Yes, I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation to discuss your child’s literacy needs and how I can help support their progress.
My online course is accessible from anywhere with the internet. I also provide 1:1 virtual services to parents and students nationwide.
While tutoring focuses on delivering personalized reading and spelling instruction, parent coaching helps parents advocate for their child’s literacy needs at school. I suggest starting with my video-based online course that will guide parents through understanding their rights and communicating with the school. If you have additional questions or keep getting stonewalled at school I also offer 1:1 parent coaching.
With over 25 years of experience in early education, I hold a graduate degree in Reading Science and a Dyslexia Certificate from Mount St. Joseph University. I am trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach and certified as a Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist by CERI. Additionally, I serve as an active board member of the International Dyslexia Association, Hawaii Branch.
The first step is a foundational reading assessment to identify your child’s specific needs. This includes two sessions with your child, followed by data analysis and a detailed report to ensure that lessons are customized to meet your child's unique needs.
If the teacher reports no concerns, don’t wait—early intervention is crucial. Request a meeting with your child’s teacher to discuss your concerns. My free parent-teacher guide can help you navigate this conversation and my online course includes scripts, guidance, and email templates to guide you.
