Our structured literacy program can teach students with or without a diagnosis of dyslexia to read in about 80 hours. Our goal is to teach your child to read, not just learn how to decode or make reading "progress". Our vision is for all of our students to become beach readers, a reader who reads because they can and want to.
All of our tutors are certified in LearnUp's Structured Literacy program by Steve Tattum, the founder of our reading program and LearnUp's Reading Director. Each tutor goes through an extensive training program and after a 60-hour supervised practicum meets with Steve T. for their certification exam. Steve wants to hire, train, and certify tutors who meet his high expectations for teaching reading using his program.
LearnUp seeks out and hires tutors who are great with kids, particularly students who have Learning Differences and who have the potential to become excellent reading tutors.
Steve has been teaching kids to read for over 40 years. He developed the Tattum Reading Program and is partnering with LearnUp to scale his successful curriculum with more students and schools in the Bay Area and beyond.
Steve is a lifelong educator and nonprofit manager. Steve began his career as a classroom educator in the San Francisco Unified School District. As a teacher, he created outdoor and experiential programs for students at-risk of dropping out of school.
Steve holds a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and a secondary education credential and master's degree in Education from San Francisco State University.
