About Hallie


Bio

I am certified in the Orton Gillingham Technique which has proven to be the most successful method for teaching the 15-20% of our student population who are dyslexic and who struggle with reading, writing, and spelling. I balance my Orton Gillingham sessions with creative writing which makes the learning meaningful, engaging, and fun!

I am certified in the Orton Gillingham Technique which has proven to be the most successful method for teaching the 15-20% of our student population who are dyslexic and who struggle with reading, writing, and spelling. I balance my Orton Gillingham sessions with creative writing which makes the learning meaningful, engaging, and fun!
I am also certified in ESL (English as a Second Language) and have had extensive experience working with adults and children who speak another language. I have been trained in Readers' and Writer's Workshop; I believe that students who understand the process of choosing a topic of interest, reading/researching the topic, writing about the topic (informative, opinion, and narrative writing), and presenting their writing to an authentic audience are those who are confident and successful. I take pride in the fact that my students LOVE reading and writing!
I look forward to communicating with you to find out if I would be a good match for your child's tutoring needs! I am flexible with my scheduling (weekdays, week evenings, and weekends are all possible) and, after raising three of my own children, understand the needs of busy family lives! I am very experienced with Zoom lessons and Google Classroom and will make every minute of your child's time with me productive and joyful!

Patient and very engaging

My grandchildren are in Japan and being tutored by Hallie. She is well-prepared and engages them to keep their attention. Coordinating the lessons was a bit of logistics, but Hallie was very patient and we worked it out.
