Literacy tutor

I am a Reading Interventionist and Learning Specialist.  My teaching is based on the latest research in Structured Literacy.

I offer online lessons for 6 to 12-year-olds who are struggling with reading and writing.

I was a classroom teacher and then worked for many years as a learning specialist and reading support teacher in a school setting.  I also have four children of my own!

I am patient, experienced and flexible. 

Qualifications

- Elementary School Teacher with a Quebec teaching diploma - BA with Distinction in Early Childhood Education

- Orton-Gillingham Associate in training, specifically for dyslexic students

-LETRS trained - Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling course.

Research shows that in many cases, ongoing reading difficulties can be prevented through personalised one-to-one instruction with a Structured Literacy  approach. My goal for children is to give intensive remediation - before the gap is too large - and before the child’s self-esteem suffers if they fall further behind their peers.  My lessons are effective and motivating, making reading a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

If you have questions about your child's reading, please get in touch.
