Skyword Tutoring

Short answer...yes! Each child is unique however and there are indeed some children that just do better in person. However, I have successfully worked with many students, and the online experience is highly successful for most.....even the squirrely kids! The sessions I provide are engaging. I utilize an online platform that allows my remote students to participate live with me, moving components as well as completing necessary exercises with ease. I incorporate a lot of educational games to test drive what we have learned, too. Many of my families prefer online, as it is efficient, removing the time, inconvenience and frustration of commuting.

I use the proven Barton Reading and Spelling System, which is Orton Gillingham-based and has been successful in teaching reading and spelling for over 30 years. The Orton Gillingham methodology promotes multi-sensory learning, using tactile, auditory and visual senses for an effective and interesting experience. I associate spelling rules with stories and logic, which are avenues that children with dyslexia really appreciate and enjoy, making it so much easier for them to learn and retain.

Orton Gillingham is a method of teaching children to read. The Orton Gillingham method provides instruction in a structured manner, using multi-sensory methods and intellect that allow children with dyslexia to absorb and make sense of how our language system works (which is precisely how their brains work!). It is evidence-based, having been proven to be highly successful.

My tutoring program offers a monthly rate, based on an annual calendar to provide the most value. You will receive 8 individual, 50-minute lessons per month, including 2 hours of personalized lesson planning time and progress updates for each student. I include breaks and time off in this annual calendar, as well as personal days for both myself and my families for absences. The rate is $600/month for my specialized online services. Please inquire if you are interested in in-person rates.
