Incredible tutor
Aubrie , 56 lessons with MargaretI don't know what kind of Mary Poppins magic she is working on my son, but his improvement has been dramatic. My son has dysgraphia and dyslexia, and he was really struggling when I found Ms. Margaret. Within a couple months' work, my son's reading level jumped an entire grade level! She also provides really helpful resources for working at home. The handwriting paper she gave us proved to be so helpful, it was incorporated into his accommodation plan at school. She's very patient with his...
Teaching beginning and struggling readers has been my passion for over 20 years! I have a Master's Degree in Reading from the University of Virginia where I graduated with honors. There I took the Word Study class where I learned about how to use children's spelling errors to inform instruction. I am also certified in Phono-Graphix (the Foolproof Way to Teach Your Child to Read). I have been tutoring children for many years. Most recently I was the Reading Specialist at Chesterbrook Academy...

Patient and very Knowledgeble
She is patient, makes sure the basics are strong, and doesn't let my child hurry! She goes over handwriting, and sounds, and always ensures that my child is on track.

Excellent Tutor for Dyslexia
Margaret has been working with our son for almost a year now. He is severely dyslexic and she has been the one person who has not only really connected with him but also he has told me Margaret is the one who is going to teach me to read. I would highly recommend Margaret. She has accommodated us when our scheduled has shifted, connected with his teachers, and worked at meeting him where he is at.

Highly recommended tutor for emergent or struggling readers
Our family had a wonderful tutoring experience with Margaret K. She tutored both of my first graders who needed additional help with phonics blends (putting together the individual letter sounds). Margaret is an expert in Wilson’s Fundations and since my children had learned that methodology in school, it was important to me to continue with that approach. She quickly diagnosed the different weaknesses of my children and created different lesson plans for each one. Margaret was thoroughly prepared for each session and very methodical in her approach. She does an excellent job of maintaining the children’s focus and attention during the session. Margaret also provided little assignments for the children to complete outside the sessions in order to review the skills she had taught them; those assignments were extremely helpful in building retention and making each subsequent session more productive. My children advanced their ability to sound out words and became more confident and fluent in their reading as a result of Margaret’s work with them. Their spelling also improved as they could more effectively identify the component sounds of each word. I highly recommend Margaret for emergent or struggling readers.

Knowledgeable and effective tutor
Margaret is a wonderful tutor! My daughter is dyslexic and had reading trouble. She was really confused with spelling words. Margaret worked with her, and in no time, my daughter began spelling much better. My daughter finally stopped asking me to help her spell every little word. Spelling correlates with fluent reading. Margaret is excellent at teaching students how to use sounds. She is a very effective tutor, and you will see results!

My daughter has dyslexia, and it has been hard to find tutors with relevant experience and knowledge. I have high hopes for my daughter finally receiving the help that she needs!
