Welcome to this advanced reading mastery class, an exclusive and personalized learning experience designed for learners who want to improve their reading skills under the expert guidance of a reading specialist. This private class is tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each learner. Enrolling in this class will start your child on a transformative journey towards becoming a more proficient reader.

First, I will conduct a comprehensive, one-on-one reading analysis and assessment. This will take two sessions. This will help me understand the areas in which I will work the most with your child. I will create my lesson plans based on the areas of greatest needs. 
I will use texts based on your learner’s level and areas of interest.  Each lesson, I will teach targeted strategies with engaging activities, carefully curated to align with your reading preferences and professional or academic goals.
