Tutoring that best fits individual needs in the
Dallas metro area.
I use proven intervention programs that are Orton Gillingham based to explicitly teach multi-sensory lessons. Concept mastery is measured before moving on to the next step. Lesson planning is consistent and incorporates all critical areas of reading and spelling, including phonemic awareness. Hands on activities for reading and spelling are presented in a logical sequence based on language development assessment and individual needs.
Tutoring that best fits
your child's needs
One to One at your home or my office
In 30 plus years, I've found some of my students learn better at home. Some students learn better out of the home. It really depends on the individual and what makes him or her comfortable. Using a prescriptive approach to teaching reading and spelling and meeting individuals needs allows for a non stressful environment where student's can confidently succeed. Let's work together to help overcome reading difficulty. Let's get set up for success!
One to One remote
During the pandemic, I had to adapt to teaching students remotely. This presented some challenges because overcoming reading difficulties such as dyslexia requires multi-sensory teaching. Tracing letters, isolating sounds and syllables in words are part of learning to read. I have found ways to make it work for my students.
