Oregon Licensed Teacher and Administrator 

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. 

Retired Oregon Licensed Teacher

ISME trained Orton Gillingham Tutor

During my teaching career, I always had a passion to help students become confident readers and learners. I want students to discover how words work, and through the Orton-Gillingham approach, I can share this knowledge with them through explicit instruction. 

I am so excited to be a tutor at  Rose City Reading and offer one-to-one tutoring to help your student become a confident reader and speller.

Working toward Certified Level with the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Educators and Practitioners

I started my career as a veterinarian with an emphasis on behavior and learning. When I discovered that two of my children had dyslexia, my focus shifted to helping students with this learning difference. In order to successfully help students, I became certified by the Orton Gillingham Academy at the associate level. I have worked with students of all ages and I love to plan specific, explicit, multi-sensory lessons for students to improve their reading and spelling and grow their confidence.

I taught 1st and 3rd grade and am excited to step into a new niche of education as a reading tutor. I love to make students feel confident and empowered to succeed in whatever they set their minds to!
