"Hi, I’m Carrie! I’m a passionate educator with over 25 years of experience in elementary education and 4 years as a Reading Intervention Specialist. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and have dedicated my career to helping students build strong reading foundations and a lifelong love of learning.

I specialize in helping students build foundational literacy skills using evidence-based approaches like Orton-Gillingham and structured phonics instruction. My background includes supporting a wide range of learners, from struggling readers to advanced students, and tailoring lessons to meet individual needs. I’m passionate about fostering confidence and a love of reading in every child I work with.

My approach combines warmth, structure, and evidence-based instruction. I specialize in literacy intervention and early reading development, using strategies grounded in the Orton-Gillingham and Structured Literacy frameworks. Whether your child needs support catching up, improving comprehension, or gaining confidence, I tailor each lesson to their individual needs and learning style.

I believe learning should be engaging and encouraging. Parents appreciate my patience, consistency, and clear communication, and students feel supported and motivated to do their best.

If you’re looking for an experienced tutor who understands how to unlock reading success—while keeping sessions positive and productive—I’d love to work with your student!" less...
