What I offer:

  •  1 to 1 in-person intensive reading and/or spelling instruction twice a week.


  • Regular progress monitoring and updates.


  •  Assessment and evaluation of reading and writing skills.



  •  Individualized sessions targeting your student’s  specific instructional needs and goals.


I follow the science: After conducting a baseline assessment that determines your student's unique learning needs for reading and spelling skills, an individualized program

is designed just for your student. The program will follow the scope and sequence for essential

literacy skills. The curriculum is tailored to your student's individual needs and only utilizes

evidence-backed instruction consistent with the science of reading. Instruction may include:


• Phonemic Awareness

• Phonics

• Morphology

• Vocabulary

• Fluency

• Reading Comprehension


The instruction I provide is explicit (clear), systematic (progression moves from easiest to

complex), sequential (follows a specific order), cummulative (builds on previous instruction

and learning needs), multi-modal (incorporates the senses and is engages the the learner),

diagnostic and resposive (looks at errorrs, checks for understanding, and adjusts instruction

as needed). Feedback is essential for learning.

Cost: Sessions are $60 an hour.
