Langsford of St. Matthews

Langsford of St. Matthews is a tutoring service in St. Matthews, KY. The Langsford Method was developed by founder Stephen McCrocklin, who struggled with reading himself and was diagnosed with dyslexia after graduating college with a degree in science, and his wife Claudia, a special education teacher. Langsford was founded in 1992 and has worked with more than 3,000 students. Instruction is available online and in person in Louisville, KY. The service holds a rating of 4.90. The Langsford Method differs from conventional tutoring. A learning specialist builds a custom Action Plan for each student from the bottom up, rather than using a workbook or prepackaged program, and leads strategy and evaluation while instructors handle day-to-day teaching. Students are tested up front to identify areas of need, progress is monitored and the plan recalibrated every five instruction hours, and a formal re-evaluation closes out the work. On average, students improve reading by 2.5 grade levels in 14 weeks, and many complete the program in a single semester. Parents receive tools to support progress at home, and Langsford collaborates with students' schools, teachers, and other professionals. Terms are pay-as-you-go with no contracts, cancellation at any time, and financing available. Langsford of St. Matthews is located at 2520 Bardstown Rd. Families describe the change in concrete terms: a daughter reading a road sign six weeks after starting, a first grader who was falling behind moving onto the honor roll, and a student who went from a first grade to a sixth grade reading level and now finishes chapter books in a week. Langsford of St. Matthews brings that same one-to-one, evidence-based reading instruction to children in St. Matthews.
