Literacy Instruction

The Orton-Gillingham approach is a cognitive-science based approach to reading and writing instruction that was developed to re-wire the brain and remediate symptoms of dyslexia.

This approach is necessary for struggling learners, and beneficial for all learners.

In each session, we will be recording quantitative data of your child's progress, allowing us to hone in on your child's knowledge gap and fill it with zero guess-work.

Our Teaching Values

The foundation of my practice is based on my teaching values.

  • To do list icon

    Consistency

    Consistency is key. We meet minimum 2x/week to re-wire and grow the brain, like a muscle! 

  • Ticking boxes icon

    Persistence

    We believe in roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hard work. It's not just about sweating it out, but also about the satisfaction that comes from knowing you've given your all to achieve something worthwhile.

  • Kindness icon

    Kindness

    Kindness and respect set the stage for our sessions. It's all about creating a safe space to learn, grow, and have fun doing it.
