Get Started
Let’s Take the First Step Together
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already tried everything — apps, workbooks, extra practice, maybe even other tutors.
And yet, your child is still struggling, and you’re still worried.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to figure this out alone.
The very first step is simply a conversation — a free 30-minute Discovery Session designed to give you clarity and hope.
Your Free Discovery Session
What It Is:
A relaxed, judgment-free chat where we’ll talk about your child’s reading challenges, what you’ve already tried, and what might finally make a difference.
Most parents tell me they leave this call feeling lighter — like a weight has been lifted — because for the first time, they have a clear plan forward.
We’ll discuss:
Your child’s specific struggles and strengths
What methods you’ve tried so far
(and why they may not have worked yet)
Your goals as a parent and what you hope to see change
Whether the Barton Method could be the right fit
What working together would look like
What This Isn’t
This call is not a sales pitch or a test — it’s a genuine opportunity to talk things through.
This isn’t:
A pressured sales conversation
A test or evaluation of your child
(they don’t need to be present)
A commitment to anything beyond the call
New skills continually reinforce what came before.
This is:
A chance to talk openly with someone who understands
Free guidance and encouragement from a certified Barton tutor
A way to explore next steps without pressure
What Happens After Our Call
Here’s a peek inside a typical session:
If we decide we’re a good fit:
We’ll schedule an Initial Assessment:
(gentle and encouraging, not a test)
I’ll create a personalized learning plan tailored to your child’s needs
We’ll discuss schedule and logistics for ongoing sessions
Your child will meet me in a comfortable, supportive environment designed to help them feel safe and confident
If we decide we’re not the right fit:
I’ll recommend other trusted resources
You’ll still leave with clarity, direction, and next steps
No pressure. No hard feelings. Just the right help for your family.
Ready to Begin?
You don’t have to keep wondering if your child will ever catch up or feel confident again.
With the right approach, they absolutely can.
