"Please see my OTHER, almost identical listing, "Individual Reading Tutor Age 8-18" to sign up. That is a scheduled platform of the days/times that I am DEFINITELY available for tutoring.  This one is open-ended to times where I am generally available but that I cannot guarantee.

I offer Orton-Gillingham based instruction (currently tucked into an online format).  Sessions take about 30 minutes to complete.  In addition to learning the skills needed to decode, lessons will include work around vocabulary, spelling, writing complete sentences, and fluency.  I also share activities that families can do at home to support their child's progress.
I am a passionate Full Time Special Education (reading and writing) teacher by day and I've also worked as an adjunct professor in two graduate programs (Special Education & Differentiating Instruction).  I've been teaching in a public school setting for over 24 years now and have been trained in a variety of reading and writing instruction models.  I have a Masters degree in Education (Learning Disabilities) and I use this formula on a daily basis with a variety of learners... and every single one of them is making growth!  I believe that all children can learn to read.  We just need to put in the work!   In this particular "individual" class, I will provide your child with completely individualized 1:1 instruction catering to where your child's reading skills are at right now and guide them on the path to becoming independent readers.  Once your child learns the tools for independent reading, the really wonderful things in life are going to open up for them!  

Let’s get started!  I can’t wait to meet your child and help them become an independent reader!
