I am passionate about helping children become confident, successful readers. With 28 years of teaching experience, I have worked with students of all ability levels, including many years as an inclusion teacher supporting children with diverse learning needs. As the mother of a dyslexic child, I have personally experienced the challenges families face when a child struggles to read. I have also witnessed the life-changing impact that effective tutoring and structured literacy instruction can have on a child's confidence and academic success.
My tutoring approach is grounded in the (OG) methodology and the Barton Reading & Spelling System, both of which are research-based, structured literacy programs designed to help struggling readers develop strong foundational reading and spelling skills. These multisensory methods are especially effective for students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties because they provide explicit, systematic instruction tailored to each learner's needs.
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from Georgia Southern University and my Master of Education degree from Nova Southeastern University. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to helping students develop the skills they need to become successful readers. Combining my professional experience with my personal journey as a parent allows me to support both students and families with understanding, patience, and proven strategies that help children thrive.
