"For the past 23 years I have tutored students in the St. Louis metro area who struggled with reading. My experience spans with students preschool through adult levels that attended public school, private school, online and have been home schooled. I recently moved to Michigan and am looking forward to working with new families and sharing my experience. I specialize in working with students who require alternative approaches to achieve success in learning.

Working in the field of Education my entire life, I encountered distinct differences in each child’s ability to acquire skills in Literacy. By continued research, gaining new skills and receiving certificates in a variety of programs, I developed an individualized approach utilizing these programs. It combines research-based strategies to ensure success. Students as young as seven years of age have remarked, “I know this program will work.” Student confidence builds and they are excited to embrace their newly learned abilities. This gives them a greater appreciation and motivation for their educational experience.

I currently possess a B.S. Education with Certifications in Elementary Education K-8 and Special Education K-12. I have acquired certificates in several multisensory reading programs. The following programs are the Wilson Reading/Language programs, Spire and Step Up to Writing. In addition, I have been trained in the Great Leaps program, the Rewards program and a multisensory grammar program.

My varied experiences provides me with a clear picture of each student’s needs. I have worked with students that have been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Specific Language Disabilities and Cognitive Impairment. I provide an extensive evaluation to support the educational program that I create for each individual student. I empower parents by assisting them with advocacy for their children. I thoroughly enjoy working with parents that have a sincere interest in supporting the programs.
