Specifically addresses the learning needs of students with a language‐based learning disability, such as dyslexia, or who have word-level deficits and have not mastered the decoding and spelling process. 

Candidates for our phonics decoding program share characteristics such as:

• Unable to decode accurately (in lowest 30th percentile)

• Slow, labored reading with lack of fluency

• May know many words by sight, but have difficulty reading unfamiliar words and pseudowords 

• Often guesses at words

• Poor spelling (in lowest 30th percentile)

• Able to speak and understand English, but not read or write it (such as English language learners)

• Have a language-based learning disability​

• ​

Students who struggle with reading and writing often need direct, explicit instruction in these areas. I offer lessons using research-proven methods that are personally tailored to meet each student’s individual needs. I carefully monitor students’ progress, offering continual feedback and encouragement throughout the lesson. Your child's grades, and confidence, will improve.  We have the best Orton Gillingham certified Reading Tutors in the nation. They hold Center for Effective Reading Instruction certifications, Wilson Reading Dyslexia Specialists, Barton Reading and Spelling Certifications, as well as Orton-Gillingham Certified through AOGPE.
