Online tutoring program

http://www.eSpindle.org provides customized tutoring sessions based on goals, skill level, and personal problem words. Using clear audio, memory-stimulating definitions and examples, and extensive online resources, eSpindle is perfect for:
– students ages 7 and above (spelling accounts for 6% of the annual STAR test, grades 2-8!)
– Spelling Bee hopefuls (special tutoring module focuses on the 30,000 words likely to be used in the competition)
– ESL students (teaches spelling, pronunciation and meaning in one easy step)
– students with learning disabilities (concept based on brain research)
– homeschoolers
– continuing education (custom module teaches the 1,500 most commonly misspelled words with ease).

eSpindle provides efficient, continuous and effective tutoring in English spelling, word recognition and vocabulary and eliminates the need for spelling word lists.

Drawing on a database of over 100,000 words, our patent-pending technology creates personalized learning sessions that patiently practice problem words, while allowing users and teachers to add words for priority study. Words that are misspelled are repeated over subsequent sessions until they are spelled correctly every time. eSpindle teaches words up to 85% faster than any traditional method. Performance reports are automatically updated for easy supervision, and results are guaranteed for regular users. School licenses are available and include management of one annual online Spelling Bee for your organization.

Founded by a non-profit 501(c)3 parents-initiative, this website is the most extensive and at the same time easiest spelling tutoring program available. Our mission is to provide low-cost, personalized, engaging and effective online tutoring support that equips students with lifelong tools for communication and success.

We match every paid membership with a scholarship for a disadvantaged student. We also offer site licenses and like to form partnerships with other non-profits.

Our complementary web site, http://www.SpellingBeeForLiteracy.org, lets you participate in or conduct online spelling bees, for fun or as fundraisers.
