Why parents choose TLH
Small classes, big voices
Groups of four or five, taught live by a real teacher. Every child gets guidance, hears how others think, and has a real audience for their ideas.
Homework on paper
Children write their homework, helping them remember what they learn and shows us how they think. It also means less screen time.
Whole books, not just passages
Reading whole stories builds stamina, vocabulary and the ability to follow a story. Our classes use books instead of worksheets.
In step with school
We teach the skills your child needs at school. Little ones start Grade 1 already reading, early readers build the stamina Grade 2 expects, and Grades 3–5 practice what's expected by the Common Core State Standards.
How you'll know it's working
Progress you can see
We check your child's skills four times a year and send you a short, clear report each time. You'll see what they can do now, what's next, and how we'll help.
We don't promise scores or dates. We show you real progress.
By Grade 5, we're aiming for a child who…
- reads and writes above grade level
- has read 25 or more good novels
- has written and published a story of their own
In their words
What parents say
real families, real progress
TurboPhonics
“My daughter joined without knowing even one phonics sound. Within just 3 months, she can blend and read three-letter words. The classes are very interactive and keep the kids interested the whole time. I highly recommend them.”
