Empowering Learning…
Assessment will target specific strengths and needs for students. This includes areas of: phonological awareness, phonics, encoding, writing, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and morphology.
Literacy Assessment
Direct, explicit, and systematic literacy instruction is tailored to meet the unique needs of your student. Using a structured, multi-sensory approach, instruction engages visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities to reinforce foundational reading skills. Lessons are carefully sequenced and intentionally designed to build mastery in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. This evidence-based method ensures that students receive the targeted support they need to grow in confidence and skill.
Literacy Instruction
I’m a dedicated special education professional with extensive experience supporting students in K–12 across a wide range of learning needs. With a strong foundation in individualized instruction, I specialize in working with students with diverse disabilities, including dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dysgraphia, and language-based learning disorders. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, empathy, and a commitment to helping every student reach their full potential. I have years of experience in classroom teaching and tutoring (in-person/virtual). I have two Master’s degrees (Reading and Special Education), am currently certified as a state Reading Specialist, International Dyslexia Association Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist, and IMSE OG Specialist. I am currently in a Certified Academic Language Therapist Program.

What families are saying…
Parent of 8th-grade student:
"In just one year, we witnessed a transformation in our child. Before tutoring, she struggled academically and lacked confidence. But with consistent, targeted support, she made incredible gains—not just in reading and writing, but in how she sees herself as a learner. We are beyond grateful for the growth she’s experienced, and for the dedication and expertise that made it possible."
Parent of 3rd-grade student:
"Our daughter was falling through the cracks at school. Her dyslexia wasn't being properly supported, and we knew she needed more. Working one-on-one with someone who truly understands how to teach foundational skills has made all the difference. She’s now reading with confidence and starting to enjoy learning again. We finally feel hopeful about her future."
Parent of 6th-grade student
"My son has struggled with reading and writing since kindergarten. Nothing we tried seemed to help, until now. Through direct instruction, especially in morphology, he's beginning to understand how words work and finally starting to close long-standing gaps. It's been amazing to see his progress and growing confidence."
