A passion for reading!
I am a Special Education Teacher in Colorado as well as a Licensed Dyslexia Practitioner, and I have over two decades of experience in the field of education. My enthusiasm for reading instruction in all of its aspects means I go above and beyond for students I work with.
Expert Instruction
My expertise in the components of reading including research-based assessment and instruction means meaningful growth.
Flexibility
I work successfully with students of all ages, from kindergarten to high school and beyond.
Collaboration With Schools
Experience as an educator and a tutor allows me to work together with your child’s school team to support reading.
Assessment
I am skilled with utilizing assessments that will identify student needs and guide reading and writing practice.
Progress
Working with students and families to measure progress and ensure client needs are being met.
Self-Advocacy Skills
Self-awareness, self-monitoring, and self-advocacy are skills I teach in alignment with literacy so that students are clear about what works for them.
