Online education that is more effective and more convenient than a tutor
Your student’s schedule is already packed with school, work and family commitments. Adding in time with a tutor can be overwhelming.
That is why so many parents turn to our online learning system to build reading confidence in their children.
Langsford has taken core teaching tenets formed over 30 years of in-person instruction and designed an online experience customized for each participant.
This program minimizes the inconvenience of travel time and waiting rooms, helping students learn to read better and faster than a traditional tutor.
Customized instruction just a click away
We have converted Langsford’s in-person standard of excellence into the online setting:
- Live, 1:1 Instruction: A real, trained instructor works directly with your child each day. All sessions are live and one-on-one.
- Proven Process: For three decades, we taught in person before adding online education in 2020. Our structured, research-backed Langsford method is the same for both in-person and online, and the results are equally successful either way. Outside research shows that online instruction can be even more effective for many students.
- Feedback Loop: Our secure online dashboard is accessible 24/7 and allows for sustained communication between both instructor and student and parents and the Langsford Team.
- Tracked Time & Accountability: We monitor every session for productivity and even track minutes lost to technical or behavioral issues—so you never pay for time that wasn’t useful.
Student comfort is key
Feeling secure in the process is very important for success.
Online learners use a recurring video conference link, making getting started easy and predictable.
They will be asked to complete short surveys when they finish each session to make sure they feel they are getting what they need.
Parent involvement made easy
Langsford removes the anxiety around knowing how instruction is progressing by providing a few extra resources.
Live Dashboard Access
Our online portal allows parents to log in and view easy-to-understand outputs, including:
- Session productivity
- Student engagement graphs
- Notes from instructors and learning specialists
Transparent Feedback
Post-session surveys completed by both instructors and students are reviewed by Learning Specialists and parents receive timely feedback reporting, removing long wait times between formal update meetings.
Missed Time Credits
Instructors keep tabs on any session time that isn’t maximized. If time is lost due to tech issues on our end, we will credit it back to you—no questions asked.
It all starts with a call.

We’re not fighting about homework
“Langsford is just so unique and so different than we were taught in school. It was amazing.
As our daughter went through the program, I would drive her over every day. I could see the world expanding in front of her. She would ask me, 'Dad, why does that sign say this?' or 'What's ATM mean?' I could see her immediately learning and decoding as we were going. Before, she just sat in the car and was quiet.
It's made things just so much easier for our lives. When she comes home, we're not fighting about homework—she's ready to do it.
At the beginning of second grade, she was hesitant to raise her hand. By the second half of second grade, they were telling us, “She's engaged, she's been participating much more!” Everything we get home from the teachers now is that she works harder than almost any of the students. She's always engaged and participating in discussions. That kind of leap from the beginning of second grade to where we are now in third grade? It was just a complete overhaul.”
