Hi there, I'm Tiffany! I am a patient, compassionate, and empathetic reading tutor with experience working with students of various abilities since 2011. I double majored in B.A. in Psychology & Social Behavior and B.S. Biological Sciences at University of California, Irvine (UCI) and later received my M.Ed. in Special Education ELE from Concordia University in 2016. I have over 60 hours of Orton-Gillingham (OG) training through the Institute for Multisensory Education (IMSE).

As a tutor, I work with preschool and elementary-aged homeschool students, general education students needing extra reading support, and students with learning disabilities such as Dyslexia and ADHD. I tailor lessons to each student's unique and individual learning needs. Each 1 hour reading lesson includes 1) phonemic awareness development, 2) explicit, structured phonics instruction, 3) decoding and fluency practice, and 4) spelling practice. For older elementary-aged students, I include reading comprehension and vocabulary development as well.

I am passionate about helping students read so that they can thrive in school. Please send me a message with your child's age, grade level, and current reading level. I am excited to work with you and your child!

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

I have my M.Ed. in Special Education and over 9 years experience working 1-on-1 with students with ADHD. With regard to academics, I specialize in teaching reading (phonics, reading comprehension, vocabulary) and spelling using the Orton-Gillingham (OG) method. I accommodate and tailor each lesson to my students' unique learning needs. For students with ADHD, I also support executive function skills such as problem solving, mental flexibility, organization, time management, planning, and prioritizing in addition to reading lessons or as standalone lessons.
Dyslexia

Dyslexia

I have been working with students with Dyslexia since 2015. I am trained in Orton-Gillingham through the Institute for Multisensory Education (IMSE). Each lesson is tailored to the student's unique and individual learning needs. Reading lessons are scaffolded and accommodations are provided where necessary.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have a Master's in Education in Special Education ELE and am trained in Orton-Gillingham method through the Institute for Multisensory Education (IMSE). I help elementary-aged students overcome their reading struggles by providing explicit and structured instruction so that they can thrive in school. I use my own curriculum to catch students up to grade level, and I can provide ELA homework support as needed.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I have been a homeschool tutor for preschool and elementary-aged students since 2020, specializing in teaching reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, and reading comprehension), spelling, and writing (grammar, sentence structure, and paragraph writing). I have over 60 hours of Orton-Gillingham (OG) training, which I completed through the Institute for Multisensory Education (IMSE). I can either use and/or supplement your chosen curriculum or use curriculum I own to teach. I tailor lessons to students' unique learning needs and accommodate where necessary.
Phonics

Phonics

I have been tutoring elementary-aged students since 2011, and I am trained in the Orton-Gillingham (OG) method through the Institute for Multisensory Education (IMSE). Phonics lessons are explicit and structured, and they follow a specific sequence that builds upon previously learned concepts.
Reading

Reading

I have been providing reading instruction since 2015 and am trained in the Orton-Gillingham method through the Institute of Multisensory Education (IMSE). I use my own curriculum to provide explicit, structured, and sequential reading instruction to improve decoding, fluency, and comprehension.
Spelling

Spelling

I use a combination of the Orton-Gillingham approach and multisensory techniques to improve spelling skills. First, I make sure that students have a basic foundation of phonics skills that can be applied to spelling. Then, we work on applied spelling through dictation practices and sentence/paragraph writing.
