My Clients
You, the parent, know your child better than anyone else. You may have asked for help, only to be told your child does not need an evaluation. You may have tried mass-market tutoring chains with unsuccessful results. If your child has been assessed, you may have signed an IEP (Individual Education Plan), but have not been satisfied with the progress your child is making.
You know your child is bright! You know your child is capable of more than what he or she is doing in school. There is no such thing as an unmotivated child. I can help make learning fun.

Diagnosed problems:
Dyslexia - is a "processing of information problem" that can show up in reading, writing, following directions, and/or math. It can show up in the visual or auditory mode. The positive side to Dyslexia is that hidden talents are often uncovered with Specialized Tutoring. Sometimes Dyslexia is misdiagnosed as:
- ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder
- ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
