Experience Summary
I have 20 years experience working with children in multiple capacities. I was a full time teacher before I had a family of my own and decided to begin tutoring. I love working one-on-one with children. I have tutored for the past ten years in multiple subject areas but decided that my true passion is teaching children to read. I believe that when a child knows how to read, the course of their life will be forever changed!
Teaching Style
I specialize in teaching dyslexic students. I use and Orton-Gillingham based program that is multi-sensory. It is the only scientifically proven method to help children with dyslexia become successful readers and spellers.
Other Comments
I have a family history of reading struggles. I have watched my own father share his stories of the pain and heartache that comes from not being a proficient reader. As soon as my own son began to struggle with reading, I began to research and realized that often times reading struggles run in the family. It was at that point that I realized that teaching kids to read would be my life's work. I love to see the smile and excitement that comes to my students when they learn to read!
