Phonics

Does your child need help with phonics? Is he or she struggling in reading? I may be the perfect choice for a tutor. I have formal training in psychology, linguistics, communication, and language learning. I like to figure out how each individual mind processes language, so I can help it learn to read better. I use a multisensory approach to teaching letters and sounds in words. I tutored a second-grader who had a stroke, and she got back to grade level in reading in a single academic year. I...

My BA is in linguistics and psychology, and my MA is in speech and hearing science. They both taught me about language in general and how people learn language as children and adults. Any questions... Read More
