Personalized instruction designed specifically to address your child’s learning needs
Tutoring
I offer a free initial consultation, where I meet with you (and your child if you choose) to discuss your child’s strengths and needs.
A tutoring plan is established, to provide a baseline for developing a prescriptive plan to meet your child’s specific needs. A minimum of two sessions per week of one hour is required for dyslexia tutoring, in order to affect changes in the brain that are necessary to ensure long-term learning and retention. This intensity is integral to the O-G approach. I provide ongoing benchmarks and plan each lesson to meet your child’s specific needs. I do not just follow a “canned” sequence of pre-made lessons.
