After reaching out to the Barton Company and receiving permission, I am pleased to offer my one-on-one dyslexia reading tutoring on Outschool. The Barton Program is a carefully developed, research-supported, multi-sensory program for teaching dyslexics to read and write. We will work together one-on-one. Commitment is the key. Remediating dyslexia takes time. I'm committed for the long term. Typically it takes at least three months for parents to start seeing improvement and one to three years to catch up to grade level.  

This is an on-going class. The first three or four lessons will be spent getting to know each other. I will use screening and testing tools to assess the student's abilities and needs. I will show you my teaching materials and help you understand the Barton Program. Along with Barton I usually improve and support phonemic awareness skills with The Heggerty Program or UFLI Foundations. We will use online color and letter tiles, as well as ebooks and games to support learning. 

I will be able to provide practice material for the parent to work on with the student as soon as the student is past level 1. I have nine levels of this program, which can last three years or more. I look forward to helping your student on their reading journey!

Teacher expertise and credentials

   Hi everyone!  I'm very thankful to be added to this wonderful group of amazing teachers and super students! I'm a homeschool mom + reading specialist + ESL teacher. We have 8 kids ages 14-29 so homeschooling has been part of my life for a long time. I found out early on that my favorite thing to teach is reading. It's such an important skill! I use the Barton Reading and Spelling System for most of the reading teaching that I do. More recently I have discovered teaching English online. I thoroughly enjoy teaching children in China to speak our beautiful language. I'm so excited to have found a fantastic ESL program called Off2Class that I can use with kids on Outschool.  
   I have a Bachelor's degree in sociology and education from the State University of New York at Fredonia. I've been teaching in a variety of settings ever since.  This includes homeschool (pre-k through 12th grade), children's programs at church, two private Christian schools, private tutoring business and online ESL (VIPKid). 
   I love seeing kids smile during class and I understand the importance of student engagement and  participation in the learning process. I will provide lots of opportunities for your student to interact with me and the learning materials. Let's have a great time improving reading and English skills!
