"Hello!
Thank you so much for stopping by my profile and taking the time to learn about my background. Here’s a fun fact: our brains weren’t originally designed to read. Even though reading, especially in English, can be quite a challenge, it’s something we often take for granted. Language is all about sounds represented by our 26 letters, which combine to form words. This complexity can create hurdles for some people.
As a Certified Dyslexia Therapist, my passion is helping individuals navigate these challenges. My approach is unique and tailored to each student’s needs, whether they learn best through touch, sight, sound, or a mix of methods. By focusing on the right sounds and using the best assistive technology, we can make great strides in reading and math.
I’m excited to help your child fall in love with reading and writing. To get the best results, I recommend committing to at least one hour per session, twice a week. This consistency is key to making steady progress. I’m here to support your child and help them unlock their full potential!
