About Michelle


Bio

The reason I became a tutor is because my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia 20 years ago. At the time there was not a tutor that was affordable in our area. So, I took it upon myself to obtain the training and begin my tutoring experience. After completing the course, I became a certified tutor for students with dyslexia. The whole journey has been exceptionally rewarding.

Now, I've been tutoring for last 20 years and taught elementary school for 10 years. My passion is helping ...

The reason I became a tutor is because my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia 20 years ago. At the time there was not a tutor that was affordable in our area. So, I took it upon myself to obtain the training and begin my tutoring experience. After completing the course, I became a certified tutor for students with dyslexia. The whole journey has been exceptionally rewarding.

Now, I've been tutoring for last 20 years and taught elementary school for 10 years. My passion is helping students gain confidence and obtaining his/her educational goals. I have worked with many students of all needs over the years. Although, I have tutored in all areas, my specialty is teaching students with special learning needs; such as Dyslexia, ADD & ADHD, Autism, and other learning disorders. I focus on reading, reading comprehension , spelling, vocabulary and writing of grade school aged children. I prefer Orton-Gillingham materials and I'm a certified tutor for the Barton system- dyslexia. I am confident that with my patience, experience, expertise and personal lesson plans for your child, will help them gain the confidence and ability to reach their goals. I tutor online as well and I'm excited to embrace this opportunity to help more students.

Thank you
Ms. Michelle M.

Excellent Resource for Online tutoring

Ms. Michelle has been an excellent tutor for my son. It is very convenient to do his lessons online. My son looks forward to his lessons every week and enjoys bring able to use the computer and video feature. He has found his lessons to be engaging and is able to concentrate and connect with Ms. Michelle. I like that I am able to hear the lesson as I make dinner so that I can step in and assist if needed but don't have to be an active participant.

Exemplary Tutoring: A Blend of Knowledge, Patience, and Motivation

Michelle is not only knowledgeable and patient, but she also knows how to keep my granddaughter, Lilith, motivated. Her unique teaching methods and engaging lessons have made learning a joy for Lilith. Lilith looks forward to each tutoring session with anticipation, eager to learn more. Michelle’s expertise in the subject matter is evident in the way she simplifies complex concepts, making them easy for Lilith to understand. Her patience is commendable; she never rushes through a lesson and ensures that Lilith has fully grasped a concept before moving on. Moreover, Michelle’s ability to motivate Lilith is truly remarkable. She encourages her to push her boundaries and reach her full potential. She celebrates Lilith's achievements, no matter how small, boosting her confidence and fostering a love for learning. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dedicated, competent, and inspiring tutor.

Great Tutor!

Michelle is very knowledgeable and patient. My 5th grader is struggling with reading and she comes prepared with materials to assist him and when he has completed homework she will check it for any errors and assist if needed. She definitely makes my son comfortable and encourages the best in him. Very happy to have found her!

Was able to extend instructional time. Next we need consistency in order for Leo to buy into a new factor of tutoring into his life.

Great communicator with my daughter

After the first session, my daughter was trilled to work with Michelle and said she couldn't wait for the next session. Michelle arrived ready to get to know my daughter's needs and develop a plan on helping her with her reading needs. Thanks Michelle!

My son has had wonderful improvement with Michelle!

My son has dyslexia and has difficulty reading. Michelle has worked with him for over a year and he has had wonderful improvement. His reading and comprehension scores have improved over 250 points. She utilizes the Susan Barton system and it has helped my son out tremendously! Thank you Michelle!

Very patient!

My 9 yr. old son is dyslexic and struggling with language arts. Under Michelle's tutelage he already seems to be doing better and it has only been 3 sessions! Michelle is firm but very nice about it, and she is patient. My son was quickly put to ease. She boosts confidence with compliments and points out what is done correctly instead of focusing on what was incorrect. What Michelle does see as incorrect she will simply repeat it with him until it is grasped. Wonderful tutor.
