We begin with a free consultation, where you will have the opportunity to share about your child’s experiences with learning to read and spell, as well as any diagnoses and/or interventions they may already have. I will also be happy to answer any questions you may have about the tutoring services I offer.

During the student’s initial session, I will administer an assessment that will assist me in identifying your child’s current levels in the different language areas—such as phonemic/phonological awareness, reading, spelling, handwriting, and high frequency words. The results of this assessment will provide the data I need to create an individualized literacy success plan for your child.

This session will also be used to acquaint your child with my online learning platform.

Each lesson typically contains a review of previously taught material and high frequency words, and the introduction of a new concept, with application activities in phonemic awareness, reading, and spelling/writing.

Sessions are delivered online via Zoom. Each one hour session is 1-on-1 and tailored to the needs of your child. In order to make meaningful progress, a minimum of two sessions is required per week.

Progress is continuously monitored, allowing for frequent adjustments and individualized lesson planning to meet your child’s specific needs. Because instruction follows a diagnostic and prescriptive model, errors are addressed immediately, with ample opportunities for review, guided practice, repetition, and meaningful application.
