Watch How We Transform Readers

A brief look inside our specialized tutoring sessions and the science-backed methods we use to build reading confidence.

As the founder of Dyslexia, Learning and Support Group Fl and Decoding Literacy.com, a 501 (3) c for literacy in Palm Beach County, Fl, she and other parents of dyslexics are collaborating to change how literacy in PBC is delivered. She is a member of the Florida Council of Exceptional Children and an active member and presenter for the Florida Branch of the International Dyslexia Association.

She has worked as a general education and special education teacher at both Elementary and Secondary education levels, working with varying exceptionalities such as students with Intellectual disabilities (IND), Specific Learning Disabled- DYSLEXIA, DYSGRAPHIA, DYSCALCULIA, ADHD/ADD, as well as AUTISM, and GIFTEDNESS, etc...

She has extensive training working with students who thrive with specialized interventions such as Orton-Gillingham based methods. She has a proven track record for increasing the reading and spelling outcomes for all her students. The learning process can be a struggle for many students with conventional whole word reading teaching methods.

Fortunately, most students thrive when given a multi-sensory structured language program tailored to improve their unique areas of deficit. Because the techniques used in every tutoring session follow a multi-sensory approach, games and manipulatives are incorporated into lessons, reinforcing previously learned concepts in a fun and engaging way.

iReading Tutors are Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading, Barton Reading trained, or hold a CALT or CERI certification. We are not just any elementary or secondary tutors, that come up in your typical google search" tutors near me" or even "dyslexia tutors near me". Your child WILL BENEFIT from our highly skilled interventionists/tutors. We have the most highly credentialed and best reading teachers in the United States and Canada. We have been teaching reading online and face to face since 2015.
