Growing Readers. Building Futures.
Expert literacy instruction tailored entirely to your child — their pace, their needs, their breakthrough moment.
Private Reading Intervention
Every session is just your child and me. No distractions, no competing for attention, no one-size-fits-all pacing. Every lesson is built around exactly where your child is right now — and precisely where they need to go.
Using the Science of Reading, EBLI-based instruction, and Orton-Gillingham principles, I build the foundational skills that create real, lasting readers. Whether your child is just beginning to struggle or has been falling behind for years, this is where the turnaround starts.
Sessions are structured, explicit, and multisensory — designed to work with the way your child’s brain learns, not against it.
Building the foundational sound-letter connections every reader needs from the ground up.
Explicit instruction in how words work so students can read AND write with confidence.
Moving from slow, labored reading to smooth, automatic reading that frees up comprehension.
Orton-Gillingham and EBLI methods proven to work for students with dyslexia and reading differences.
Every session is designed to build not just skills, but a reader who believes in themselves.
Reading Assessments
Before we can truly help a reader, we need to understand them. A comprehensive reading assessment gives us the full picture — where strengths are, where gaps exist, and whether dyslexia or another reading difference may be at play.
You’ll receive a detailed written report with findings and a personalized road map, plus a family consultation to walk through everything together. No jargon — just clarity and a clear plan forward.
💡 Many families start here — an assessment tells us exactly what kind of intervention your child needs.
Our phonological screening and reading assessment can identify the hallmarks of dyslexia and other reading differences — giving your family the answers and the path forward you’ve been looking for.
Establishes your child’s current reading level and identifies gaps in foundational skills.
Tests phoneme awareness and phonics knowledge — the core indicators of dyslexia risk.
Measures reading speed, accuracy, and how well your child understands what they read.
A thorough report with findings, recommendations, and a personalized learning road map.
We sit down together to review findings and build a plan that fits your family’s goals.

Private 1:1 sessions begin — with regular updates so you see the growth every step of the way.
Dyslexia & Reading Differences
Dyslexia is not a reflection of intelligence. With the right structured, multisensory approach, dyslexic learners can become confident, capable readers.
Dyslexia affects how the brain processes written language — not a child’s intelligence or potential. Private, one-on-one intervention is the most effective setting for dyslexic learners because every single minute is focused entirely on them.
Using Orton-Gillingham principles and EBLI-based instruction, I build the phonological awareness, decoding, and fluency skills that dyslexic students often struggle to develop in a classroom setting.
Every session is explicit, systematic, and multisensory — and paced exactly to where your child is, with no pressure to keep up with anyone else.
Signs Your Child May Need Support
Difficulty breaking words into sounds or blending sounds to read unfamiliar words.
Reading takes enormous effort; your child avoids it, gets frustrated, or fatigues easily.
Inconsistent or unusual spelling, even for words practiced many times before.
Clearly bright and capable verbally, but reading level doesn’t match their intelligence.
Reluctance or anxiety around reading out loud — a sign of shame or embarrassment.
Qualifications & Training
This isn’t tutoring by a college student — every session is led by a credentialed literacy specialist with formal, rigorous training in the Science of Reading, dyslexia intervention, and evidence-based literacy instruction.
EBLI is one of the most powerful, research-backed reading approaches available — grounded entirely in the Science of Reading.
A Micro Literacy Credential represents focused, advanced study in reading development, assessment, and intervention — rigorous, specialized training that goes far beyond a general teaching certificate. Currently completing.
OG is the gold-standard multisensory approach designed specifically for dyslexic learners. OG-trained specialists know how to reach the readers traditional classrooms leave behind.
Every child deserves a teacher who truly understands how reading works — not just what to teach, but why it works and how to adapt when a child needs something different. That expertise changes everything.
Parent Stories
Real results from real families in our community.
My daughter went from dreading reading to asking for more books. The 1:1 attention made all the difference — she finally had someone entirely focused on her. We finally have our confident reader.
The assessment gave us so much clarity. We finally understood our son has dyslexia, and having a specialist with real OG training working with him one-on-one changed everything. He’s a different kid.
We tried group tutoring before and it just didn’t work for my son. Private sessions were a completely different experience — targeted, focused, and exactly what he needed. The progress has been incredible.
Also Available
For homeschooling families who want structured, community-based literacy instruction, I offer intentionally small literacy pods of 4–6 students. Same expert, evidence-based methods — in a warm small-group setting.
Dyslexia-informed instruction is woven throughout every pod, so all learners are fully supported.
