2026 National Study Reveals Increasing Costs of High-Quality Reading Tutoring Across America
Denver, CO, United States, 13th Feb 2026 – A new national study conducted by The Reading Guru – the 2026 National Reading Tutoring Cost Study – has shed light on the increasing costs of high-quality reading tutoring in the 25 largest metro areas across the United States.
The data, gathered from a comprehensive analysis of tutoring fees charged by more than 80 tutoring services nationally, highlights both the high overall costs that parents are paying to ensure their kids learn to read and significant variations in pricing from city to city.
Key findings from the study include:
- The average cost nationally for a 60-minute session with a Science of Reading / Orton-Gillingham tutor is now $113.06.
- Since 2024, the average cost of Science of Reading / Orton-Gillingham tutoring has increased by 4.6% percent.
- For a typical 9-month course of tutoring, once per week, that amounts to an average cost nationally of $4,409!
- Los Angeles has taken the crown for the highest average cost per-60 minute session, coming in at $185.00, up a whopping 13.5%.
- Parents in New York, NY are saving a little bit, as the market now suffers only the second highest average cost per 60-minute session, down from first, coming in at $161.67, down 1.6%.
- Parents in Washington, DC, face an average cost of $156.67 per hour, up 8.4%, making it one of the priciest markets for Orton-Gillingham tutoring.
- Phoenix, AZ still has the lowest Orton-Gillingham tutoring costs in the nation, with an average cost of $75.42 per session, but that number is up 15% since the last study.
In light of the substantial declines in reading performance seen in the recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report, commonly known as The Nation’s Report Card, the cost and availability of Orton-Gillingham reading tutoring has become a real issue.
Since many school districts still haven’t switched to Science of Reading-based curricula, parents increasingly rely on private tutoring to help their children catch up. The costs, unfortunately, can be significant, ranging from $4,409 for a typical 9-month course of tutoring, once per week, up to $11,758 for a year-long course of tutoring, twice per week.
“This updated study demonstrates the significant costs for Orton-Gillingham tutoring overall, and also helps us see the differences in the cost of Orton-Gillingham reading tutoring services between different metro areas,” said Joanna Brown, founder and CEO of The Reading Guru, a leading provider of online Orton-Gillingham reading tutoring. “Working with an online provider can offer significant savings for parents in high-cost cities, but it’s worth noting that as tutors increasingly work online, costs are going up even in less expensive tutoring markets.”
Additionally, Brown explains, “This year, even more reading tutoring companies were non-responsive or completely maxed out – no available slots for new students. It’s so important that kids with dyslexia or other reading difficulties get the right help, which means Orton-Gillingham-based tutoring, when they need it. Don’t give up! Parents should keep contacting tutors until they find a qualified reading tutor, in-person or online, with the right OG tutoring skills.”
The Science of Reading emphasizes the need for systematic, explicit instruction in phonics, phonemic awareness, and decoding skills, all of which are central components of the Orton-Gillingham approach, noted Joanna Brown. “Orton-Gillingham tutoring can play a critical role in closing literacy gaps and fostering academic success, especially as kids are increasingly exposed to addictive apps and AI.”
With a growing recognition of the importance of evidence-based approaches to literacy education, Orton-Gillingham stands out as a research-supported method for helping struggling readers, particularly those with dyslexia.
The study also revealed notable mid-range markets, with Miami, Stamford (CT), Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, New Jersey, Baltimore, Orlando, Dallas, Tampa, Denver, and Atlanta averaging between $95.50 and $128.67 per 60-minute session with a high-quality reading tutor.
Despite the wide range of costs, the demand for Orton-Gillingham tutoring continues to increase across the nation, reflecting its effectiveness in supporting individuals with dyslexia and other reading difficulties.

STARTRADER in Discussions with Trustpilot to Consolidate Review Profiles
DUBAI, UAE, August 7th, 2026, FinanceWire
STARTRADER is in ongoing discussions with Trustpilot about a proposed consolidation of its existing review profiles into a single listing. The matter remains under discussion, and no timeline for completion has been confirmed. STARTRADER confirms that the matter has no impact to date on its operations or client services.

Some clients may have noticed changes to STARTRADER’s Trustpilot presence, including to the displayed rating, review count, or review history. These changes are not related to the proposed consolidation exercise described above, or to STARTRADER’s trading platforms, products, or client support, all of which continue to operate as per normal.
STARTRADER will provide further updates as discussions with Trustpilot progress. Clients with questions in relation to this matter can reach out through STARTRADER’s client support channels.

Press Release
Radiant Smiles Dental Care Opens Third Clinic in Denmark, Western Australia
Australia, 7th Aug 2026 – Radiant Smiles Dental Care, a renowned provider of general, cosmetic, and restorative dental services, has announced that its clinic at 5/31 South Coast Highway will open on Monday, 10 August 2026. The site represents the third location operated under the Radiant Smiles Dental Care name and will provide routine examinations, preventive care, restorative treatment, and emergency appointments to residents of Denmark and the surrounding shire. The opening extends the practice’s operations further into regional Western Australia and responds to continued demand from patients who have previously travelled considerable distances for treatment.

Denmark sits approximately 400 kilometres south of Perth and around 50 kilometres west of Albany, and serves as a service centre for a dispersed rural population across the Denmark and Walpole districts. Access to dental care in smaller regional communities has been a longstanding issue across the state, with waiting periods and travel time frequently cited by patients in the Great Southern as barriers to routine attendance. Regional service coverage has been the subject of ongoing discussion within the Western Australian health sector, particularly in relation to preventive care and the management of untreated decay.
The Denmark clinic will offer the same categories of treatment available at the practice’s existing locations. These include general dentistry such as examinations, scale and clean appointments, fillings, extractions, and root canal treatment; cosmetic services including teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and bridges; dental implants and dentures; and orthodontic options covering traditional braces and clear aligner systems including Invisalign. Paediatric appointments and emergency treatment for issues such as dental trauma, lost restorations, and acute pain will also be available at the site during opening hours.
“Opening a clinic in Denmark reflects a practical response to what patients across the Great Southern have described for some time, which is the difficulty of arranging regular dental appointments without a long drive,” said Dr Anand Ponnusamy, Principal Dentist at Radiant Smiles Dental Care Denmark. “Establishing a permanent presence in the town allows treatment to be planned properly, with follow-up appointments scheduled locally rather than bundled into a single visit. That change matters most for restorative work and for children, where consistency has a direct effect on outcomes.”
The South Coast Highway premises have been fitted out to support both preventive and restorative treatment on site, reducing the number of cases requiring referral elsewhere. The clinic will open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. Those hours reflect an initial schedule while patient numbers in the district are established, and the practice has confirmed that any change will be published once demand is assessed. Appointments can be arranged ahead of the opening date by telephone or through the practice’s website.

More complex procedures requiring additional planning or laboratory work will be coordinated between the Denmark clinic and the practice’s metropolitan sites, allowing patients to complete preliminary consultations closer to home and travel only when clinically necessary. The practice has indicated that treatment planning for implants, dentures, and full-arch restorative work will follow the same clinical protocols applied at its other locations, with records shared across sites so that continuity is maintained for patients who attend more than one clinic.
“The intention over the coming period is to build a stable patient base in Denmark and to assess which services are needed most consistently in the district,” said Ponnusamy. “Decisions about extending trading hours or adding chairs will follow from actual demand rather than projections. The practice also expects to work alongside local health providers, particularly in relation to paediatric check-ups and referrals for patients with more complex treatment needs.”
Radiant Smiles Dental Care Denmark is a general dental practice providing preventive, restorative, cosmetic, orthodontic, paediatric, and emergency services to patients across the Great Southern region. The clinic treats patients of all ages and offers treatment planning across implants, dentures, and full-arch restorative work in addition to routine care. It forms part of a group that now operates three clinics servicing both metropolitan and regional Western Australia, and begins accepting patients from Monday.
For additional information about Dentist Denmark appointments and related industry developments, contact Radiant Smiles Dental Care Denmark. Inquiries regarding the practice’s services, treatment options, appointment availability, and emergency care can be directed to (08) 6386 8000 or by email at denmark@radiantsmiles.com.au.
