One-on-one tutoring for students who struggle with reading and writing, using proven, phonics-based methods. TK–6th grade, with reading and dyslexia support through high school.
Six ways I support students, each built around what your child is learning in class right now.
Decoding, fluency and comprehension using Science of Reading methods, including UFLI, SIPPS, Heggerty and Sonday.
Structured, multisensory Orton-Gillingham instruction for students with dyslexia, from elementary through high school.
Spelling, sentences and paragraphs, built on the same phonics foundation so writing stops feeling impossible.
Strong foundational understanding and confidence through personalized strategies, not just memorized steps.
Steady weekly support that keeps assignments on track and evenings calmer.
Customized programs for homeschool families and groups.
Kids who struggle with reading usually don’t need more practice. They need explicit, structured instruction in how sounds and letters work. As a former Reading Intervention Teacher certified in Orton-Gillingham, that’s exactly what I teach.
Classroom teaching experience
