Meet Jess and the Elite Tutoring Team
I’m Jess Krook, founder of Elite Tutoring Services, a Reading Specialist, and a Certified Dyslexia Coach. With 26 years of teaching experience, helping children become confident readers is still my favorite part of what I do.
I’ve brought together a team of experienced educators with specialized training in Orton Gillingham instruction. We take the time to get to know your child, understand their reading needs, and make lessons engaging and encouraging.
We also believe families should understand what we’re working on and how their child is progressing. Building that partnership is an important part of our approach.
What Sessions Include
Your child receives personalized, 1:1 Orton Gillingham instruction on Zoom in 30 or 45 minute sessions. Depending on their needs, lessons may include:
⭐ Practice hearing and working with sounds in words
⭐ Phonics instruction to help sound out unfamiliar words
⭐ Spelling practice with words and sentences
⭐ Reading practice to build accuracy, fluency, and understanding
⭐ Review to help previously taught skills stick
⭐ Interactive activities and games to reinforce learning
Assessments help us plan instruction and monitor progress. Regular updates keep you informed about what your child is learning and how you can support them at home.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Jess! She is incredibly kind, patient and supportive from day one. Thanks to her guidance, our son’s confidence and reading skills have greatly improved. She makes learning fun and engaging. Highly recommend!

We started with Elite over the summer and have been so pleased with how our son is doing. The service is organized, reliable and flexible. Our son's tutor is great with him and goes at his pace. We've seen his confidence in reading has grown so much! We definitely recommend anyone looking into tutoring for their child.
