, the directory connects you with families across North America — and that opens up something most tutors don't fully consider: the ability to extend your teaching window by working across time zones.

Here's how it works in practice: if you're based in the Pacific time zone, students in the Eastern time zone get out of school around noon your time. That means you could be fully booked from noon to 8 p.m. Pacific — covering the after-school windows of families from the East Coast all the way through to your own time zone. No early mornings required.

The same logic applies in every time zone. A tutor in the Central zone can reach into Eastern time for earlier afternoon slots and into Mountain or Pacific for later ones. Wherever you are, there are students in neighboring time zones whose after-school hours don't overlap with yours — and they're simply waiting for someone like you to be available.

For a reading specialist who's ready to grow, that's a meaningful opportunity.

No formal credentials are required to be listed. Certified specialists, licensed teachers, and tutors without formal credentials are equally welcome. You're welcome to display certifications, degrees, or training if you have them. We do not verify any credentials you list, so families will be encouraged to do due diligence to ensure integrity and a good fit.

Of course, sharing the directory and your listing on your social media will spread the word. Second, the more listings we have, the more likely the directory will show up early in a google search, so spread the word! Third, the more we build out the directory, it will become more than a directory; it will be place where families and reading specialists alike can come for information, resources, reading-relevant news, and connections. That building-out will be happening on our end as we add new features!
