You've talked to teachers. You've sat through parent conferences. You've tried school programs, online apps, and late-night homework sessions. But your child is still struggling to understand what they read—or explain it in writing.
Maybe they can read the words but don't grasp the meaning. Maybe they rush through passages, freeze on comprehension questions, or struggle to put their thoughts into writing, no matter how hard they try.
And now, they're frustrated. You're frustrated. And you're starting to realize: this isn't about effort—it's about needing the right kind of support.
At Reading Through Times™, we specialize in helping students in grades 4-12 move from frustrated readers to confident thinkers and writers. Our unique methods work for students in elementary, middle school, and high school—whether they need help catching up, building skills, or preparing for advanced classes.
School-led interventions often stop at surface-level practice.
Reading programs may focus on decoding, but not on comprehension.
Writing apps provide prompts—but not structure or feedback.
What kids really need is:
Personalized tutoring support that meets them where they are.
Proven frameworks that build real comprehension and writing skills.
A consistent method they can apply in every subject.
That's why I develop two signature frameworks:
Read Between the Lines™ (RBTL Method): A step-by step process that helps students actually understand, analyze, and connect with what they read.
R.E.A.D. Writing Framework™: A simple but powerful structure for turning reading into strong, clear writing—so students can explain their thinking with evidence and confidence.
Together, these methods do more than raise test scores—they build lifelong skills your student can use across every subject, grade level, and real-world situation.
"Courtney is an amazing tutor! She's been working with my daughter for almost 6 months now. Her reading fluency and comprehension have grown, and her math skills are getting sharper too. Courtney gives great lessons, communicates well, and always keeps my daughter motivated."
"I can read faster now and understand what I read better. It helepd me get ready for MCAP too."
"I never thought my daughter would start reading on grade level. But now she says, 'I can sound out those words and read them, Mom!' She has so much more confidence. I had to do what I could to book more lessons with Courtney."
