Teaching Philosophy

​

I believe that every child can read; they just need someone to teach them in a way that works for them. I tutor using the Orton-Gillingham approach but also draw from my past experiences and knowledge to customize lesson plans and the tutoring experience for each child. My students all become confident readers.
