I offer both in-person and virtual options. In-person sessions are held in my at-home classroom in Elgin, near Randall and Bowes Rd. For virtual sessions, the integrity of the Orton-Gillingham method will not be lost in our engaging online format.

That is completely dependent on the specific needs of your child! Typically, I recommend once per week to prevent the “summer slide”, twice to make some progress, or 3+ sessions per week to allow for significant strides forward.

Now! Availability is currently open for new enrollment. Spaces are limited and are offered on a first-come-first-serve basis, so get started today!

Not a problem! I have 10+ years of experience working with all types of learners. I include multiple 1-2 minute brain breaks in my sessions to break up the hour. Plus, I like to get creative and get the kids moving while completing different tasks.

Sessions begin with a 15-minute warm-up by reviewing previously taught skills and concepts. I then focus the majority of the time on the new skill your child is learning, including reading and spelling. I end each session with a “sight word” or two by using a multi-sensory approach that maps each tricky word into your child’s brain rather than focusing on rote memorization.

Either! Most parents choose to drop off and run errands or read in the quiet car while they wait. Of course, you are more than welcome to stay!

Glad you asked! I have 12+ years of tutoring experience and 9 years of teaching experience in the elementary classroom. I’ve received my Masters in Literacy and have been trained in Orton-Gillingham through the Institute for Multi-sensory Education. I also have 30+ hours of training on science of reading strategies.
