As an Orton-Gillingham tutor, I specialize in implementing a multi-sensory and systematic approach designed to cater to diverse learning styles, particularly benefiting students with dyslexia. My tutoring sessions are highly personalized. I create individualized learning plans by integrating materials from various interventions, aiming to bridge educational gaps effectively. I am dedicated to meeting students at their unique academic levels and creating a supportive environment that fosters confidence and success. My structured tutoring sessions aim to equip all students, including those with dyslexia, with the skills needed to navigate and overcome literacy challenges.

I offer flexible, individualized instruction both in person and online to meet each student’s unique needs. Locally in Denver, I meet students at their schools during the day or in my tutoring space at my home after school.

I also offer engaging online sessions using the Orton-Gillingham approach, along with other research-based methods, to students across the United States. I support a wide range of subjects beyond literacy, including math, content areas, and executive functioning skills.

My approach is responsive to different learning styles, creating an inclusive space where students feel confident and supported.
