I provide certified dyslexia assessments and 1-on-1 reading instruction for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders.

Our Services

I work exclusively with dyslexic children to improve their reading and writing skills through 1-on-1 instruction in their own homes.

To provide maximum success for the child, all sessions are conducted in-person in your home. Scroll down to find answers to frequently asked questions.

Step 1:

Dyslexia Assessment

I will evaluate your child with a Dyslexia Assessment in your home. This takes around one hour.

Step 2:

1-on-1 learning plan

Based on the results of your child’s Dyslexia Assessment, I create an individualized learning plan and schedule to increase their skills and confidence. Plans typically include 2 sessions of 30-45 minutes of instruction per week, for a minimum commitment of six months. I come to your home so your child continues learning in their own safe, comfortable environment.

Step 3:

Monitor progress

Every six months, I will evaluate your child’s progress and adjust the learning plan as needed until they are measurably confident in their abilities!
