About Us – Marigold Reading & Math

Our Story

Why Marigold?

Marigold Reading & Math was founded on a simple but powerful belief: every learner deserves patient, personalized instruction that meets them exactly where they are.

Just like the marigold flower — hardy, bright, and full of life — our students bloom when given the right environment and support. We chose the marigold because it thrives even in tough conditions, just like the students we work with every day.

We specialize in working with students who have struggled in traditional classroom settings, including those with dyslexia, dyscalculia, or other learning differences. No student is too far behind, and no goal is out of reach.

What We Stand For

Personalization

No two learners are alike. Every lesson is tailored specifically to your student's needs and goals.

💪

Confidence

We build academic skills and self-belief together — because confidence is the foundation of all learning.

Our Method

The Orton-Gillingham Approach

Orton-Gillingham (OG) is a structured, sequential, and multisensory method of teaching reading and writing — widely recognized as the gold standard for students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences.

Every lesson at Marigold is diagnostic and prescriptive, meaning we constantly assess where your student is and adjust our teaching to meet their evolving needs.

Multisensory learning — visual, auditory, and kinesthetic
Sequential and cumulative — skills build on each other
Individualized pacing — no pressure, no rush
Research-backed and proven effective
Builds confidence alongside academic skills

Learning Blooms with the Right Support
