About Us

Virtual and in-person in the Indian Hills, Colorado area for kids who struggle with reading, whether or not they have a dyslexia diagnosis.

I am  a licensed teacher in the state of CO, with over 8 years experience teaching in the classroom.  I have tutored 1-1 and small groups with Orton-Gillingham for the last three years, and have fallen in love with the methodology and the results.  My passion is helping students gain confidence in their reading and writing.
