Certified Orton Gillingham OG Reading tutor, CALP certified, dyslexia

Lisa M.

Thank you for your interest. I am a certified Orton-Gillingham Reading Specialist and CALP (Academic Language Practitioner) certified through ALTA. I provide individualized, research-based reading (Structured Literacy) for students who need extra support, want to build self-confidence, and are ready to reach their full potential. I have over 10 years of tutoring experience working with students with and without dyslexia.

MSLE (multi-sensory language education) is the foundation of the Orton Gillingham approach. Current research has proven that MSLE changes the way the brain functions. Direct teaching of phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. Engaging, hands on, multi-sensory activities (visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile.
I also incorporate Structured Word Inquiry (SWI) into my lessons. I have experience with Wilson, Barton, SPIRE and Take Flight Orton Gillingham Programs. I earned my certification through the Children’s Dyslexia Center of Metropolitan Chicago Scottish Rite, an IMSLEC- and IDA-accredited program.
My goal is to increase your child’s self-esteem and empower the way your child learns. Learning should be rewarding, not painful trying to learn. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. References available upon request.
