About Us

Our goal is to use the power of personalized instruction grounded in evidence-aligned instruction to make a positive impact on how your child approaches reading, writing, mathematics, and school in general. 

We believe that every child can succeed and grow confidence when given appropriate individualized instruction from experts in the field. Through intentional collaboration with families, we ensure that students get all the skills they need to be successful. 

Our lessons are tailored to your child's needs, interests, and personality. We use targeted, data-driven instruction to ensure that your child makes timely progress toward achieving grade-level standards and beyond.

We know that learning is easier when you have an excellent teacher. Reading Ready DMV educators have achieved advanced degrees in their field and have a wealth of experience with foundational literacy instruction for elementary school students. 

We are dedicated to continuing professional development based on current research in the  field and beyond.

In the midst of the pandemic, Jenelle and Claire, both successful independent tutors, found common ground at a professional development course in DC Public Schools. Their shared passion for evidence-based teaching practices led them to collaborate on a new initiative, Reading Ready DMV, aimed at addressing the growing need for personalized literacy support as students struggled with remote learning.  

Recognizing the challenges students faced, they developed individualized literacy supports rooted in the science of reading, creating engaging experiences that helped students regain their confidence and love for learning. Their innovative approach quickly gained traction, leading to an influx of families seeking their services.  

Nearly five years later, Reading Ready DMV has continued to expand its offerings, now providing literacy support for PreK-8, school-based consulting, and family partnerships. Their recent initiative, Reading Ready DMV Plus (RR DMV+), has introduced targeted math instruction, further broadening their impact. With flexible virtual scheduling and a growing team of expert practitioners, RR DMV has extended its reach beyond the DC Metropolitan area, continuing to redefine individualized instruction for diverse learners.

• Your child has not yet mastered grade-level standards.
• You want to prevent "summer slide": the common regression in skills that happens on long breaks from school.
• You'd like to fill in the academic gaps that aren't being filled at school through individualized attention.
• You want to see how your child could grow outside of the classroom setting with a professional's one-on-one instruction.
