Our Mission

Has your child's teacher told you that they are reading below grade level? This is likely due to the fact that they have "holes" in their reading foundation. Where do these "holes" come from?, you may ask.  These past few school years have come with unprecedented challenges for our youngest learners. Having participated in virtual learning or going to a school that uses teaching methods to teach reading in a "one shoe fits all" manner may be the culprit. 

Here's the major problem, your child is being "pushed" further ahead at school with no regard for the fact that they are not ready to move forward due to lack of foundational skills. Imagine building a foundation for a house out of playdough, instead of cement, just like the house would crumble, your child is also going to "crumble" under the new, higher-level concepts being taught.

Unfortunately, this is a recipe for disaster.  Your child will become frustrated, upset, and have their self esteem crushed. Furthermore, your child will continue to fall behind in reading as well as other subject areas. The worst part is, they will lose their self confidence and ultimately start disliking or even hating school.

So, what can you do to help your child get on the path to academic success, develop a love for reading and learning, and most importantly build up their confidence as a learner?

Well, that's where I come in.  I tutor children in a way that explicitly teaches early elementary aged children how to read and spell with confidence. This will increase their reading fluency, improve their reading comprehension, and help them write and spell.

• Guessing words, unable to use decoding skills, or looking for pictures to help them read
• Unable to read grade level text on their own
• Struggling with their homework
• Expressing a dislike for school or not wanting to go to school
• Receiving poor grades

• I will assess your child and create a custom tailored plan to meet them where they are at and take them to where they need to be, as well as consistently monitoring their progress and altering their plan as needed.
• I will explicitly teach them the phonics and decoding skills they are lacking, in the correct sequence.
• I will increase your child's reading fluency so that they are able to read grade level text.
• I will work on reading comprehension skills with your child, so they are not just "calling" out words, but truly making meaning of what they are reading.
• I will help your child's grades improve across all subject areas.
• I will help build your child's confidence and, in turn, they will start liking school and wanting to learn!
