Homeschool Tutoring Information
Who I Tutor
I work with TK-12 students struggling with reading, spelling, and writing, and well as students with suspected or diagnosed Dyslexia, ADHD, and Autism.
Subjects
Reading: I tutor reading using the Orton-Gillingham or EBLI approaches. For young students, this can include phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling, sight words, reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. I also provide morphology instruction (affixes, Greek, and Latin roots) to support higher level reading and spelling, vocabulary development, and reading comprehension for older students (3rd and up).
Spelling: Spelling is taught in combination with reading, either through phonics or morphology. Young students are explicitly taught phonics, while older students are taught affixes, Latin roots, and Greek roots for spelling. Students apply their phonics or morphology knowledge to spelling.
Writing: I work on handwriting skills in conjunction with reading and spelling. I tutor writing using Releasing Writers (thinkSRSD), a set of evidence-based writing strategies, to work on informational, opinion, and narrative writing. I also use Strengthening Student Writing through Focus for writing.

Charter School Vendor
I am currently an approved vendor for Sage Oak Charter Schools, Suncoast Charter School, Mission Vista Academy, and Harmony Educational Services. I'd love to help you on your homeschool journey!
