Master'sAbout Lisa
I tutor students struggling in reading and spelling. I use a multi-sensory structured literacy method that is direct, sequential, explicit and structured which is an evidenced based approach with over 30 years of research showing its success. I trained at the Dyslexia Training Institute in 2014 where I received my Dyslexia Specialist Certificate.

Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ADHD
I have had training in ADHD and executive functioning (EF). I've had training in educational scaffolding to assist with focusing, organization, reduced impulsivity, motivation and emotional regulation.
Dyslexia
I am trained in the Orton Gillingham (OG) approach by the Dyslexia Training Institute, which has the leading research for teaching reading and spelling with those with dyslexia. My training allows me to develop an individualize lesson plan for your student, rather than a scripted curriculum. This approach allows interventions to be targeted to a student's needs, which keeps the student interested and progressing at each lesson.
I am also trained in Structured Word Inquiry, which focuses on spelling. It is a wonderful approach to learning spelling which focuses on the dyslexic student's strength of reasoning rather than the weakness of phonics.
Handwriting
I've had training in dysgraphia. I have the ability to teach penmanship to create increased written legibility and the ability to supplement with electronic reinforcement.
Phonics
Training in Orton Gillingham by the University of San Diego. OG is based on the phonological process, teaching how to teach decoding through phonics. I went through an internship. I have been tutoring with this method for several years now.
Reading
I am an Orton-Gillinham trained tutor; I have knowledge of executive functioning; and experience with dyslexia and ADHD. I have access to Barton and Wilson Reading curricula.
