I am a Master of Education–trained literacy specialist with 13+ years of experience teaching children and adults in Canada, the UK, and the US. I specialize in reading intervention, phonics, decoding, comprehension, writing skills, and dyslexia-friendly instruction. I am Barton-trained and have extensive experience supporting learners with reading difficulties, learning disabilities, and language-based challenges.
In addition to literacy support, I offer ESL/EFL tutoring (TESOL certified), K–8 homework help, writing coaching, and study skills development. I have designed curriculum for schools, homeschool programs, and private learners, and I tailor every lesson to each student’s needs, pace, and learning style.
My teaching approach is calm, patient, structured, and supportive. I work with students in person at the Shadyside and East Liberty Carnegie Libraries, or online for families who prefer remote sessions.
If your child needs help with reading, writing, or academic confidence, or if you’re an adult learner seeking ESL support, I would be happy to help.
