how i help children recognize their
learning potential…
For children who struggle to learn to read, the entire school experience can become consumed with negative emotion. My services include an in-depth look at a child’s reading skills, instructional recommendations, consultations with teachers and parents, and targeted reading intervention. Given my varied skill-set and extensive experience, I can help reframe the experience of learning to read and spell so your child begins to recognize his or her potential as a learner.

Does your child dislike reading or struggle in the classroom?
My passion for figuring out a child’s language-based struggles is evident in my engagement with students and commitment providing comprehensive, dynamic, and creative solutions to reading, spelling and articulation difficulties.
