You can begin by visiting the Contact page and sending a message with a few details about your child (grade level, areas of struggle, and any questions you may have). We’ll then schedule a free consultation to learn more about your child’s needs and book a free literacy assessment.

I use Core Learning Assessments, which offer a comprehensive framework for evaluating reading skills. While the full assessment covers areas such as phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, sight word recognition, vocabulary, and comprehension, I tailor each assessment to your child’s specific needs. This ensures we focus only on the skills that are relevant, so I can build a personalized, effective learning plan right from the start.

All instruction is grounded in the Science of Reading and follows a structured literacy approach that is explicit, systematic, and responsive to each child’s needs. I use research-based programs such as UFLI (University of Florida Literacy Institute) for phonics and decoding instruction, and Heggerty for developing phonological and phonemic awareness. These tools, combined with individualized lesson planning, allow me to effectively support students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other reading challenges.

Yes! Online tutoring can be just as effective as in-person instruction. Lessons are interactive and multisensory—using strategies like tapping, blending, and mapping to engage students. Progress is tracked and communicated regularly, just as it would be in person.

Group lessons are offered for 2–4 students who are closely matched in skill level and learning goals. Placement is based on assessment results and age/grade. If a group isn’t available yet, we’ll keep your child on a waitlist until a match is found.

Yes! I provide both homeschool and after-school tutoring options. For homeschooling families, I can act as your child’s primary reading instructor, delivering structured, evidence-based lessons that align with their learning goals. For after-school students, I offer targeted support that builds on classroom instruction and helps fill in skill gaps. Instruction is always tailored to the individual student’s needs, learning profile, and pace.

I primarily work with students in Kindergarten through Grade 5, building strong foundational reading skills during these critical early years.

I also support older students—including middle and high school learners—who have reading difficulties, were not taught phonics explicitly, or have diagnosed learning differences such as dyslexia. Instruction is always personalized to meet the student where they are, regardless of grade level, and focuses on helping them gain the confidence and skills they need to move forward.

All tutoring is delivered online, allowing me to work with students across Canada, the United States, and select countries in Europe. I support both native English speakers and English language learners, including expat families seeking structured, evidence-based literacy instruction. As long as your child has a reliable internet connection and a suitable device, they can join lessons from anywhere.

For the best experience, students should use a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet—not a smartphone. A stable internet connection is essential, and we recommend using the Google Chrome or Firefox browser for compatibility. All sessions are conducted on a secure, interactive platform called LessonSpace, which allows for real-time collaboration using tools like text, visuals, and whiteboards. No downloads are required—just click the lesson link and join!
