Tutoring

At Denver Academy, we pride ourselves on differentiated learning to support each student's learning style. In addition to this unique approach in each classroom, we are happy to offer year-round tutoring services to both Denver Academy students and those attending other schools.

Tutoring services can be provided virtually or in person on the DA Campus as long as masks are worn, in accordance with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) guidelines.

  • Orton-Gillingham Tutoring

    This multi-sensory phonics-based program is designed for students who have difficulties with reading, spelling, and writing most commonly associated with dyslexia. Experienced Denver Academy trained instructors will provide one-on-one tutoring utilizing the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading. Tutoring includes: 
    • Direct, systematic and sequential instruction of the Orton-Gillingham approach, individualized for the student
    • All teachers 40 + hours trained
    • Spelling and reading review of sounds and words; spelling and reading new concepts and applying these skills in reading a book or passage
    As part of the tutoring hour, we will conduct a pre-assessment of current achievement levels to determine the proper starting point of lessons. Current educational testing can be substituted for the pre-assessment.
