Courtney- Reading Specialist

Courtney D.

Esteemed Prospective Students,

I am eager to present my background and methodology to you. I possess both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Psychology, equipping me with a profound comprehension of individual learning, cognition, and information processing. Since 2019, I have been employed in the public education system, where I have had the opportunity to engage with diverse student populations. This experience has allowed me to not only strengthen my teaching skills but also work directly with students who have diverse learning requirements, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning difficulties. While pursuing my teaching certification, I am dedicated to applying my knowledge and talents in the classroom to cultivate an environment conducive to the success of all children.

My tutoring methodology is founded on empathy, patience, and personalized education. I am specifically trained in the Orton-Gillingham technique, a systematic, multimodal method that has demonstrated significant efficacy for students with dyslexia. I am also educated in the Wilson Academy reading methodology, which emphasizes the cultivation of robust core abilities in reading and writing. I have experience in assisting English language learners by developing tailored tactics that enhance language proficiency and self-assurance. I assert that each student is distinct, and I customize my instruction to address their individual requirements, whether it involves assisting them with reading, enhancing their study techniques, or augmenting their self-assurance in their academic capabilities. I endeavor to empower kids to achieve their best potential by fostering a friendly and inclusive environment.
