I aimThe Joy of Reading and the Power of Learning
One of my greatest joys in life is reading. It’s a gateway to expanding the mind, sparking imagination, fostering creative thinking, and enhancing focus and concentration.
As a reading specialist, I draw on my extensive training in educational therapy, English and creative writing, and special education to provide thoughtful and effective instruction. My approach is grounded in respect for each student’s unique abilities and needs, ensuring that learning is not only impactful but also engaging and enjoyable.
I am deeply committed to supporting all students, including those who experienced academic setbacks due to school closures during the pandemic—a challenge that remains a pressing issue for many. My mission is to help every learner regain confidence, close learning gaps, and thrive academically in a supportive and fun environment.
Specialized Tutoring
Not all tutors are equipped to support students with learning differences, as these students often require specialized instruction and individualized programs to meet their unique needs effectively.
My training has prepared me to address the diverse challenges faced by students with learning differences. I understand how to break down complex concepts into manageable steps, ensuring students can build a solid foundation of skills while gaining confidence in their abilities.
My approach goes beyond traditional methods, focusing on personalized instruction tailored to each child's developmental stage and learning style.
I also monitor each student’s progress with care and precision, providing clear and transparent updates to parents. I ensure parents are fully engaged in their child’s academic journey by creating a collaborative environment that includes regular communication and progress sharing. My goal is to empower students with the tools they need to succeed while fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
Customized Learning Plan
My training equips me to help exceptional children develop strong reading skills. I use the Pride Reading Program, which is based on the Orton-Gillingham structured literacy curriculum, employing a multisensory approach customized to meet your child's unique needs. Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all method, I design lessons tailored to your child's developmental stage.
I offer engaging, age-appropriate lessons online, fostering a creative and collaborative environment where learning becomes a rewarding experience. Let’s work together to support your child’s journey toward literacy success.
PRIDE READING PROGRAM The ORTON-GILLINGHAM METHOD OF READING INSTRUCTION
The PRIDE Reading Program is built on the Orton-Gillingham method, specifically designed to teach struggling and non-readers how to read, write, spell, and comprehend. While the program benefits all learners, it is particularly effective for students with dyslexia, auditory and visual processing disorders, speech deficits, and other learning differences.
This program focuses on presenting one skill at a time, ensuring students practice it thoroughly until they achieve automaticity and fluency. This approach eliminates gaps in word-decoding skills, building a strong foundation for reading success.
Lessons are carefully structured and sequential. Students master one skill before progressing to the next, and previously learned material is consistently reviewed and reinforced to ensure it is securely stored in their long-term memory. This methodical approach empowers students to gain confidence and achieve lasting literacy skills.

• Phonology
• Sound Symbol Association
• Syllable Instruction
• Morphology
• Syntax
• Semantics
