📍Virtual Lessons Hi!

I’m Ali, The K–3 Tutoring Teacher! While teaching swimming lessons to elementary-aged students as a teenager, I had my first experience being a part of a child’s “aha” moment when a student mastered a particular stroke after weeks of practice. That life-changing experience made me realize I wanted to be part of students’ victories in my career! I entered the world of education and graduated with a

Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education with a reading endorsement from Capital University. Over the past ten years, I’ve worked as a tutor, second grade teacher, and reading intervention teacher with a variety of students. I am passionate about forming positive relationships with students while helping them make gains and discover the pleasure and power of learning! Tutoring allows me to utilize my years of teaching experience to target students’ needs with greater accuracy and in a more personalized way.

New openings beginning September 8 for 1:1 virtual reading intervention, literacy evaluations, and parent support consultations.

We’re a couple of weeks into the new school year, and if reading was a struggle for your child last year, you may already be noticing some of those same challenges popping up again.

Maybe they’re still guessing at words, reading slowly or without confidence, struggling to understand what they’ve read, or having a hard time with spelling.

These struggles don’t usually go away just because a new school year begins. The sooner we can identify the specific skills holding a child back, the sooner we can start providing the targeted support they need.

That’s exactly what we do in 1:1 virtual reading sessions, evaluations, and parent consultations. I work with each family individually to identify the specific skills their child needs support with, tailor instruction to those needs, and use ongoing progress data to track their growth and make sure we’re moving in the right direction.

I’m a licensed teacher and certified Orton-Gillingham reading interventionist with over a decade of experience working with young readers. My lessons are interactive, multisensory, and game-based to keep kids engaged, even virtually!

Picture this…

Your child walks into the first day of school feeling more confident and less frustrated, with new skills in their back pocket.

Instead of worrying about whether they’ll have to read aloud during small group...

Instead of worrying if they’ll be the last one to finish the beginning-of-year reading assessment...

They’re able to focus on what really matters because they have stronger reading and spelling skills and, most of all, confidence in themselves.

They raise their hand to read instead of hoping the teacher doesn’t call on them.

They pick up a book without immediately saying, “This is too hard.”

That’s what’s possible when a child gets the right start.

My Back-to-School Literacy Boost is a two-week virtual reading and spelling intensive designed for rising 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders.

Using Science of Reading and Orton-Gillingham principles, we’ll begin strengthening the foundational reading and spelling skills that make reading feel easier and school less overwhelming.

Over two weeks, we’ll build momentum before the school year begins, giving your child a stronger foundation and a more confident start.

While two weeks can’t solve everything, they can build momentum that carries into the school year.

Every child deserves to walk into a new school year believing...

“I can do this.”

Sometimes what parents see on the surface isn’t always the real problem.

A child who avoids reading may be feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, embarrassed, or discouraged long before they have the words to explain it.

Over time, kids begin protecting themselves from those feelings by avoiding books, resisting practice, or deciding that they simply “hate reading.”

That’s why I encourage families to look beyond motivation and ask a different question:

What is making reading feel so difficult?

When we can answer that question, we can begin building the skills, confidence, and success needed to make reading feel more manageable and often much more enjoyable.

Many parents hear terms like “structured literacy,” “explicit phonics instruction,” and “science of reading,” but aren’t always told what those approaches actually mean for a child struggling with reading or spelling.

In an Orton-Gillingham Approach lesson, skills are taught directly, systematically, and step by step so children can build strong decoding, spelling, and reading skills over time.

Instead of guessing words from pictures or memorizing patterns, students learn:

• how sounds connect to letters
• how to break apart unfamiliar words
• spelling rules and phonics patterns
• syllable types and decoding strategies
• how to apply these skills independently while reading

This type of structured reading intervention is especially important for students with dyslexia, reading difficulties, spelling challenges, or students who need more explicit support than they’re receiving in school.

Struggling readers are bright kids who simply need reading instruction taught in a more systematic and explicit way.

If you’re a parent trying to better understand why your child is struggling with reading, decoding, fluency, or spelling, you’re not alone, and there is a clear path forward!
