FES-UA Tutoring for Gainesville Families

Gainesville is a college town first — home to the University of Florida and a thriving academic culture — but it's also a real community where year-round families raise children through Alachua County Public Schools. The university brings a level of intellectual sophistication to the community, and Gainesville parents are often very well-read on their child's diagnosis and the latest research on dyslexia, autism, and ADHD. They want tutors who know the science, not just the surface.

Alachua County Public Schools is a mid-size district serving about 30,000 students with a strong commitment to inclusion and a relatively progressive special education department, partly influenced by UF's College of Education. But even in a well-resourced academic community, the one-on-one specialist time that children with learning differences truly need isn't available in a school setting. Our tutors bridge that gap — bringing the evidence-based methods (structured literacy, applied behavioral strategies, executive function coaching) that the research supports.

Gainesville FES-UA families can access our services at no out-of-pocket cost through direct Step Up For Students billing. Schedule a free consultation with a specialist who matches your child's profile.
