As a Wilson-trained dyslexia specialist—and someone who is dyslexic myself—I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to helping students become fluent in reading and spelling. I am also a certified K-12 Special Education teacher. Having guided over 200 learners to success, I understand the challenges firsthand and use that empathy to create a supportive, empowering environment. My training in the Hochman Method further strengthens my ability to teach expository writing and reading comprehension with clarity and structure.

Each lesson is customized to meet your child’s unique learning profile, with diagnostic tools used to pinpoint specific challenges and develop targeted solutions. In addition to literacy support, I help students overcome executive functioning deficits such as organization, time management, and task initiation. By combining proven strategies with a deep understanding of how learning differences affect daily life, I equip students with the tools they need to thrive both academically and personally.
