***Since the launch of Outschool's new 1 to 1 format, I've switched my tutoring sessions to private.  This ensures my learners can keep their current, long-standing time slots.  
If you are interested in tutoring, please message me to come up with some availability!
I look forward to meeting your learners!***


The OG approach is a systematic, multi-sensory way of instruction that focuses on phonological awareness and other scientifically based language structures. In this ongoing course, learners will study structured literacy such as phoneme awareness, morphology, orthography, semantics, syntax, and text structure to improve their reading skills. By using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic techniques, learners will build connections to their internal language centers and develop brand-new reading skills at their own pace. They will walk away from each meeting with newfound confidence as they reach their reading goals.

***Each weekly class will be custom-created for the learner.

I promote fun, happy learning environments where kids are free to talk and laugh with each other and with me.  I believe that the best learning happens when learners are happy, engaged, comfortable, and supported.
