Tutoring for Orton-Gillingham & Advanced Readers + Remedial Math

I am a reading specialist who was trained in Orton-Gillingham as well as have taught students with reading disabilities for 15 years. 

I have a master’s degree though the department of education and have been teaching and working with students for the past 20+ years.  I am a licensed K-12 special education teacher and was also the academic achievement specialist at my previous in-person school to make sure that all regular education K-8 students were making adequate progress in their academic studies each year. Prior to that I was a therapist for kids ages 5-17 who struggled with behaviors at home and at school.  

Throughout my experiences as an art therapist and then as a special education teacher, I have seen that children learn best when engaged in hands-on acitivities. They tend to retain information much more effectively when enaged in active learning. Besides learning the class standards, one of the other focuses for students in this class will be on actively participating.
