"Hello, I'm Lila! I am a reading intervention specialist with over 10 years of experience helping students discover the joy of reading through the Lindamood-Bell programs, specializing in developing strong foundational literacy skills. I also have 8 years of successful online teaching experience, bringing personalized instruction to students regardless of location. Over the years, I have worked with learners with diverse needs, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, ASD, and other learning differences, tailoring my approach to support each individual's growth.

With a bachelor's degree in Educational Studies and current graduate work toward a Master's in Education in Educational Technology and Instructional Design, I combine expertise with innovative strategies to create engaging, effective learning experiences. My approach is patient, fun, and supportive, helping students build confidence, take risks, and develop a love of reading.

I am deeply passionate about educational equity and believe in the transformative power of literacy. I emphasize the importance of consistent, daily practice in building and retaining literacy skillsets through this regular engagement that students make the most meaningful and lasting progress. Whether working one-on-one or in small groups, I tailor lessons to each learner, building skills step by step while celebrating progress. My goal is not only to teach students how to read but to inspire lifelong learners who feel empowered to reach their full potential." less...
