Being bilingual is a gift—but literacy in both languages isn't automatic. Many heritage speakers can converse in Spanish but struggle to read or write it. Many English learners never develop confident literacy skills.
Strong literacy in both languages opens doors: academic success, cultural connection, career opportunities, and cognitive benefits like improved problem-solving and mental flexibility.
We help learners build strong foundations in both English and Spanish literacy, using research-based methods and a deep understanding of how language skills transfer between languages.
What We Work On
- Phonemic awareness in both languages
- Decoding and fluency
- Vocabulary development

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you teach in English, Spanish, or both?
All of the above! Some families prefer instruction in one language, others want to develop both. We adapt to your family's needs and can seamlessly switch between languages during sessions.
Is bilingual tutoring only for heritage Spanish speakers?
Not at all. We work with heritage speakers maintaining their Spanish, English learners developing Spanish literacy, and everyone in between. The approach is personalized to your starting point.
What ages do you work with?
We work with learners from age 4 through adulthood. Early literacy foundations, school-age reading and writing, and adult language skills are all within our scope.
How is this different from language classes?
We focus on literacy—reading and writing—not just speaking. And we integrate cognitive development principles, helping learners understand how they process language and how to become more effective readers and writers.
