Approved Subjects

Dyslexia

Dyslexia

I am a trained Lindamood Bell instructor in LiPS and Visualizing and Verbalizing as well as the math program On Cloud Nine. I am a Certified Wilson Reading System instructor and have completed training in Framing Your Thoughts which was also designed with the Dyslexic in mind. All these programs were scientifically proven to be effective with students who are dyslexic. My 20 plus years of teaching students with learning disabilities how to read and write brings to the table a wealth of knowledge of reading instruction and the struggles of reading disabilities. I hold my masters in Learning Disabilities which includes students with dyslexia.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have been an elementary school teacher for 25 years. In this position I have taught all content areas to grade 5. All of my teacher certifications are current and evaluations stellar. Most important is my understanding of how learners learn and the importance of developing metacognitive stills students need to become proactive learners.
Phonics

Phonics

I have 25 years of teaching reading to students from elementary grades to middle school. I earned my Master's Degree in Learning Disabilities with a focus on reading development. Most of my professional development over the years has revolved around reading acquisition. I have taken all the courses that Lindamood-Bell offers as well as become certified as a Wilson Reading Teacher. I currently employed as a Learning Disabilities Teacher providing specialized instruction in reading. Most of my students gain over a year in reading progress during the 10 months of instruction I provide using an Orton-Gillingham philosophy of teaching reading.
Special Needs

Special Needs

I have taught special needs children over the past 25 years. This experience ranges from cognitively impaired to learning disabled. I have many professional development hours, graduate studies and certifications demonstrating my specialty in Learning Disabilities. I use scientifically proven practices with my students as they learn to read, write and compute. More important is teaching children to think-to think through their problems and have the strategies to solve them. My skill as a teacher includes all the best practices when developing a learner.

Knowledgeable and Dedicated

My granddaughter is struggling with reading comprehension, writing, and vocabulary. Carolyn is patient and dedicated to getting her on track. I recommend anyone searching for a reading tutor to request Carolyn.

Iris, 26 lessons with Carolyn

Experienced and easy to work with.

My sons first impression was that she was very nice and easy to work with. He said he can tell she has lots of experience. My kid is not shy yo express emotions. So my take is, that we will be working with Carolyn for while.

Nathan, 24 lessons with Carolyn

Amazingly patient diligent tutor

Carolyn has taught our daughter practical tools for deconstructing language that have increased her fluency, speed and accuracy of reading and spelling. From the moment she started working with her we could tell she was an experienced results driven teacher. We are so pleased with all the progress!

First Lesson was Great

Carolyn met with my son for the first time to gauge his reading level and current skill level as well as get to know him. It went very well and my son was happy afterwards. I also spoke to Carolyn when he was done about the plan moving forward. We look forward to his next session with Carolyn. I think she is going to be a great help to my son.

Amazing Teacher

My son has had several sessions with Carolyn, and we are beyond blessed to have found her. Her techniques, encouragement, and the way she personalizes his lessons are just amazing. She is the exact kind of teacher you would want for your child. Very caring and kind, and motivates them to push hard and reach new goals. Thank you, Carolyn!!!

Tessa, 15 lessons with Carolyn

Knowledgeable and helpful

Carolyn honed in on the issues my son is having and he had a very productive session with her! We already scheduled our next session and we look forward to seeing his progress!

Julie, 8 lessons with Carolyn

Knowledgeable, adaptive and patient tutor

We have done a few lessons with Ms. Carolyn now for my son. She is very knowledgeable on phonics and adapts her style to the need of the child. She has a firm yet kind style which keeps my son on track and engaged in an online lesson setting. She incorporates games in the lesson to asses the learning and my son looks forward to these classes.

Monica, 37 lessons with Carolyn

Great

My nine-year-old third grader boy enjoys his tutoring time with Carolyn, and looks forward to it. He misses playtime after school with his friends to go. Two lessons so far and he wants more.

Danielle, 21 lessons with Carolyn

Carolyn is very knowledgeable on the different programs available to help students. My son really enjoyed working with her and responded well. We are looking forward to scheduling more sessions.

Great Tutor

Carolyn is doing a wonderful job engaging my son in a subject he'd rather avoid. She's very kind and has a calm demeanor. She has a great understanding of visualizing and verbalizing skills. We are very happy!
