Sign-Up Process
Please complete and submit the Registration Form.
Once the registration form is received and reviewed, you will be contacted and offered an assessment date and time. Our assessments are priced at the same rate of a regular 1 hour tutoring session. You will have 24 hours to confirm your assessment. Once you have received feedback regarding the assessment and if your child is to be selected, you will be offered a few time slots and will have 24 hours to confirm your enrollment in the DOBI Reading Program.
​
Our assessment will determine where your child ranks amongst students at their grade level. We may test the student at a lower grade level if we believe their reading ability is behind.
If we find that the student is struggling with reading and we believe that our methods will help, there is a high likelihood that they will be selected for the DOBI Reading Program.
​
If you are unable to confirm enrollment after the assessment, we will offer the available time slot(s) to the next student on the waitlist.
​
If there are no spaces available for the assessment, we will place your name on a waitlist and contact you when a space becomes available.
Although we recommend at least two, 1 hour lessons per week to realize the maximum benefit for your child, the minimum lesson plan we offer is once per week. For those wanting more, we do offer up to 6 lessons per week, depending on the student.
A Note On Pricing
At DOBI, affordability is part of our mission to help as many students as possible reach their full potential. While many centres charge $100–$150 per 60-minute session and $250+ for the initial assessment, we keep pricing accessible without compromising on quality or results.
Our tutors invest significant time outside of sessions—planning, preparing materials, and analyzing student data—so every lesson is purposeful. We continually customize each student’s program to target the right skills at the right time, combining proven multisensory methods with activities that make learning engaging and fun.
The result is thoughtfully prepared, highly individualized instruction at a price point designed to open doors for more families.

Missed Lessons (Subscription Plan)
Your monthly tuition evenly covers all scheduled sessions across the school year, with centre closures and statutory holidays already accounted for (you are not charged for those dates). If your family misses a session, you may use up to 3 make-up sessions per semester at no additional cost; if you can’t attend the offered make-up, your tutor will provide personalized worksheets and materials aligned to your child’s goals.
​
If DOBI must cancel for an unforeseen reason and we can’t secure a substitute tutor, we will offer a make-up at no charge, and it will not count toward your semester make-up credits. Because tuition is amortized, missed sessions are not refunded.
​
Payment & Invoicing
All Clients must sign the Client Contract and credit card PAD agreement.
Clients have a week from the last Sunday of each month to pay the full monthly balance of tutoring sessions received. If payment is not received within the allotted week, the card on file will be charged, as stated in the PAD agreement.​
​
No refunds
Services completed as described in the Contract are not subject to refunds. The Client will not be reimbursed for services cancelled once work has begun. All sales are final.
​
Summer Sessions
The reality is that many students will regress in reading level during the summer months if they do not work on phonetics and phonological awareness on a consistent basis.
Summer session time slot availability will be released on May 1st.
