Frequently Asked Questions

DI Private Teacher is a boutique educational company offering personalized one-on-one instruction for students in Pre-K through 12th grade. We provide customized teaching, enrichment, and intervention that supports each child’s unique learning goals. Think of it as tutoring, reimagined, with experienced educators who build confidence and inspire learning.

Absolutely. One-on-one instruction benefits every learner, whether they need enrichment, confidence building, or a more individualized pace. We meet students where they are, providing challenges, reinforcing skills, or nurturing curiosity — focusing on the whole child academically, emotionally, and developmentally.

Yes, we love working with students with dyslexia. While programs like Orton-Gillingham, Barton, or Wilson offer structured approaches, we recognize that one method doesn’t fit all. We tailor instruction to your child’s strengths, interests, and learning profile, combining research-based strategies to help them reach, and often exceed — grade level.

This is very common. Most children aren’t used to learning from a parent, so they may test boundaries. With consistent, positive, and pressure-free learning time, even 10–20 minutes a day, children can begin to look forward to learning with you.

We partner with families to empower parents as their child’s first teacher. Hiring a private instructor enhances this process, providing expert guidance while keeping learning joyful and connected.

Lessons are held in two professional classroom spaces, Davis Islands and Hyde Park, designed to feel like your child’s private classroom, full of hands-on materials and positive learning energy.

We also offer a limited number of in-home lessons and work with select private schools and aftercare programs in South Tampa, pending approval. Public locations like libraries are not used, as all lessons occur in approved professional settings for quality, safety, and business compliance.

Every student’s plan is fully customized, so scheduling is handled individually during our initial consultation. We take time to understand your child’s needs, goals, and preferred learning environment before recommending a schedule and teacher match.

We offer both. Some families use DI Private Teacher as a full-time private school with a complete academic program and transcript support. Others use us for supplemental lessons, enrichment, or intervention. Every plan is fully customized.
