Frequently Asked Questions
What is Orton-Gillingham?
Orton-Gillingham (OG) is an explicit, structured, sequential multisensory approach to reading instruction. The OG approach breaks reading and spelling into smaller skills, then builds upon them with each lesson.
Who do you tutor?
I tutor students Pre-K and elementary-aged students (3.5 to 12 years old). I have experience working with students with Dyslexia, ADHD, and Autism.
​
What are your tutoring rates?
In-person 1-on-1 tutoring sessions are $88/hour. In-person tutoring sessions are held in the comforts of your home. Rates include travel time, customized lesson planning, materials used, reserved weekly schedule, and student progress updates.
Online sessions via KoalaGo are $75/hour. Students will receive the same, high-quality instruction as in-person tutoring. Online tutoring rates include customized planning, digital materials used, reserved weekly schedule, and student progress updates.

What areas do you provide in-person tutoring?
I provide in-person tutoring if you live within 20 minutes from me. This may include Anaheim (west of the 5), Buena Park, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, North Huntington Beach, Huntington Harbor, Long Beach, Seal Beach, Stanton, and Westminster. If you are not in any of the cities listed, but would like to work with me in-person, please feel free to reach out. I am willing to travel further if it is the right fit.
​
How much tutoring time do you recommend?
In order to make adequate progress, I recommend 2 weekly tutoring sessions at minimum. Young students may require 30 minute sessions, while older students may be able to handle 1-1.5 hour sessions. We will discuss tutoring time during our 15-minute phone call, as well as after our Meet & Greet to determine the most effective plan for your child.
​
Do you accept Charter funds?
At this time, I am not a vendor for any Charter schools. I'd love to help you on your homeschool journey! Many Charter schools require parents to put in a request for a Vendor. Please let me know if you'd like me to partner with a Charter, and we can work together to get approval!
What learning platform do you use for online tutoring?
I use Koala Go, an interactive online classroom that has a virtual whiteboard, co-browser (a function that allows for your child and me to view a browser simultaneously), and a Playground to engage student learning.
​
You will receive my classroom link that you'll use for all tutoring lessons. You will not need to create an account or download anything. Simply use the same link each time your child has a lesson.

Yes, I offer summer tutoring. The Summer Slide program is an 8-week program designed to reduce skill regression over the summer. Please check back in April 2026 for the list of program options.​
​
Do you offer group tutoring?
Siblings at similar skill levels may be grouped together for tutoring sessions. Please contact me if you have a group that you'd like me to work with and we can discuss further.
