If you are here because you know of a child that is struggling
in school with reading and spelling....you are indeed in the right place!
Hello! My name is Karla Kramer, and I am a specialized instructional tutor providing 1:1 tutoring for dyslexic students.
I am dedicated to the one-in-five children that have dyslexia.
By utilizing Orton Gillingham-style methods, including one of the most successful structured programs available, my students improve in not only their reading skills, but also in confidence in their ability to be successful in their lives.
I teach with fidelity using the Barton Reading and Spelling System.
Success!
"After years of frustration around learning to read, our son came to Karla in 2022 with low self-confidence and a reluctance to try something he might not be good at.
Through her gentle, positive nature, Karla quickly built a relationship with my son, and helped him to break down some of his fear and resistance. He has improved in leaps and bounds in the two-and-a-half years he has spent with Karla. He started the 2023/24 school year at the 83rd percentile in reading comprehension and has risen to being at the 92nd percentile in vocabulary.
The Barton System and Karla's fun loving approach have been life changing. We are truly grateful!"

My child struggles with reading. What is dyslexia and is my child dyslexic?
I believe that dyslexia is a difference, not a disability.
I promote and inspire each of my students to believe in themselves and to know that they are not defined by the challenges dyslexia presents. Their intelligence is unaffected by dyslexia. Their creativity, social, and visionary capabilities are enhanced ten-fold. They are valuable and worthwhile just as they are!
They truly have so much to bring to life's table.
"The sky's the limit once you learn how to soar....!"
