Teaching is my passion! I'm a literacy tutor specializing in helping students who struggle with reading, writing and spelling. I have been teaching since 1994 and have taught in both private and public schools and I homeschooled my children too. I have personal experience with dyslexia because I am the parent of a dyslexic. I received specialized training in the Orton-Gillingham approach through OGA (Orton Gillingham Academy) at the Associate and Certified Levels as well as additional training through IMSLEC (International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council).
My goals are to equip and help build confidence in children who are struggling with language skills so that they become proficient readers, writers, and spellers and encourage and help equip parents and educators too.
Since 2016, I have tutored students using the Orgton-Gillingham (OG) approach. I firmly believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience for the student! I am continually finding and creating games and activities to engage students and help them enjoy the process of learning through the multisensory approach used in OG tutoring. Orton-Gillingham tutoring has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling things that I have ever done! I love the flexibility of this approach and seeing the gains my students make in using their developing literacy skills.
"W. has unofficially been diagnosed with Dyslexia. He's struggled with reading since we started school 5 years ago. Being a teacher myself and not being able to help him was a hard pill to swallow. But I got over it and asked Ms. Angela to help. She has changed his life! He is finally reading and his confidence has grown tremendously!"
"We have loved our time working with Ms. Angela! She has a great connection with our daughter and is very personable. She is calming, fun to talk with and plays lots of games. She listens to my daughter, remembers what her likes are, and uses them to engage her in the learning process. [Angela's] love for the children shows in everything she does!"
"I was just thinking of how much [Angela] helped S. when we first learned about his dyslexia. I feel so fortunate that he had [Angela] in his life at that time. He's now in 6th grade and he says that reading and English are the easiest subjects for him!...He's reading on grade level and doesn't need any specific IEP accommodations except in math."
"Angela's individualized approach was evident from my son's initial evaluation. She clearly wasn't just gauging what he knew about reading, but was laying the foundation for a relationship. She is a master at using an online platform to present engaging, fun lessons that hold a child's interest while building their skills. Within weeks, my son's progress far exceeded my expectations...Angela gave him the tools to succeed, and I'm so grateful!"
"When we learned our daughter was dyslexic, we wanted to do whatever we could to help her read better. [Angela] has been instrumental in our journey. We could not have found a more personalized, caring tutor or someone who understands the needs of the dyslexic child any better. We will forever be grateful for the time and effort [Angela] has dedicated to our daughter becoming a confident reader."
"Our eldest had faced significant reading and general academic challenges which were taking a toll on her confidence and feelings of self-worth...Miss Angela not only helped her overcome these hurdles, but helped reignite her passion for learning that we never thought possible. Now [at] age 15, she reads with confidence and is excelling academically at a rigorous college prep school. We cannot thank Miss Angela enough for helping our children soar academically and develop a love for learning...She has not just been a tutor; she has been a mentor, a guide, a beacon of hope, and a friend. Our family will always be grateful for Miss Angela and think of her with great affection for her invaluable contribution to our daughters' education and well-being."
