Dyslexia & Reading Specialist | Helping Struggling Learners Succeed

Darnell R.

As a certified dyslexia therapist with a Master's in Reading Education (K–12) and an ESOL endorsement, I specialize in helping students become confident, capable readers using evidence-based, structured literacy methods. I have nearly a decade of classroom experience, with additional expertise in intervention settings, one-on-one instruction, and small group remediation. My background includes training in Take Flight, Orton-Gillingham-based programs, and the Science of Reading, and I am passionate about reaching struggling readers and helping them thrive.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds, including learners with dyslexia, ADHD, language delays, and English as a second language. I bring warmth, structure, and humor to my sessions and work hard to individualize instruction based on student needs and learning styles. Whether a student needs support with phonics, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, or study strategies, I meet them where they are and walk with them toward progress.

I believe that literacy unlocks opportunity. My goal is always to help students feel empowered—not just to perform on assessments but to fall in love with learning and build skills that last a lifetime.
