Our Beginnings
The
Cullinan Education Center, founded by Joanne
Cullinan in 1990, began as The Cullinan
Resource Center for Dyslexia. Its foundation
was the result of Joanne's determination
to create a center that would meet the needs
of those with language learning differences,
fueled by her own experience raising a child
with dyslexia.

PHILOSOPHY |
ACADEMIC

OUR
METHOD |
| At
The Cullinan Education Center
there are no learning disabilities,
only "learning
differences." |
|
| Trained
professionals work to improve
each student's academic
success with appropriate
one-on-one
instruction. |
|
| We
offer an adaptation of the
Orton-Gillingham
method which
is based on over sixty years
of research. |

NEW!!
The
Cullinan Education Center has been approved by the State Board of Education to provide supplemental educational services to students from
under performing schools. As part of the No Child Left Behind Act signed by President Bush, students in
under performing schools may
be eligible to receive tutoring at the district's expense. Call your school
to see if your student qualifies. You can also
learn which schools are on the list by going
to the California Department of Education
website. For additional information about the Supplemental Educational Services provision of the No Child Left Behind Act, go to www.nochildleftbehind.gov.
Our Mission and
Our Methods
In
order to provide the most effective assistance,
we employ teachers of the highest quality.
Not only are they credentialed or degreed
and certified in the Orton Gillingham method,
but they are also committed to creating
a nurturing environment for every student.

needs at various levels.
The
center provides four types of tutoring programs:
1.

Middle and High School Students
The
center also provides Orton Gillingham-based
teacher training seminars.
