I’ve expanded my hours to serve more students and am now offering tutoring on Mondays!

I’ve still got a few spots open for fall tutoring & am planning to have my schedule full by the first week in October.

If you’ve been thinking about signing up for tutoring, but are not sure if my program is the right fit for your child please reach out with any questions you have.

The initial assessment with me is free and is a good way to meet and answer any questions you may have.

Looking to support your K-3rd grade reader? I’d love to help!

I’ve worked with young readers in Sonoma County for just about 10 years now. Learning to read is such an exciting time and I love to help children take that leap into becoming a confident fluent reader!

I support students with learning their letters & sounds, blending those sounds to read words, digraphs, vowel teams, compound words, high frequency words, multi-syllabic words, reading comprehension & writing skills.

If you have questions about my tutoring program please check out my website or reach out 📖✨

Learning to read multisyllabic words can be tricky- especially if they have an open syllable!

I love helping children learn to read multisyllabic words! Once it clicks, it opens so many doors for the types of books and reading materials they can read independently📖✨

Invest in your child’s reading growth this summer and prevent the “summer slide” before it begins!

Even one session per week with a K–6 Orton-Gillingham reading specialist can help your child strengthen reading skills, build confidence, and start the fall feeling prepared instead of playing catch-up.

Sessions are engaging, personalized, and designed to make learning stick through:
🎲 Fun, interactive reading games
📖 Books matched to your child’s skill level and interests
🧠 Multi-sensory Orton-Gillingham instruction
📓 A personalized take-home binder with books and games for continued practice

Limited summer spots available — message me for details and a free assessment.
