I worked for six years at Chesterbrook Academy, where I tutored children in grades Pre-K through 6th grade in reading, writing and math. My specialty area is working with Pre-K through 2nd grade on beginning reading and writing skills. I use very structured reading and writing programs to help the child learn in a systematic way, from less difficult to more difficult.

Dyslexia

I worked at Chesterbrook Academy for six years, where I worked with many students who were identified dyslexic. I use the Wilson Reading System in the teaching of reading. This program was developed especially for dyslexics. It is a multi-sensory, step-by-step program that uses decodable text. I feel I am qualified to teach dyslexics.

Great teacher!

Our son is learning so much! We are very pleased with his progress under Margo’s care. He is well prepared for kindergarten.

Lori, 69 lessons with Margaret

Proficient and patient tutor

My son is a second grader in FCPS. He is passionate about creative writing and we hired Ms. Margaret to nurture that passion. Not only did she do that but she also helped with comprehension, composition, and spelling skills. She is a consummate professional to say the least. Each lesson has a well defined plan and homework assignments. She is punctual and provides a thorough summary after each session. My son looks forward to the Sunday afternoon sessions with her to cap his weekend activities. Because of her, he build story maps and produces richer narratives. Highly recommend!

Salman, 17 lessons with Margaret

Very good teacher!

Margaret taught English reading, comprehension, spelling and writing. In the first lesson she assessed my skills so I could know where I stand before we proceed further. Very good teacher!

Monica, 13 lessons with Margaret

Great tutor, great results!

Ms. Margo was very good for our son. He was really struggling with reading and she helped him gain the confidence he needed to become a good reader. His report card and teacher's review showed great results and we are thrilled with the results!
