WELCOME TO our Tutoring FAMILY!
We take great pride in our tutoring center! We know you'll love it!
HI! I'M Angie randak.
Let me tell you a little about myself.
I began my journey into dyslexia tutoring when my son was identified
as dyslexic. He was tutored using the Barton Reading and Spelling
System, and it changed his life. As I watched my son go through the
program, he regained his self-esteem, learned how to read and spell, and achieved the academic success he craved.
After witnessing my own child’s experience, I knew I wanted to help
others who struggle with dyslexia. I sought training in dyslexia screening and obtained certification in the Barton Reading and Spelling System. In 2011, I launched Randak Dyslexia Services.
My team of trained tutors and I love to help children at all grade levels (and even adults) overcome dyslexia. We can't wait to meet you!
Does your child have:
- Trouble with sight words?
- Slow and inaccurate reading?
- Messy handwriting?
- Terrible Spelling?
- Letter reversals beyond first-grade?
- Confuses left and right?
- Frequent ear infections as a young child?
If so, your child may be dyslexic.
Randak Dyslexia Services has been helping people read since 2011. We use the Barton Reading and Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham-based program – the only type of program recommended by the International Dyslexia Association. Learn more about the Barton System by visiting www.bartonreading.com.
We are based in Billings, Montana, and provide one-on-one tutoring and dyslexia screening locally. We can also provide these services via the internet and have tutored students across the world.
You'll absolutely love our
Dedicated Team of Tutors
We have the most amazing, caring, and talented group of tutors in the state of Montana! These wonderful ladies have dedicated most of their lives to educating children. We are
excited for you to meet them!
We offer a pathway to reading!
Is your child or someone you know having difficulty with
Reading?
Writing?
Spelling?
Math?
Without proper intervention, dyslexia can lead to frustration, unsatisfactory academic performance, and low self-esteem.
Randak Dyslexia Services can help by providing dyslexia screening and
tutoring services for children and adults.
Do we conduct dyslexia testing?
Angela Randak has been trained by the international dyslexia authority, Susan Barton, to screen children from kindergarten through high school.
The screening determines if a child has the symptoms of not only dyslexia, but also of dysgraphia – a condition that frequently occurs with dyslexia causing difficulty with the physical act of writing. Finally, we give a brief assessment for Irlen Syndrome, a light sensitivity condition often coexisting with dyslexia. Screening results and suggested school accommodations are put together in a written report.

Reading & Spelling Tutoring
Using the Barton Reading and Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham-based program (the only type of program recommended by the International Dyslexia Association), we teach dyslexic students to read and spell in a way that makes sense to them and allows them to succeed. Owner Angela Randak is certified in the system and trains her tutors to use it. Learn more about the Barton System by visitingbartonreading.com.
- 2 (45 min.) sessions/week
- 3 (45 min.) sessions/week
Math Tutoring
Students with dyslexia also often struggle with math. We provide multi-sensory, dyslexic friendly, one-on-one tutoring for our math students. We also assist with math homework as needed. Below shows our instructional sequence.
- 1 (60 min.) sessions/week
- 2 (45 min.) sessions/week
Handwriting (Dysgraphia)
Does your child have messy handwriting? Then they may have dysgraphia. A disorder of writing ability that often accompanies dyslexia. It includes problems with letter legibility, letter spacing, spelling, fine motor coordination, and slow writing speed.
Handwriting
2 (45 min.) session/week
We will be using the award-winning, multisensory handwriting program, "Handwriting without Tears", along with songs from the highly successful reading program, "4 Weeks to Read" as the base of our class work.
Typing Lessons:
- Orton-Gillingham-based program
- Customized word lists
- 30 min. Before or After Tutoring
- twice a week
- or at home
For someone with dysgraphia, one of the best skills to have is typing.

“Our tutoring experience with Paige [RDS Tutor] for our granddaughter has been extremely rewarding. We feel like she has learned so much. She enjoys and respects Paige and has never once suggested she would rather not go. We are so appreciative for the extra ways Paige makes things interesting and pleasant.”
– Michele Page
“Our daughter went from feeling ‘dumb at every subject’ as she would say, to loving school
and being in Freshman Honors English after tutoring with Angie! She has confidence to read aloud and openly discuss her dyslexia
with teachers while also sharing her dyslexia strengths. She looked forward to her tutoring
time with Angie and is grateful for everything it has allowed her to accomplish so far!”
– Brent and Lisa Reich
“My daughter was diagnosed with moderate to severe dyslexia, dysgraphia, and Irlen Syndrome when she was 6. At the time of the diagnosis, she was reading well below her grade level. She began tutoring with Angie at that time. Angie is great with children and an excellent teacher. My daughter is now 11 and in the 6th grade. She reads at the same level as her peers and understands all the rules in the
English language for proper pronunciation and spelling. Angie also provided me with resources for overlays and glasses to help my daughter with her Irlen Syndrome. Angie has continued to offer support even though my
daughter no longer needs tutoring. I feel blessed to have found Angie to help my baby
girl learn how to read!”
– Virginia Bellew
