CREATING LITERACY SUCCESS & EMPOWERING CHILDREN WITH DYSLEXIA
What IS MY PHILOSOPHY?
I believe in the Science of Reading, which supports the Structured Literacy approach. Reading is an acquired skill and does not come naturally or easily for most children. It must be explicitly taught. With the right evidence-based instruction, children with Dyslexia can learn to read, spell, and write successfully.
This directly shapes how I teach. I use the Orton-Gillingham and Speech-to-Print (EBLI) approaches because they meet the individual needs of students with Dyslexia. Both approaches are individualized, diagnostic, prescriptive, multisensory, structured, sequential, and cumulative, and are emotionally sound in their delivery.
To achieve the best results, I provide one-to-one instruction only, delivered virtually via Zoom. It is recommended that your child attend a minimum of 2 sessions and a maximum of 5 sessions per week, as the highest success rates come with frequent, consistent instruction. Sessions are 45 or 60 minutes, but can be adjusted based on your child's age, attention span, individual needs, or schedule.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL & BEHAVioral SKILLS
Children with Dyslexia often struggle with social-emotional and behavioral needs related to low self-esteem, low self-confidence, anxiety, poor emotional self-regulation, and a fixed mindset. They may also present with behavioral challenges such as work avoidance, high distractibility, or oppositional behaviours.
Essential to effective learning is feeling emotionally safe and accepted. I focus on building positive and trusting relationships with each student and provide instruction that is emotionally sound, scaffolded for success, and pitched at the child's current level. This builds confidence and reduces frustration and anxiety.
I establish clear expectations for learning behaviors and use teachable moments to develop a growth mindset, support emotional regulation, encourage independence and self-advocacy, and empower children to take ownership of their learning. I support each child through a positive, direct, firm, fair, consistent, supportive, and respectful approach, using collaborative and proactive problem-solving.

INCREASED SUCCESSFUL LITERACY OUTCOMES
INCREASED SELF-AWARENESS
INCREASED SELF-CONFIDENCE

INCREASED MOTIVATION & WILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE IN LEARNING
Disclaimer: I do not believe in "quick-fix" programs. I am committed to serving your child with excellence, consistency, and using evidence-based practices. Response to intervention may vary with each child. Progress is dependent on multiple factors such as the child's age, underlying challenges, comorbidities, school experience, social-emotional and behavioral needs, work ethic, and mindset. Like any worthwhile endeavor, it takes commitment, hard work, discipline, and consistency, and requires full parental support. Therefore, results may vary. I cannot and do not make any guarantees about results. The information and services on this website are for educational purposes only and are not a promise or guarantee of results.
