I love helping kids grow as readers! I have been a primary teacher for thirteen years and find great joy in teaching kids to become confident learners. Over the last few years, I have been on a learning journey with my own two kids who are dyslexic. This led me to the Orton Gillingham Approach and I started tutoring my kids plus other young elementary students. The fun multi-sensory and explicit approach has greatly helped my kids to become stronger readers and find a love for reading. I’m so excited to be tutoring one-on-one with Rose City Reading and helping your child grow as a confident reader.

At the beginning of my teaching career, I took a basic Orton Gillingham class. Years later, what I learned helped me identify signs of dyslexia in my preschool child. 

Her dyslexia diagnosis prompted me to do additional training. I have since become an Orton Gillingham tutor, working with elementary, middle, and high school students. 

One-on-one tutoring combines some of my favorite things–reading and working with kids! Looking forward to meeting you and your child.
