Become a Tutor With Dyslexia Tutoring Program - Next Free OG Training Course starts 11/11/2025!

Dyslexia Tutoring Program removes barriers to literacy through free one-on-one tutoring, professional assessments, and other services for children and adults with dyslexia or language-based differences in greater Baltimore. Since 1985, we have helped thousands of individuals from strategically underinvested communities learn how to read and unlock their potential. All our services are provided free - so everyone can learn to read.

Dyslexia Tutoring Program(DTP) is holding a hybrid Orton Gillingham tutor training course starting November 11, 2025! Classes meet twice a week from 11/11/2025 through 12/09/2025.

WHEN & WHERE:

• Tuesdays in person from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm at The Orokawa Y of Central Maryland, 600 W. Chesapeake Avenue, Towson, MD 21204. Parking is available.
• Thursdays via Zoom from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm. Zoom link will be provided prior to first class.

Training is FREE in return for your commitment to tutor a student in our program for 60 hours. This 30 hour, Level I Orton-Gillingham course teaches you the structured, multisensory literacy skills you'll need to tutor a student with a dyslexic learning style and help them learn how to read. DTP provides all materials and supplies and you receive ongoing support through mentoring sessions, workshops, and dedicated staff to help you and your student succeed!
